As always reading game threads after a win is hilarious. Go Sox. They’re winning the division and getting the 2 seed. Will managed a great game tonight.

Doomers, panicans, optimists and everybody betwixt - do the Sox make the playoffs? (8/25/2026 poll)
The Sox last 10 are four vs Detroit who has thrown in the towel. Three at KC. Currently playing frisky but we’ll see in a month and three vs the Rockies who are shitshow A or shitshow B to the Angels A. That’s a 7-3 or 8-2 run to the division title after getting one at Cleveland to secure the tie-breaker. Division champs and 2 seed. Book it! LFG.

Magic Number
Is the magic number to clinch a playoff spot 24? It seems to me the Rangers are the team to compute that against and we hold the tie-breaker against them.

8/25 White Sox vs Rangers: Kay vs DeGrom 6:40 PM
I was referencing game 2 of the Cubs series. It’s a silly stat that carries little meaning.

Example. Taylor comes in with two on and 0 outs in the 7th in a one run game. Gets the first two out. Gives up a single to score the tying run. Blown save per the stats. Yet he was never going to be the pitcher in the 9th to get the save even had he not given up the game tying run which wasn’t his runner anyway. Flawed stat.

And they didn’t.

Apropos to nothing the Cubs just got walked off with 2 outs in the 9th. Damn.

Somebody on Twitter said Benintendi. No idea how reliable the poster was.- THATS ANOTHER WALK OFF WHITE SOX WINNER
I thought Friday’s was better but that may have been DJ’s, “Now let’s celebrate! Let’s jump up and down! I love it!” The shot at Yan made me giggle.- Magic Number
Although this would have been perfectly acceptable for today. My youngest noticed Peters’ birthday is February 29 and speculated that’s why he chose #29.- 8/23 White Sox vs Mets: Newcomb vs McLean
Hagen Smith sounds a bit like Nuke LaLoosh. 😂- 8/23 White Sox vs Mets: Newcomb vs McLean
Hagen Smith gets a kudos as well. He was electric.- 8/23 White Sox vs Mets: Newcomb vs McLean
Peters has three walk offs, yes. Home opener. Walk vs Yankees. Today.- 8/23 White Sox vs Mets: Newcomb vs McLean
What’s the magic number to the post-season? Is it basically the same as winning the division? I suppose I could figure it out myself. I know how to add. 🤦- 8/23 White Sox vs Mets: Newcomb vs McLean
If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle. Won the series. That’s not an if. That’s a fact.- 8/23 White Sox vs Mets: Newcomb vs McLean
I know you’re making a joke but the easy answer is don’t be out. They’re tough-minded. Not the best team but it sure seems like they enjoy playing for each other and they compete like crazy. That’s good enough for me.- 8/23 White Sox vs Mets: Newcomb vs McLean
Im really just trying to enjoy the season. It’s been very joyful, but I’m not sure I can last another month. 😂- 8/23 White Sox vs Mets: Newcomb vs McLean
Taylor be Taylor please!- 8/23 White Sox vs Mets: Newcomb vs McLean
How the hell do you hit it. - 8/24 White Sox vs Rangers: Urquidy vs Rocker 6:40 PM
