Uh oh. 2-6 is close to a horrible start. Will our skipper set the tone early and freak out after this one?

I don't know how to link social media site X but it's all over there. They interviewed people who said if you denied giving the 40 they flattened tires, etc. The cash was just to get off the Ryan exit. Pretty intense stuff. They had some video. The 40 bucks was like a toll to be allowed to get near the parking lots. Cops came on one video and the thugs scattered. If it's true it's just another reason for fans not to venture to any games with a team this rotten.

At 2-5 the new manager has to be concerned. Got to win next game vs detroit and show we can win four of every nine. 4-5 of every nine would mean a decent season. Crucial stretch here to determine whether we just stink or royally stink.

Did you guys see that item on Twitter (X) on some group of thugs charging 40 bucks a car as u exited the dan ryan? They better get that in check before people get scared. Not sure how old the Tweet was but the gist was guys who looked like parking attendants were demanding 40 bucks a car.

Oops 2-5 is starting a downward spiral trend. New manager must figure something out. Before you know it we could be 2-10 or something stupid like that. Sox need to win game two of this series.

Jankowski seems like a better name for a hockey player. Jankowski ... a shot and a goal!

Tiny crowd. Did the game start late? Delayed? I see our bats were quiet. 2-4 not a bad homestand considering the roster. Should be interesting to see if we have a bad roadtrip.

Seems to me the Sox need to get rid of this Schriffen and add somebody who knows the franchise and city better.

The Sox and Bears both belong in Arlington or Naperville. Bears have all this land in Arlington to build a Cowboys-like compound. The Sox need to get out of a city with major major problems and head to suburbia. Go in with the Bears for sure.

Would be neat if Sheets makes it big. I assume he's making a good salary at least. I don't hate Sheets or Vaughn and I liked Burger. Seemed to me Sheets, Vaughn and Burger all need(ed) a change of scenery.

I just watched the game highlights on mlb. Surprised they have that feature for free. Looks like Sox played OK but the bullpen was a problem. These starting pitchers are prolly going to really excel when it gets warm out.

Red Sox love those tall White Sox lefty pitchers. If we're ever going to sniff a pennant again like in 05 which now looks like lightning in a bottle flukish type year we're gonna win with players like the Royals had last year minus the two stars (Salv Perez, Witt). With the Sox refusing to pay the going rate for stars, this is all futile folks. Sox may flirt with .500 and a playoff spot or two but no pennants.

He's early choice for manager of the year. Normally we get slugged by Central Division teams and normally we lose at home. Not this year.

What a difference a manager is making. The Sox are killing a Central Division team. At home where the Sox have reeked much the past few seasons. Looks like Sox finally got a manager. Beni, by the way, now that he's lifting and pulling the past two seasons is a bonifide 20 to 25 homer guy. Not that I approve of lift and pull but he's gotten to the point he could start for about any team in the league. Sox with this pitching might be a .500 team this year because of this manager.

I always feel for the fans who go on days we get shut out. I know when I used to go to games as a kid and teen a shutout was depressing stuff. Kids want to see the exploding scoreboard go off.

Can you imagine if this was Game One of the series? We'd have been very negative with the 2-hit shutout loss. Instead game three Sunday will be very interesting if we can win the series.

I was complaining about the Yankee game and lamenting baseball being glorified home run derby. Oops, then there's our Sox game: 0-0 thriller.

Nice to see the manager use his closer when he needed the outs earlier in the game. Venables masterful skipper?

Opener could not have gone better. Domination. Embarrasment (of a bad Angels team). Sox new manager will finally lead the way.

Sosa could become a fan favorite. OMG winning changes everything.

Beni learned how to lift and pull last season. He's a real big leaguer now. Looks like a new manager makes all the difference. Sox could build on this rout. Maybe we're as good as some of the middle to lower echelon teams now. HR Beni.

We should scrap that question this season. Just 'cause. Pitchers only go five or six max and we gotta accept it.

I've got to break the habit of expecting the Sox to lose. Great performance so far today. Sean Burke one of our rare draft picks to be special.?

You know, we might actually win this game. They have White Sox on their roster. Please let us know how many fans are really at the game. It can't be over 30,000 can it? Southsiders are not dumb. But the Sox might win this game and even the series. The Angels reek. p.s. I predict we are 10-30 after 40 games, but Sox might win the opener folks. I'd consider betting large on Chicago.

In my world friends do favors friends for a small token. Sorry if we are enemies not friends here. I never disputed being lazy.
