I always liked the song. I've been in a cave for forty days Only a spark to light my way I wanna give out, I wanna give in This is our crime This is our sin But I still believe, I still believe Through the pain and through the grief Through the lives, through the storms Through the cries and through the wars Oh, I still believe Lie, lie, lie Lie, lie, lie Ooh I'm flat on my back out at sea Hopin' these waves don't cover me I'm turned and tossed upon the waves When the darkness comes I feel the grave But I still believe, I still believe Through the cold and through the heat Through the rain and through the tears Through the crowds and through the cheers Oh, I still believe Lie, lie, lie Oh-oh I'll march this road, I'll climb this hill Up on my knees if I have to I'll take my place up on this stage I'll wait 'til the end of time for you like everybody else Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh yeah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh I'm out on my own walkin' the streets I look at the faces that I meet I feel like I, like I want to go home What do I feel? What do I know? But I still believe, I still believe Through the shame and through the grief Through the heartache, through the tears Through the waiting, through the years For people like us in places like this We need all the hope that we can get Oh, I still believe Lie, lie, lie Oh, yeah yeah Lie, lie, lie

I'm sure it's right . I think they were 2 games over .500 after the ASG last year and combined with 2 games under .500 now gets you at .500 in the last 92. Might've been some games in the 46-46 that were pre ASG.

If you recall that play , the 3rd baseman went to 2nd base 1st to get the force out but Leury beat the throw and then the relay to 1st base still got Eloy after he half-assed it in a close game where 2 runners on might have been the difference.

You are a brave soul and an inspiration to all !

I included Katz because no one from management should be excluded. Besides that since I have always been among the more vocal re: everything Rodon, Katz should have had some input last year about how they were abusing him. I realize that when you are pitching so well that the temptation is great to let him just keep pitching. However he and the rest of whoever else they use to keep players healthy was not applied to Rodon last year and I have my doubts when the same people are handling Kopech .

This team is just horrible on the road. It's why I wanted the HFA last year so badly. I have no idea why a team could be so different on the road than at home but at this point maybe they need a hypnotist. Their heads are so screwed up. I never would have thought that Abreu musing about his retirement could actually make the whole team act as if they were ready to retire and get as many injuries as if they were old people running around out there. I'm not saying Abreu set some kind of tone with his comments because each player is responsible for their own attitude, but it has made me wonder. Other than that I will now join the chorus. Fuck Tony La LA LA LA LA Russa-land

I said it half jokingly and never thought that the banner would actually be changed. However since we seem to be a superstitious lot I would suggest our strength and conditioning guy and throw KW in there for good measure. Also might want to put the coaching staff in it, Super Joe, Katz and Boston and whoever the hell is the bench coach. Leury is going to play no matter what with all the injuries. After all that's why he's here but putting players in the banner is not my recommendation since at this point we need every player available and having the upper management and coaches in the banner will undoubtedly make the players better.

No more players in it. Having TLR in the banner will take care of Leury.

It will take a lot more than you. @Chicago White Sox tried it in the OP to start the game thread. Big fail on that one . Nice effort though.

And what month was it when they shit canned Eaton ? V V has been a project nothing more when they obtained him. Unfortunately he's a major league project instead of a minor league one.He'll probably get all the way through June to try to find a formula that works and he'll end up back in long relief.

I think it's time we had JR, TLR , Hahn and Southpaw in the banner. Southpaw is our only lefty. See what I mean ! The banner is the jinx. Everyone in it is either hurt or playing poorly.

Even the guys Soxtalk wanted are getting seriously hurt. I think it's all our fault.

I was kind of thinking that his play has earned him playing time but Vaughn should be the regular in LF full time now just as you always wanted and Sheets is going to DH more against RHP . You just better hope that the last few days when Vaughn collided with infielders doesn't become habitual. If that was Eloy we never would've heard the end of it. With Vaughn it's mostly crickets. I have no problem with people liking Vaughn, he's a very likable player. But usually liking him translates into people disliking Sheets more than is necessary. Sheets can't track down a flyball in the gap and it's Sheets sucks. Sheets isn't given the same rope in the OF that Vaughn is given. Granted Vaughn played LF fairly well last year and the sample size so far is too small to make much of it but Vaughn and Sheets are both racking up negative defensive WAR right now. We need Sheets LH bat whether or not people want to admit it.

And once again we are in lock step. I sent a PM to @fathom a while ago explaining my theory on Eloy. If I remember right I always thought it would be his back that gave him problems and that he would never consistently pull the ball.

Eloy probably told to hustle down the line after he lollygagged it the other day and this is what happens.

Yankees win on a pinch hit gapper by Gleyber Torres. Yankees fans throwing things at Guardians OF's . Yankee player telling them to cut that shit out.

Kwan ran into the fence and while they were attending to him Myles Straw climbed the left field fence to have a face to face with some Yankees fans who must've been getting on someone.

Kiner-Falefa almost hit one out for a double against Clase with 2 outs bottom of the 9th to tie it up for the Yankees.

The Answer is Vaughn ,Anderson,Engel, Pollock and Sheets

No way it reaches 10 games. If they were on the road and playing really good teams maybe but they can't continue to look so shitty for 5 more games against inferior competition.

I didn't miss, I just wasn't 100% sure about it, but only ChiSox59 actually questioned if he was being serious.

No winners yet

Don't look it up . Who are the 5 White Sox position players with both a 100 or more wRC+ and a positive fWAR ?

All the lefties we got and no Vaughn and Pollock and Leury 2nd ? When does Anderson's 1 game suspension start ? I'd be trying to get Pollock back into a groove asap since he's one more power bat and I would probably just keep playing Burger and Vaughn and Sheets too. I do admit it's difficult to keep Eloy, Sheets and Vaughn all in the same lineup. That line up is way too slappy. I'd put Leury 8th at 2nd base instead of Harrison. And maybe Grandal batting 2nd. Edit: Ahh I see you were making a little joke , reverse psychology and all that with that post. I didn't think it sounded much like you leaving Vaughn out and Sheets in and the rest of the questionable stuff. Although Sheets is starting to come around now.

Nice pitching Hosey
