I feel defeated, I’m hungover as s%*#, the drive home from Cleveland this morning sucked ass. And this team fuckin rocked. By far the 2nd best season of my life. All I’ve done the last 3 seasons is whine about this organization and this fuckin team breathed life back into me as a Sox fan. Went to 20+ games including 2 playoff games, 5 different cities to see them play. These last 3 games sucked but I love this fuckin group.

The only good thing about that drive is that you are not longer in Cleveland.

You missed the point. Maybe read the room, see it's an appreciation post, and save it?

This happened, 4 days ago. The rest is history

Sports are supposed to be fun, this season was fun, and the arrow for the team is pointing up. I’m really not sure it’s any more complicated or serious than that.

I thought when Colson led off the inning being hit by a pitch Doyle would bunt him over to second. Instead of bunting he struck out. If he would have bunted Sam would have drove him home with the single.

Super bummed, pissed it was the Guardians and that f*** JRam, but still proud of this team doing the unexpected and pulling as all with them

Everyone for the most part held up the truce, thank you to the entire board for making an effort with this. Hopefully next season we can have a similar truce for a similar reason, but until then everyone go ahead and start arguing to your lil hearts content

I hope shitting in the one positive thread gives you the emotional boost you’re looking for.

And I would like to see him brought back in 2027. That is all.

Haven’t seen this type of dominance in about 17 hours

Good comments. I wished our hitters would have adjusted, and I wonder what adjustments if any were suggested by our coaching staff. 21 strike outs are utterly unacceptable and in game adjustments were a must. Sprinkle some small ball, take some pitches, cut down on 2 strike swings, bunt for example. Give take signs to undisciplined hitters in 3-1 counts.

While I am deeply hurting, it was a truly magical season and more fun than anytime since 2005. I am so proud of them and so grateful for this year, I'm just hurting right now.

What he said about TA had some ugly connotations. And I'll leave it at that.

Its the kind of energy that trash like Jose Ramirez breeds on a baseball team he leads. That dude has the biggest ego I have seen for being on a team that is consistently shown that they just aren't that good in the playoffs. Can't wait to see his dumb ass "how did this happen" face after they get destroyed by TB.

Twas a very fun season that vastly exceeded my expectations in numerous ways. Had you told me in February that they'd be in contention for the division until they very last series of the season, make the playoffs, win a round, and be on the brink of the ALCS I would've taken it 100 times out of 100....with that being said, going out how they did (to Cleveland of all teams) was certainly a gut punch and their weaknesses got very exposed in those losses. But for a team that wasn't supposed to be here at all, I'll take it.

105 wRC+ in first half. 105 wRC+ in second half. Amazing job by the league to figure out the white Sox.

One of the guys I was hanging out with at the bar last night never saw 2005, which blew my mind and made me feel old as hell. But listening to how much he loved this team.... this is different than 2021. It's more sustainable and we have a better front office. I think this team truly showed the best of us as human beings. Cannot wait for next year.

Wherever this kid goes, he hits, and he hits HARD. He's got 3 doubles and a triple in 22 ABs at AFL. 1.007 OPS. Had a 140 wRC+ in AA as a 20 year old. 37 HR in 132 games. This guy is going to be an absolute star. He's got 40 HR potential. The only question is where will he play. He's faster than expected and is playing CF in the AFL. I believe his home to 1st time he got clocked at recently would put him at 55-60 grade speed. Would be awesome if he could play a good CF. I'm guessing we see him at 3rd or in the corner. With his speed and arm he's got potential to be a plus fielder at the corner.

Pope Leo is having surgery this week to have a nodule removed from one of his lungs. I will be praying that everything goes well.

What do you mean by being black and not hide it?

Because he hates giving long term deals to pitchers

Yes, let's not lose sight of who the real enemy is in all this......Justin Ishbia.

Amazing that in our elimination game the Sox pitching was great. That was a hall of fame home run Ramirez hit....cannot blame Burke at all for that one.

People, for some reason, think what the Sox did towards the end of the year was this brand new strategy they will do forever instead of something they had to do because of current personal.

Let’s not get this thread locked. It’s one of the few pure sources of fun here, at least for some of us

Obviously this is fake news from the fake media. That's why Trump needs to deploy troops in Chicago. That's clearly the only way to stop the thousands of murders a day happening and being covered up by the corrupt Democracts in charge.

He said that TA was disrespecting the game. Whatever you think of TA, it's very obvious what some of this is about. Apparently he apologized afterwords but still.....

