Fitting end to an awful season. A truly terrible, broken, mismanaged team battled a good, talented team to a draw. I really felt like the latter team would break through in the end but it was not to be. I still have hope that with new management, better health, and some key roster moves this team could contend next year, but my faith and baseline level of optimism have definitely taken a hit.

You should host a 670 the Score-themed program on the E! channel.

I was 1000% team Bochy two years ago and still think he was the right hire at the time. I'd still be good with him but I am a little concerned that this team may need to truly exorcise the demons of the TLR era, and not sure another pedigreed old dude could do that. I'd be good with Jirschele or another young, up-and-coming out-of-the-box hire. Just no cheaters, please.

Wow, only 47% of you root against the White Sox? Would have thought higher.

In a playoff year. That would be soooooo Sox

Agreed. Our rotation is a problem in the playoffs. It's getting there that's the trick.

Our players consistently give only 100%, which is inadequate when real competitors give 110%, maybe even 112%. That's literally like 10-12 more. You do the math YOAN

Hmm, he actually said a little there. Which, run through the Hahn-speak translator, means he said a lot.

I'm a certified TLR hater, but it's pretty funny that we can now point to both the team's losses (because TLR is like sort of back with the team in the skybox) and wins (because TLR isn't actually managing) as evidence that TLR is the problem. ?

The Soreness Will Escalate Until Morale Improves

Weird they dodged Cease with the famous sunny-day-rain-delay routine just to punt this one

It’s worth it…but you need more than two teams. Diversify that portfolio, baby!

You ok?

Yes, bolded facts are true. Also true: if the Sox were run like the Guardians Soxtalk would be even more miserable than it is now.

By the way, I missed when they swapped Gio for Lynn. When did they announce that? Happy they did it, but just surprised I missed the "fanfare."

Sometimes you can make up four games in four days, as we did a couple weeks ago. Sometimes your competitor wins 6 in a row and you can't do anything but lose ground, like this week. The math is what it is -- you can imagine a thousand hypothetical scenarios, (and can declare that your hypo is definitive if it makes you feel better), but I'm going to take it day by day. Let's start with cutting the lead to 3 this afternoon.

Yes, let’s do keep winning. That would be splendid.

I feel like i say that to myself the first inning of all his starts

Dammit don’t give me hope like this then snatch it away

I think it was skewed before he came

Guess we’ll have to settle for burying the Twins this week. I’ll take it. Get one team out of there and make it a two team race—that has value

Well well well.

Hoping to see Lynn keep gaining steam today. Let’s step in their necks early and don’t let up.

Yeah, you get ‘em! They should have won differently
