Hendriks has a gimpy ankle or leg..

The other thing I wonder is if Trump won the election, would the vaccine still be a terrible thing and an infringement on the rights of these people? Would the left be the nutty ones and do what these people are currently doing? At some point, you have to put your politics aside.

I can't believe they let Gonzalez wear Yolmer's #5.

You are the one who is mad watching White Sox baseball. I don't understand why people spend so much time with optional things they apparently can't stand.

The 2005 White Sox lost the season series vs. Boston and LA.

Because basing how they will play in October on how they are playing now is silly. They are basically playing glorified Spring Training games presently Are they able to "flip the switch" on Opening Day? The goal is to get the team as healthy as possible and take their chances.

It is a fact. This team hasn't had it's full line up all year. Whether they ever will is a pretty good question, but if they do, it's a different team than they are currently fielding, but keep being miserable. It's a lot better than being happy. Even their 3 top starters are out right now. As long as everyone is healthy. this team is stacked. And the flip the switch narrative is wrong as well. It infers some sort of effort issue. Teams go from hot streaks to cold streaks back to hot streaks all the time. So apparently flipping a switch is pretty common.

It is a weird thread, but he's still very young and has a ton of talent. He'll figure something out. If Seattle wanted to trade him, I'm sure the Sox would love to have him.

If the Sox won last night, this thread wouldn't have existed. Everyone can blame DK because he wasn't very good, and hasn't been good, but the fact is, their line up is missing several pieces. Kuechel would have had to have thrown a shutout to win last night. Once the bats get healthy, everything will fall into place. You won't have to worry about Kuechel, he won't be in the playoff rotation.

No way. It's clear they are just above .500 because of a total lack of effort and intensity. It has nothing to do with missing key players. They are screwed. They will be lucky to even be in a game after the 5th inning in the playoffs .

Yes. If the choice is a skeleton crew with homefield vs. a full roster without, I'd take the extra road game every time.

Yes a face. But a knee is almost impossible. It has to be in Oakland because it is the only place without a railing, and it has to be someone prone to weird injuries.

I can at least understand some anti-vaxxers , afte rall, I have never had a flu shot, one because I am petrified of needles, but mostly because I have seen too many people get a terrible flu shortly after getting the shot, but I don't understand their inconsistency. If the vaccine is bad, so bad, unproven....why was hydroxychloriquin perfect, and horse dewormer an excellent choice? It would be interesting to see who actually loaded up on stock with these things right before they became the drugs of choice.

Jimmy looked really good last night. Also, I am pretty sure Eloy is the only player who could take a direct shot to the knee while sitting in the dugout.

No bit. Read game threads when the Sox are losing. My take is optimistic compared to many.

I have no idea what an internet sticker is.

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.

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.

Kelenic is only 1 for 3 vs. Ray, so pretty impossible for mere mortals to hit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stacey is right, Silk Sheets.
