You are on my SoxTalk Mt Rushmore (along with tray, chitownsportsfan, & Harold's Leg Lift). I hand out trophies like candy to that foursome.

Tbf, he's started rage-posting about the "Chicago Hockey Team" (what he calls the Blackhawks) in another part of the board, so he has been diversifying his outrage lately from just the White Sox.

Keuchel would give us a Crochet-Bummer-Keuchel lefty trio out of the pen. Hopefully that’s something he’s good at, given he’s best his first time through the order.

Tony says he was comfortable using Hendriks for that many pitches because he has Kimbrel for tomorrow, so that seems to confirm Kimbrel gets the 9th.

Didn’t the broadcast say Kimbrel was unavailable?

La Russa’s a genuis.

Tony, throw us a curveball and warm up Kimbrel. edit: never mind, he’s unavailable

Yes, the guy has an incredible personality that naturally draws the whole locker room to him. If you ever see a team he played for in the clubhouse, on the plane, at the hotel...he was always the epicenter that everyone else would be organically drawn to. Social mastermind.

That 47-115 Detroit team started off 8-4. I remember all the panic here in April.

I can’t imagine Lamb makes the playoff roster.

A vanity search of his tweets will reveal every tweet he’s made about La Russa the past 12 months has been negative, except for one complimenting him for wearing a mask. He just doesn’t like him. He was never voting La Russa and it’s disingenuous of him to pretend it was a consideration. edit: There’s a handful of replies pointing out he’s being selective in what he’s seeing (omitted the hug afterwards) and what Tony was yelling at him for (not looking over to the bench).

They are giving Lamb every opportunity but they will have to Eaton him at some point.

Frank being essentially a non-player for 2005 was the one thing that always saddened me about that season. His career was built to finally, at long last, climax as a factor on a Word Series team that year.

I'd imagine so. Network executives love Gordon because of his infectious charisma and the fact many females consider him the sexiest White Sox ever. He helps executives tap into that demographic. He's also a loyal bro with a personality that's beloved in every clubhouse he's been in.

There was a page's worth of posts yesterday of how TLR was taking a nap in the dugout during Vlad's at-bat. Then the gif comes out of him fuming and now he's apeshit and too over the top. This man just has a cosmic effect of living in people's heads -- they're turning him into a legend without even knowing it.

This team will win the World Series. I have never wavered on that. Tony and Jerry will be the final parade car arriving at Wacker and LaSalle to a hurricane of confetti.

White Sox are in wayyyyyy better shape than the Black Hawks.

The broadcast just showed a graphic reading “Scott Podsednik reacts to game after White Sox 3rd straight loss” even though there’s only 1 Out.

While we might lose the game, I like the in-game growth Tony showed by walking Vlad in the 8th.

Actually he fears Albert Pujols more.

Thank you for thinking like a manager, not a fan.

The broadcast just cut to Ron nodding his head

That is a Gold Glove play

Chicago-Milwaukee World Series would be epic. The writer has us losing, due to the loss of Goodwin's at-bats without a DH:

Yeah, fuck World Series-winning Ozzie for his Sunday lineups in '05. I'm sure that extra rest had nothing to do with the team going 11-1 in the postseason. Should've focused more on the fans, dammit. And fuck La Russa too for keeping his team fresh. Not like he knows anything about winning 3 World Series and 6 pennants. And fuck La Russa again for not playing TA against the professional MLB trainers' recommendation. Reinsdorf needs to wake up. Stop hiring these bums like Ozzie and La Russa, and look at the talent pool we have on SoxTalk.
