South Side Hit Men

Pregaming at the Revolution Brew Pub. While I hope pregame Thunderstruck is a permanent casualty of COVID, because well, 15 years and AC/DC, Revolution’s imperial stout Thundertaker is very good. Calle, a sippy cup sweet Hazy Citrus Line pour. Thundertaker, a Barrel Aged Imperial Rye Stout. As close as I’ll get to the Revolution tap room in Comiskey Park II this season, or the Goose Island section for that matter. Go White Sox!

Would be wise to hear the words of Coach Norman Dale. Let’s celebrate those who choose to commit, work and sacrifice THIS season, for pennies on the dollar. We can celebrate future teams and players, if they choose and are able to return down the road, when we cross that path. Hopefully health, mental and physical, allows Koepch to return, if he so chooses. He did ok (5.02 ERA) in the four games he appeared in.

This post aged well.

As long as they won't be playing them in the god damned Los Angeles Coliseum, sounds great to me. Have this pennant!

Not a gotcha, just stating your take that Grandal somehow better defensively is not widely shared. PS - He's not better offensively this year either.

Screw the four letter network. It's absolute trash.

Money Mark @MarkMyWords35 Sep 14 Do you see any hope in the Sox being able to keep James McCann by resigning him in the offseason? Or should we consider this last stretch/playoffs as his swan song in a Sox uniform? Steve Stone @stevestone Replying to m@MarkMyWords35 There is alway a chance. He is the best catcher we have in the organization so it’s a definite maybe

Wrong, but thanks for playing today.

LH Batter Dyson the only one doing something this inning. Colome not as sharp in multi-inning appearances, let's hope he can buckle down and close it out.

Nice play there. Lefty may send them down 1-2-3. Prove me wrong Dyson.

Suck it, Twin b****es!!!

Unintentional intentional walk to face Abreu?! Here comes Romo, as in, wait for it..... Shlomo

Degenerate.

Sad, but still in it.

My like for Parrot has increased after that at bat, well done!

Bad, but thankfully not Kirby Puckett bad.

Nice!

Almost got tossed arguing a terrible call, Rocco came out to cool things down. Next pitch, an angry Donaldson hit a home run, as he was crossing home he swiped a bunch of dirt on home plate, and then swiped a bunch more after he was tossed.

I liked it, would have liked a Sox doing it outside of a playoff game.

For two seconds, but not before I replied. Another good inning for Lopez, hope he has turned the corner!

We should be kinder to one another, and ourselves. Win or lose. Like the early start by Lopez, a second straight good outing as of now.
