White Sox playoff position tracker
The ESPN standings have the White Sox playoff odds at 100%. They are crazy. The lead is only 11 and a scant 10 in the loss column with more than 3 weeks left to play, and a 5 game guaranteed to be swept series in Cleveland.. They need new mathematicians.

Lynn currently Cy Young favorite
I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Danny Wright. I went to Yankee Stadium on my birthday many years ago, and Danny beat the Rocket and the Yankees quite handily. Jeff Leifer hit one into the 3rd deck. iIRC the only run Danny allowed was an Alfonso Soriano homer. The very next day Miquel Olivo made his major league debut. I remember seeing him talking to Manuel and a couple of other coaches in the hotel lobby early that morning when I was going to get some breakfast.

Lynn currently Cy Young favorite
Kelenic is only 1 for 3 vs. Ray, so pretty impossible for mere mortals to hit.

9/5- White Sox at Royals, 1:10
I do think the Sox have been burned enough by the just don't give him anything to. Hit strategy where 4 fingers should be standard. The weird thing is Tony had no problem putting them up for a washed up Pujols earlier this season.

It’s hard not to care if they win or lose, but he is right. The most important thing is to be at as close to full strength as possible in October.

9/5- White Sox at Royals, 1:10
Crochet has gone from the guy Renteria needed to get a playoff win, to a guy who pitches once a week if he is lucky in 6 run games. He has been throwing pretty well as of late. Either there is some sort of injury concern or his usage is just stupid.

9/5- White Sox at Royals, 1:10
He’s worthless. Really, any pitcher who gives up any runs really is. Don’t let the fact that he has whiffed the last 5 fool you, he is getting shelled.

9/5- White Sox at Royals, 1:10
I would like the Sox chances a bit more if JR wasn’t so cheap and brought McCann back, let RH trade for a real RF in Jason Heyward, whose OPS is almost .600, and is only owed around $50 million. Cheapness is also the only reason Garrett Richards wasn’t signed for the rotationand LaStella isn’t at 2B instead of Hernandez. Complete fail.

Why isn't Lucroy on the team?

9/5- White Sox at Royals, 1:10
Sox really have no chance to win a playoff game, especially if Cease shows the Royals can score a run off him. Like he is just supposed to turn it on for the playoffs. I hope no one was fooled by this awful franchise into believing they could actually win games, and gave them their hard earned money to watch them. Kimbrel got the win last night, but as Ray Ray knows, it was the Royals who bailed him out striking out 3 times in an inning. Did you see the professional AB by Lopez with the single into left on the Kimbrel meatball?

AND THAT’S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
This Grandal contract is just a real killer for the White Sox. Why did they get rid of McCann?

9/5- White Sox at Royals, 1:10
If Cease gives up a run today, the playoffs look like a fist round sweep, if the Sox even make it. He really needs to be Jacob Degrom for the Sox to have the slightest chance.Only a 10 1/2 game lead, which really is smaller since it is only 9 in the loss column. A 5 game series in Cleveland where there is no chance the Sox win a game. With Gio hurt, Rodon limited, Lynn with a bad knee, Kuechel really bad, Cease is all the Sox really have. They have gone backwards since 2020. Time to back the truck up. What a dreadful season.

AND THAT’S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!
Yeah, should have traded Kopech. They should have traded Moncada after 2019. Hopefully they will trade Robert and Eloy this off-season before it is too late. Fuck winning. Let’s get some prospects.

Gutsy move taking him out here. He has only given up 6.

Giolito exits early, will miss at least one start
Pretty much every MLB S & C coach should be fired if hammys were grounds for dismissal. I wonder why football players don't have this issue to the same extent.

Lynn on IL, Mendick back
He’s probably got the gout.

Have we ever had a player with as much raw talent as Luis Robert?
His 1994 season was more incredible. Would have been interesting to see where he would have wound up if they played a full season.

He turned down around $180 million a couple of years ago. Is there any chance he hasn't cost himself around $100 million if not more?

Javy Baez hit a Homer today and gave a thumbs down to the fans explaining later he was essentially booing them. One less suitor for him.

8/29 game thread Sox vs Cubs 1:10 first pitch
Yes at the games I have attended this year, when there has been visible fights, all of the have been in the bleachers. It can’t just be a coincidence.
