I mean, I never heard anybody say, 'I'm going to Cleveland on vacation"
Anybody got any good stories from Jacob's field?(f*** Flo) https://www.soxtalk.com/forums/topic/113386-white-sox-vs-guardians-820-510pm-cdt-cueto-vs-bieber/ I went to the 8/20/2022 game. We won. Johnny Cueto pitched a 5 hit 8.2 inning gem. Grandal got hurt on one of the worst sends of all time(more on that in a minute). Game had a long delay to start. So I was drinking and ranting about the team to my dad. I hated that 2022 team with a passion, and it's when I started creeping on this board. Felt like baseball purgatory. Anyway, a cleveland lady turns around and says "we're pretty miserable too. At least your team doesn't let all their good players walk. We never pay anybody." Then she went on a rant of her own. Rather than start a dumb argument about who has it worse I said, "fans of any team from the AL central are probably pretty miserable." Game was a pitchers duel. We were winning 1-0 in the 7th and Grandal hits a lead off double. We were all wondering why no pinch runner? Andrus gets a base hit and they send Grandal and we are already laughing at this point. Then he's out by a mile and goes down. There were two random White Sox fans sitting next to us and we were all just dying laughing. Because that play pretty much summed up the 2022 White Sox and all you could do was laugh or cry. Then I noticed all the cleveland fans had turned around and were gaping at us like we were monsters who celebrate our player getting hurt. But that one chick from earlier gave me a smile and a nod and said I see why you were complaining. So yeah, there might be some cleveland fans who think we are worse than yankees fans and it's partly my fault and I apologize haha. Anyway, we already had some terrible baserunning plays this series so we got that out of the way. Let's get Burke motivated by the ghost of Johnny Cueto and have him pitch a gem tonight!

Guess we're doomed to never score again whenever Sam hits a lead off homer? Please prove me wrong boys lol- 7/1/2026 - Sox @ Orioles, 11:35 am CDT - Schultz v. Kremer
Get the rally started Sam!- 7/1/2026 - Sox @ Orioles, 11:35 am CDT - Schultz v. Kremer

This ump is so slow on the call I thought it was Jen Pawol 😄- Will Venable's Managing
Seems like Will is getting better at knowing when to take out the starter. Earlier in the year he probably would have let Burke pitch to Beavers- 06/29/2026 - Sox @ Baltimore, 5:35 pm CDT - Burke v. Baz
I have not. The only western ones I've been to are Arizona, Anaheim and Colorado. I'll get there eventually though. My husband always tries to plan our vacations around what ballparks we haven't been to yet. Glad to hear we still have some good ones to check off the list- 06/29/2026 - Sox @ Baltimore, 5:35 pm CDT - Burke v. Baz
Atlanta and Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is probably the coolest park but I put it number two because the team always sucks. It seemed like some of the people bought a ticket just to hang out in the outfield and gaze at the river rather than the game haha. Atlanta has an awesome parking setup and just great atmosphere. Best hot dog I've had at the ballpark too. Might be a little bias because Atlanta murdered the cubs when I went and Madrigal struck out a few times so it was extra fun haha- 06/29/2026 - Sox @ Baltimore, 5:35 pm CDT - Burke v. Baz
I was shocked that Ken Griffey Jr. is still the only guy to hit a homer off the B&O wall in right. And that was during the homerun derby. I couldn't believe that when I was there because that wall looks so close but I just looked it up and it's 440 feet so yeah, quite the illusion haha- 06/29/2026 - Sox @ Baltimore, 5:35 pm CDT - Burke v.

Been to 16 of the ballparks so far and I have Camden ranked #3 mostly because of the vibes. Also, it was hot as f*** when I went and they had free water everywhere and I even saw some ushers bringing free water to people in the stands. Our usher was giving out free baseball cards. Cool place- Sox go for sweep of KC: 1:10 CDT 6/28
Thought Beni ditched the wet noodle but I guess not lol- Sox go for sweep of KC: 1:10 CDT 6/28

Let's sweep these fucks! I fucking hate the royals and their fans. Went to a Sox game at Kauffman in 2023 with my husband and step daughter and got heckled the whole damn time by some frat boy douches saying we should be cubs fans since we are the right color and other bullshit like that. Then when the game was over, some 50 year old frat boy douche got right in my face and screamed White Sox suck and spit all over me. And this was a Wednesday day game in the rain haha. Not like anyone should have been that wasted. Unfortunately I was exhausted because we were driving back from our vacation so I didn't say much back. I did manage a shouldn't you be cardinals fans to the young douches and are the royals good? to the old douche. But what the f***? Does having mahomes just make that whole city insufferable or something?- Thoughts on selling high on Meidroth?
When he was called up last year, my husband noticed that he looks like Nathan from South Park (which makes Vasil Mimsy I guess) so I'll be sad for weird comedy reasons when they eventually get rid of him. But yeah, he strikes out too much and it seems like he might be bad at tagging people out- The Bullpen
I mean, you know you have issues when fucking Schriffdawg of all people was scared about Dominguez closing last night lol - At what point do we start to believe?
