Colome's Hat

Lol. I had therapy at 1pm ET and spent a fair amount of my session talking about my anxiety with the White Sox and how about how watching their recent poor play was making me feel down. I didn't check my phone till the session ended and I was like holy shit the White Sox are winning by a lot. Bottom line: Therapy works. What a breakthrough.

Ah man. I was at the blackout game with my dad. It was the best baseball game I've ever attended. It's also something that every fathers day and every time it's my dad's birthday, I rewatch the game as baseball was something we shared since I was like 8. I was also at the Alexi grand slam game the day before (used my Jewish privileges of it being the high holidays to get me out of classes that day). I was 19 years old and a sophomore in college. I am now 32 and living in NYC. Actor, playwright and an educator. Let's fucking do this!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of my fondest recent baseball memories are the summer of 2012 when I moved to London. I remember waking up in a hostel and because of the time difference, was able to catch the end of the a game against KC which we took in extra innings. The joy of the Sox being in first place at the time and me being able to follow them in London and being able to introduce some of my british mates to baseball (it didn't go well, my flatmate told me that Alexi Ramirez was a terrible player because he was only batting in the .270s) was pretty damn awesome. Did the White Sox blow it by the end? Yeah and it was heartbreaking, especially as the team that overtook them in the division went to the World Series. Still I don't consider all the time spent watching games in the summer of 2012 from a foreign country to be a waste of time, even if it did end in heartbreak.

Would that make you happy?

Why won't they get a full 2022 out of Kopech? What they are doing with Kopech is exactly what they did with Chris Sale minus the extra year as a reliever. Look at Sale's 2011 innings pitched. Kopech is going to get pretty close to what Sale did. There is no reason Kopech can't go 180 innings next year

When the White Sox win teh world series, who will you credit? I am asking you personally. Since you can see into the future.

If Leury homers, retires his number

Dallas outfield special baby!

Who in teh american league is manager of the year? Maybe Cora but they likely give it to TLR, especially given the injuries.

I disagree. I don;t think we are in first place with another manager. The amount of injuries that have happened, I'm not sure another manager would have been to get that out of these guys in the first half. Even if it's something as simple as getting guys into the outfield who had never played before. TLR will win manager of the year pretty easily.

TLR might want to hand it off to Cairo though. Who knows.

Cairo is legitimately someone who is being pegged as being a future manager. He might even be hired this offseason. They have in house option. I do think TLR's legacy here this time around depends on this October.

That was a bizarre inning. Maybe teh most bizarre inning I've seen in quite some time.

Is anything I said disputable? It's the best he's looked since that start against Oakland at home. Nowhere did I say he pitched great or even that good. Serviceable.

This is the best Dallas looked since his Oakland start. I'll take it.

Dude can't buy a strike

If they spend money in the offseason, they'll be a threat next year.

33-27 post ASB

Yoan trying to stretch that is so stupid. He could have gotten hurt and also cost us a run.

Terrific play by Cesar but that's why I want the Sox to score a bunch of runs and the rain to come back. Was holding my breath.

Good. I honestly don't want this going past 5. It's recipe for disaster in terms of guys getting hurt.

If the Sox put up a huge crooked number and it stays that way through 5, would this be an official game or would it be suspended?

Man, this is super ominous. Maybe it's just because I read The Mist but I fully expect something to be coming out of that mist in the fifth inning.

I don't know. Fegan kind of did a deep dive into Kimbrel's outings with the Sox. These runs have been on bizarre occurrences. The home run hit at Wrigley was not hit hard enough to be anything other than a routine fly ball. The ground ball in Toronto should never have even been a hit. Luis also misplayed that ball off the bat against Boston. Yeah it's a tough play but Luis is a gold glove outfielder. He needs to be able to make that. And the HBP last night and the ground ball. Part of me wonders if the Cubs overused him before he came to the Sox. He did look really good in his first two outings. He has looked good as well in Oakland and also that save in Toronto. I guess we will see in teh final week.

TBH, I kind of feel this way. Two wins in a row and fuck what the Tribe does.