The more I read about this guy, the more upset I get. His same philosophy got the Twins hitting coaches fired after a similar late season collapse in 2024. Good pitching will exploit his philosophy. Renteria was fired after a playoffs....Shomon can move on too. To make no adjustments after a 19 strike out performance so that you top that with a 21K performance two games later is enough to see.

f*** you Kyyle

If you would have told me that our pitching would hold Cleveland to two runs, I would feel good about the Sox chance of winning. I’m shocked that Sox hitters had so much trouble making any contact.

I think they'll be remembered as a very fun team in a growth year who ran out of gas at the end and pressed.

Chicago set record for tourist spending in 2025, Choose Chicago tourism bureau says - CBS Chicago 56.8 million visitors in 2025. The world likes us, they really, really like us.

5 plays that killed the Sox and 5 managerial decisions that hurt: 1- Meidroth striking out in game 3 2- BMontgomery not catching double in game 4 3 - Mune striking out bases loaded game 5 4- BMontgomery striking out in game 4 with bases loaded 5- Vargas lining out in game 3 with bases loaded Decisions: 1- going with Hudson in game 3 2- playing Benintendi in game 5 3- going to Kay in game 4 up 1 4- keeping Acuna on postseason roster 5- pulling Newcomb in game 3

And set the record for strike outs in a playoff game, twice.

What is the Bulls training staff up to?

776 runs

I have your posts on ignore because of your utter failure to engage in a discussion in a rational manner even once. I also didn't join Soxtalk to race to the bottom and make petty personal insults to people who disagree with me on any topic. But, I have to make an exception here to stand up for myself. You're a fucking lying idiot who does nothing but launch personal attacks that aren't based on reality. I'm not even going to waste my time responding point by point to your nonsense because what you spout about other people is just total bullshit. A few months ago, you went after me for saying that I took my kids to the Fundamental area. That shows everyone how much of a fucking lowlife you are. Going after my family life because you don't like my opinion about stadiums? Really? FUCKING IMBECILE. You think you're more of a Sox fan than others because of some idiotic idea that your more "South Side" than others? What a sad, warped world view you have. Stop waving your dick about your South Side street cred, nobody give a s%*#....seriously there are zero posters who are impressed by this. In fact, it just make you look pathetic to others reading this thread. Look around. Nobody...and I mean NOBODY here likes your tired schtick. And yet, you continue to come here to take a steaming dump on this thread over and over again because stadium news hurts your feelings and makes you want to lash out at everyone. Fucking crybaby. I'm sure your response to this is just to put a laugh emoji. Sorry to break it to you, but that is not a "sick burn", it just shows how much of a fucking idiotic coward you are. I take great joy in seeing how other posters take you down in epic fashion over and over again. Other posters should (and have) voiced their opinion that they'd rather the Sox stay at Rate Field, or at least at 35th St. That's a legitimate difference of opinion that fans can have. There are pros and cons to each of the stadium options the Sox could take after 2029. Each site has benefits and drawbacks. But you're not interested in any of that. In fact, for other people who want the Sox to stay at 35th St over the South Loop, you're just an embarrassment to their side of the issue who drowns out legitimate concerns about the South Loop option with comically unhinged tantrums. Okay, everyone - carry on. Go Sox and hopefully we can raise some pennant flags before this team moves to Railyards Field in 7 or 8 years.

Ironically, this thread would be many pages shorter and probably slipping to the 2nd page of the forum more often if it weren't for the almost-comically unhinged tirades and rants which results in many posters calling out the nonsense. The thought has crossed my mind that he's just trolling us and that this is all an act. Almost certainly not, but that would be some genius-level trolling if it were an act.

They can learn a lot from us

People might say well Schwarber is a bunch too, sure but he kills the pitches that he's supposed to. Mune misses pitches down the middle

Hopefully they read this during their offseason: f*** you you chokers

Key words: "for the time being." Gonna be grateful to wake up tomorrow morning, head over to Casey's for a large coffee and a couple of donuts, and start looking forward to next season!

Hawk would talk about the sphincter factor. The stars rise to the occasion while the also-rans mess theit trousers .

Such a strange, unlikeable team. Hope the Rays make quick work of them.

They had THREE games to win. Not just tonight. Even halfway decent pitching wins you one of those two games at home and you don't have to go into the opposing team's stadium after losing all momentum and win an elimination game. Yeah the offense sucked tonight but blaming them for a complete pitching collapse at home when you had a series win at your fingertips is just mind boggling.

Fedde saw the bright lights and said "let me show you what a KBO MVP does."

And scared to go downtown.
