  1. Reached a high water mark for the last 3 days in a row going from 3 to 5 games over .500 by beating up on our own division at home in front of big crowds and flipping the run differential into positive territory. I'd call that a very very productive home stand ! Unfortunately it also included the Mune injury . But we're going to get a good look at Jacob Gonzalez ahead of schedule so there could be some mystery universal forces at work here where you have to yin and yang your way to an even bigger upside. Sacrifice now for the greater good later. That greater good could include Murakami, Teel, Braden Montgomery and Jacob Gonzalez and maybe a revitalized Schultz. I know it's asking a lot of the universe but it might be fate.
  2. Imagine high blood pressure or giving yourself an ulcer or heart attack over having a bad couple months of a baseball season. Smoke a doob bro.
  3. And I'll probably keep repeating this until I'm blue in the face but not only did Getz have to rebuild the team on the field he had to rebuild the whole foundation and front office of the organization which was a way bigger job than the rebuild that broke so many fans ,without any real monetary help from JR. JR is not the JR he was during the Hahn and KW era. He's in sell mode.He's preparing the team for his sons to inherit it and then sell them. He is in no way, shape, or form going to give out contracts that require massive financial obligation unless Ishbia agrees to pick up the slack. Despite the rumors that White Sox Dave put out about a little birdie telling him that Ishbia had sometimes to do with the Murakami signing, I doubt that's true. But if it is it's nice to dream that the Sox can resign Mune but ATM I still think there's a greater than 50% chance the Sox won't be able to resign him before he goes to Free Agency. And the only reason I'm responding to your post is because I just said the term "pulling on the same rope" to describe what Getz has created in one of my rants about fans need to start realizing that the last 3 years was a REBUILD. The same fans that supported the losing because it was a rebuild were too BROKEN from the failure of the 1st rebuild that they couldn't get behind the 2nd one because it was too soon . They were still supposed to be contending because Hahn talked about multiple parades and making it last not rebuilding. But they never actually made any effort to rebuild the foundation or culture because they were the foundation and they created the culture. Face facts you were hoodwinked. I have . It sucks, it really does and JR is still the owner and it's a worse version of JR now. But there's zero reasons to keep taking out your mistrust of the organization on the current GM. Sit back, relax and strap it down or STAND UP ! Describing what you have as some kind of PTSD is an insult to Soldiers who fought for our country who actually have it. Stop being so soft and cinch it up and hunker down. We're back on the roller coaster but at least it has stopped it's descent ! Enjoy the ride !
  4. Romo killing LHP or did you mean RHP ? I mean he only has 13 PA against LHP and is officially 1 for 9 which was a HR and 4 walks so his OBP and OPS looks good but its a very small sample with just 1 hit.
  5. Tristan Peters 4 multi-hit games in a row. go-ahead RBI Colson HR Jacob Gonzalez 1st MLB hit Burke 5.1 IP 3H, 1R, 2BB, 6K Chris Murphy shakey with 3 walks in 1.1 inning 0 R Eisert .1 IP, 1 K (W) Hudson 1.1 IP, 1 H , 0R, 1K Tyler Davis .2 IP 0's across the board , (S) 1st one Sox Win ! 2-1 both runs coming in the 7th inning.
  6. The Rate is a launching pad too. Maybe not to the extend that Charlotte's park is but I hope he feels at home very quickly !
  7. I was doing some research on Japanese good luck objects now that Murakami is on the bench. So I found an article https://japan-avenue.com/blogs/japan/japanese-good-luck-charm?srsltid=AfmBOoqGQ58oWuvpeDZYVIlklkjNZe_CgCVTVGc6xypepwzSU3ZgoCa6 After perusing them one finally caught my eye , Inu Hariko, the loyal dog figurine who watches over the family. Murakami's good buddy Vargas often brings barking into the dugout and clubhouse and the Sox also promote Dog Days. They are cute like a lot of anime stuff is cute. Would be cool to see a few of them hanging in the dugout or clubhouse. Let's go Boyer you need more than bidets to make Muni feel at home here in Chicago. Also for the cat lovers among us there is Maneki Neko, also a cute anime looking figurine.
  8. Plus 10D hit a 2B and HR yesterday so maybe it carries over while he's feeling good.
  9. How very kind of you . Gracias amigo. I took my creative writing classes long ago very seriously.😉
  10. I never read comics very much growing up. I didn't have money. I'll take a wild guess and say Spider-Man
  11. A brief retrospective on TA.
  12. Nah Imma do my thang. I'm supposed to eat s%*# through years of a lot of people pretending this isn't a rebuild just like the 1st rebuild was but somehow it wasn't to you and some others stuck in the past ? f*** that. Being right is being right because others were wrong and don't like hearing about it and want to keep suppressing the truth . Freedom baby it's a wonderful thing. Why you keep putting me in your mouth ? Everybody you're supporting makes fun of you and your posting style for years and I'd stick up for you. You want me to admit I'm wrong ? Fine I was wrong for ever sticking up for you. But I still like Greg and WB Tra La La La and others who are the butt of jokes around here. That's what immature is, attacking those who won't fight back. God Bless America ! I guess it's easy to be a Fascist in return for fake online comrades.
  13. Because in spite of JR they are building it back up. Isn't that what you want ? I have no idea how it will end but if the goal is a World Championship with the current owner and current players it's likely not to end well. But in the meantime I'll be happy with progress against all odds. Money doesn't solve everything ask the Mets. You will be much happier with Ishbia and my guess is since even with money you still need a solid foundation and a pipeline of talent. That's what Getz is trying to accomplish as do those who believe in the new White Sox way that he hired. There's a lot of pulling on the same rope. Welcome to the 21st century . Hard to believe you actually support that old regime that could not adapt to modern baseball. There's a lot of culture building and likeable young people doing a helluva job built on hard work and a positive outlook. I'm sorry all the fans can't understand that and continue to live in the past. But it's not just Bobbleheads that bring fans to the park. Keep spitting into the winds of change.
  14. @Autumn Dreamin will be proud of you for posting that. Big Quero fan.
  15. I love this story and had never heard it before so thanks for sharing it.
  16. To get as many AB's as possible against the majority of starting pitchers. That's all we really need him for now. Give him a lot of AB's and see if he can show his bat off. This doesn't mean he wont get time at DH or other positions occasionally. They want to put call ups in a position to succeed but since they were forced to call him up they will make it easier on him by just letting him concentrate on hitting and staying mostly at 1 position.
  17. I just added more to my previous post about it but I just learned this. The phrase originates from the stage. Traditional three-walled sets have an invisible "fourth wall" facing the audience. When an actor speaks directly to the crowd or addresses the camera, they are "breaking" that invisible boundary. [1]
  18. Breaking the 4th wall is a term used to describe how movie characters talk to the audience like they know its a movie usually in comedies whereas most movies are just stories. Deadpool had excessive use of breaking the 4th wall and Ferris Bueller famously did it and made "breaking the 4th wall" come into pop culture vernacular. It's funny but I originally wrote that post and put I will explain this pop culture reference if necessary since I had no idea what GLP1 was when Wegner referenced it. I figured Breaking the 4th wall was more well known than GLP1.
  19. Some people can handle success others become idiots. It's a story as old as time. And it's likely they were idiots to start with .
