Most life we’ve seen all year and it’s only the third game TLR has been out. Not by chance. Wild game.

Hey… look… a competent organization picked up Billy Hamilton. Instead we have two injured guys sitting on the bench taking up roster spots for nothing.

Yep Tony said by the end of the season fans will love him...Twins fans, Guardians Fans, Orioles Fans.......

Good call to bring Hendricks in the ninth. There was no use waiting until extra innings to use him. This was playing to win, not hope for the best.

I know its trite to credit things like the benches clearing and all of that, but I did enjoy seeing some of the vets talking their shit. Pollock was incensed. Also loved Romy with a little attitude crossing the plate as well.

you just don't understand baseball quin

No one is moving the Sox out of Chicago…

You should've thrown $100 on Kelly walking the bases loaded on pointsbet...easiest $10 you'd ever made

This was Rick Hahn's call, Tony had nothing to do with this debacle. Tony La Russa managed one hundred years and never used an opener.

I just don’t get letting the worst pitcher on your team face the top of their order

The last thing JR wants to do is sell to someone that will immediately make his operation look deficient.

Joe Kelly almost certainly won't blow a lead tonight.

Can't wait for Kelly to open the game by walking the bases loaded.

I've had to watch Tony La Russa manage for two years, can you blame me?

Sucks that any time you have hope, Leury Garcia will quickly be up to bat

That is his first HR at home this season. Yikes.

My man!!!!!!! Yazzzzzzzzzzzz

lmao Len: "No pinch runner needed!"

I will never stop loving Grandal

Holy crap A bat drop

Grandal! Unretire

He’s still in the press conference talking about how much Tony means to him

Thrown out by Grandal. Now I've seen everything. That even tricked the ump.

Love me some Billy Hamilton!

Billy!

And sadly if it wasn't for the stupid decision of letting Joe Kelly pitch, it might've been enough.

Good thing we had Joe Kelly as the opener tonight…no way little ole Davis Martin could handle this Twins lineup. Putzes.

The Sox will need a triple or home run to score Grandal here.

Who's he banging?

Just landed on my flight only to see that Kelly did indeed walk the bases loaded.

This team gets out quicker than I can text something on my phone

At this point I’m convinced Hahn and Tony have been abducted by aliens. Neither has shown proof of life for a few days.

Teflon Hahn

This organization is garbage Kelly never should start a game ever

"lets open with our expensive 7.50 ERA relief pitcher" good one Hahn

And fuck off Matt Spiegel and the rest of the Score whores. Rick Hahn's strategery is even worse than Tony La Russa.

fuck joe kelly and rick hahn, damnit

Please god be true and end this reign of terror!

Okay. So I've completed the math. We're fucked.

Manager Terry Francona tells reporters that the team believes Plesac suffered the fracture in his last start, when he punched the ground in frustration after surrendering a home run to Jake Lamb (Twitter link via Mandy Bell of MLB.com). That’s the second time in his career that Plesac has sustained an injury while expressing frustration. He broke his right thumb last May when “aggressively” tearing off his shirt following a poor outing against the Twins. Thank you Jake!!!

He is the bean counter, dude. Nobody is on borrowed time

@ChiSox59 is a genius for starting tomorrow's game thread prior to today's outcome. Guarantees that we win tonight.

Is Daniel Palka for real? Is Matt Davidson for real? No, the answer is no. 1 month of hitting well isn't real. It's one month of hitting well.

Here is 9/2 since new threads down. We shall not be stopped! https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2022-09-02 https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=09/02/2022 Big start for Davis Martin. Go Sox. Charlotte double header.

I’ve been thinking about it since I put this thread up, and went back and forth, but honestly the only way I would want to see Jose Abreu go is if the front office went and a whole lot of other players went. I don’t think the people running this organization have one clue about winning in the postseason or building a postseason contender anymore, and I don’t see Jerry firing anyone…but if we somehow did clean house, I would want Jose gone because it’s the smart play and a talented manager and GM could flip it around in 2-3 years. If it’s going to be the same clown show in the front office and managing for the next two years, then yes I want Jose Abreu, the man who bleeds black and white, to finish his career with the White Sox .He’s been nothing but someone to celebrate on and off the field and selfishly I want him to have his entire career here. Unless he would have a chance to win a title. Then I would trade him wherever he wanted to go.

Why is it so hard for you to accept that the players like Tony lol? He's not the antichrist. They respect the guy and seem to like him as a person. Like I said, you're projecting your opinion of Tony on to the players.

So when does the “Frank Mendecino leave of absence due to medical concerns” begin?

Can you give me a single example of a player, interviewed about their manager or coach, who has EVER said something negative about them when they are away from the team? Come on. What are the players supposed to say? "Fuck Tony. We are glad he's sick and away from the team. Maybe now we can have fun and play good baseball." ??

I mean what are they gonna say? You stick a mic in their face and ask about Tony you really think the staff and players are gonna be like “Hope Tony is alright, but fuckina man he’s awful at his job. This is a blessing in disguise!”? I mean cmon.
