Would you rather play a team who clinched and their season is extended or a team with guys trying to hang onto a MLB career and their vacation starts next week?

He didn't need anything else with that lead

While we laugh and cry at Castillo and his contract (although I don't really care, it's JR's money) there are some parallels to Dennis Eckersley. I'm a season of very unlikely White Sox turnarounds having him reinvent himself as a closer would be the most unlikely Sox thing to have happen. Exactly why it will. He just had to go throw about 15 good pitches.

Dennis Eckersley was 32 when they finally stopped asking him to start games. His career was only half over. As starters they had similar ups and downs. It would be the most unlike Sox thing to ever happen in a season of the most unlike Sox thing to happen.

I imagine there is no leave the stadium and return?

Or if he turns into a stud closer. . .

He's still collecting a check. What an embarrassment for a couple billion men on this planet that can't pitch better.

Good wind for Castillo

See the excitement in the bench? They see Castillo warning up and know they need a few more

I just threw up

Using the bench like it's a playoff game

Come on. Let's go

He won't use any tomorrow

Exactly. I'll add college sports stopping being amateur as well

Keep it boring

Ooh, not a strike

He's the only one in the pen that could raise his arm when Will asked who wanted in

As they say no lead is safe when the Sox pitch

It has to be so boring to be sitting in the clubhouse waiting to play or not.

I've been converting a loft closet to tote storage and trying to reorganize my shop to get to my table saw easier. My back is killing me, my arms are hanging. That is a better feeling than the last two pages of posts in this thread.

I got neck deep in a remodel project and was afraid to look at the score.

Nothing concentrates the mind quite like blowing an 8–2 lead with eight games left. I feel like that pulled pork I had for dinner last night was my last happy supper of the summer.
