Yanks look practically unbeatable this season, but we can do it. Though am anxious about our pitching for sure. Also, I didn't see an introduction thread? Sorry if I missed it but new here so just wanted to say that I have been a fan since I was in middle school(Mid 30's now) and live outside Winston-Salem. Became a fan due to the Warthogs(Now Dash) being Sox affiliates. Been to see games in Charlotte and Kannapolis also. Also a teacher. Anyway, looking forward to getting involved in the forum.?

Tony La Russa is by far the worst manager amongst all the competing teams. We sat through a 5-6 year rebuild only for Jerry Reinsdorf to ruin it with this hire. TLR is incompetent, unlikable, clueless, and has cost this team far more wins in a year plus than he has won. And that is what we were promised. It's been nothing of that.

3 scoreless innings with 5 K's & 1 BB for Burke so far.

Beats a lot of things

Of course I hated the hire. I was happy when Hawl fired him in 1986. But he hooked up with Oakland when they were ready to win and won with them, then when they got bad he was able to move to perhaps the best run team in baseball for more than a decade, and got tons of accolades for that. The question I have is he has been back in the White Sox dugout for around 200 games, can you think of 1 time the HOF baseball person schooled his counterpart? I can't

Yet they still have ATMs in the park. They should make them so you can throw cash in them and a card come out you can use at the concession stands. Maybe I need to write JR about joining his organ I zation. The other thing that sucks is you have to either tip or hit a button to skip the tip when using plastic. Sorry, I don’t need to tip someone $2 to hand me an Aquafina they are charging me $7. You’re charging that much, you should be able to pay your workers a respectable wage.

I have been down on Dallas as much as anyone but credit where credit is due tonight. He shut them down and gave the Sox a chance. Great to see the team really compete tonight especially in that bottom of the 9th. Let's get this split!

For my first attended game of the year, not half bad LETS GOOOOOO

Batting Jose 4th instead of 3rd tonight probably won the Sox the game lol

to be fair i hate the white sox a lot more right now

That’s the best righty swing I’ve ever seen from him

And we've been amazing with the bases loaded!

We stand alone!

The Sox are 4 games over the .500 mark since last years All Star break plus 1-3 in the playoffs. Unfortunately it looks like that's what we have on our hands, basically a .500 team with some serious flaws. The handwriting was on the wall and during the off season the FO refused to address the needs of the team, shame on them.

I was thinking we borrow Jose Ramirez instead so we can return him as an impatient hitting groundball machine.

Credit to Dallas tonight. We really, really needed that performance.

Win tomorrow and suddenly the sky isn't falling anymore

I will never tire of seeing Chapman lose

Be fair man. You cant frame a pitch when the pitcher misses his spot like that. Like Stone said you won't get that call when the catcher has to reach.

Grandal suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

Same shit Grandal pulled with Kimbrel last year

Lies, all lies. I've been told you have to spend at LEAST 35 million on your bullpen.

Hendriks can’t throw the slider because he knows he spikes it about 60 pct of the time

This was Tony La Russa's guy. He wanted Kelly.

That was good. Now more runs !

Nice inning, Graveman.

It's not just that they're good hitters, but this lineup was desperately missing the way Yoan & Vaughn grind out ABs

The guy who had an 8.54 ERA 3rd time through last year should not be allowed to face Aaron Judge for a 3rd time.

Blake Rutherford with his 5 HR this season. His batting average is also up. He’s still relatively young. I wonder if getting dropped from the 40 man roster motivated him. If he can sustain that power he might be worth a look/trade.

We went out and signed the top FA catcher on the market and we got a 112 and 157 OPS+ the last two years. Would have preferred his leg didn't fall off, but a top offensive catcher - one of the few players on our team that draws walks, I really don't regret it and shudder to think how we try to replace him in a couple years

So I've just started watching a Sox game in 4K for the first time, its neat seeing us not work counts in even higher definition

Kath opposite field bomb. Love it.

Some of us are surly at times, especially in the gamethreads but we are all fans. Welcome and have fun posting.

Not sure if it's being hot or what but this feels like the series in Houston last year.

There is a silver lining to these past two games we should consider. I bet heavy on the Yankees as favorites and won some nice cash. Will pay for the Roache family vacation in a couple of weeks.

What? The White Sox win DESPITE TLR, not because of him. Of course you don't hear anything when we win. He's so far down the list of reasons we win, he's not worth mentioning.

Yeah, not having a salary cap is the problem. Owners that refuse to spend = non competitive baseball.

The Sox have to win the Central to make the playoffs. There isn't any WC coming out of the Central. They are going to have to make some changes soon as far as Abreau and the log jam of DH's on the team as well as upgrading 2B somehow. If Lynn comes back strong and the rest of the starters stay healthy they should at least be in the hunt to win the division. At this point that is all you can hope for. Just make the playoffs and see what happens.

Not much to say. We are not good. I have tickets to tomorrow game and my kid said......."dad i 4 words for you........ DALLAS KEUECHEL VERSUS YANKEES

I keep going back to his comments in ST about taking it year by year (about his future baseball career). His play and effort reeks of someone just going through the motions.

Not only does he suck at his job, but he’s very smug and unlikeable.

Oh thank god, the turning point thread has arrived.

If you keep making the same thread and point every year, it's bound to be accurate eventually.

These games were very close. Could have gone either way.

I've been on a work trip...fuck this trash ass team

No salary cap = noncompetitive baseball.

I tell u one thing. If Sox lose all five to KC next week or 4 of 5, there should be a housecleaning. Hahn, Tony, hitting coach all should be fired. No excuses. Sox already have sucked vs. the Central and should be "ready to play," if this team is capagle of being "ready to play." Five game series can be weird. If the Sox lose game one of the five game set, look out. But if you lose all five, I'm serious, heads have to roll.

Why every time we get someone back someone else goes down in some way

I’d be thanking Katz
