AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER
Great win. Eloy. Abreu. Giolito. McCann, etc. Of course Tim. ... And Jose, Mr. RBI. ... Can we finally all agree Jose Abreu is a stud and deserves any money the White Sox are paying him? It's not our money and the man brings it to the ballpark every day. He's passing all tests, including the eye test AGAIN. Great win. I like a 4-game sweep. That's almost impossible if you look at past Sox results in four-game series. Ricky might be our manager a long time if he keeps this up. I'd say we've learned two things so far this season thus shouldn't stress about these things in gamethreads: Just take a deep breath and realize a.) this team is going to hit even if it is not hitting at a particular time in a game and b.) Abreu is a very very good ballplayer and doesn't deserve scorn and c.) RR may make some boneheaded decisions but his ability to communicate with the Spanish speaking ballplayers is important. GO SOX.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
Seems to me this is an excellent post. Our country has a lot of work to do and I doubt we will survive as a nation because there is no middle ground as you say, and most people don't even want a middle ground or would consider compromise on medical, education and social issues, all three.

8-20 GT: Tigers @ Sox (1:10pm)
McCann has been excellent, but Grandal is a fine addition. I'll enjoy both hopefully then if we lose McCann, so be it. Collins still is a prospect that passes the eye test, granted nothing else so far. But it's possible he's good, too.

8-19 GT: Tigers @ Sox
These types of mistakes amaze me. Once you go on the air for a game you have to turn on your announcer persona and just not even consider a cuss word or slur word. What is he talking about anyway? He seemed to be referring to Kansas City. If we weren't in cancel culture I'd suspend him a month and bring him back, but the way things are now, he's done. He will never work a sporting event again.

Jose baby! I worship that man in a non biblical way. That was pure magic. Sox lead, 4-3.

OMG. Porn? Racial slurs? This could be national news. You could call the media outlets nationally or locally. Not good.

Not surprising the country can't simply tell the truth about how many cases of corona there are out there. Sad.

And I'm all for protecting Mt. Rushmore if the mob tries to blow it up.

I never acted like you do about Abreu in regard to Rios. I despised Rios but that was that season he hit about .150 for a long stretch. Abreu has done nothing to incur wrath except maybe the chewing of tobacco. His traditional numbers are always good; his defense actually is OK (he's not a total sieve over there). Rios I jumped on because of his total ineptitude. I think I did the same to Dunn when he was under .200 most of the season. Abreu's numbers are good. All that said ... nice win tonight. Tim Anderson and Cease stars of game.

I love how people remember my takes on here. It takes a special person to be cited a lot.

Great at bat by Mendick. Nice to see a guy give the team exactly what Sox needed. An elevated fly ball. Sac fly.

Bummer, Jose misses a couple cookies en route to trying for a 4-hit game. I love me some Jose.

Mendick vs Madrigal
Mendick is good to have around with Leury out. Obviously Madrigal gets to play every day when he's healthy.

2020 Catch-All
I care about our big cities turning into boarded up war zones. Sorry if nobody else does. I thought it was an interesting take by a guy who lives in NYC and owns a business there. My bad.

It was written by a guy who owns a popular comedy club in NYC. Did u read it? Very very interesting and troubling.
