Anyone else want to tell me today that it’s impossible Mune breaks out and carries us to this division?

Good luck with what again?

GIVE US A FUCKING BLOW OUT!!! We’re due for a no doubter or ten. LFGWS!!!

Appropriately it’s an appear to all Baseball Gods and everything Holy… as it’s going to take a fucking miracle for him to break out of this. Yesterday I researched his history in Japan and he has had similar streaks ( K % around 40 and hovering below .200 with no power )… but what he’s been dragging us through is indeed unprecedented for him. Someone call the fucking Pope.

I want at least a 6 game winning streak so we get back to 8 games over .500 - that is if they don’t just win out the rest of the year. I want to see our guys referred to as WINNERS not fucking losers. LETS!!! FUCKING!!! GO WHITE SOX!!!!!!!!!

He’s looked good for the past week. Hope that trend keeps building.

Please Baseball Gods and all things that are holy… LET THIS BE THE GAME THAT MUNE COMES OUT OF HIS SLUMP AND BEGINS AN ABSOLUTE TEAR WHERE HE CARRIES THIS TEAM ON HIS FUCKING BACK LIKE THE JAPANESE BABE RUTH HE CAN BE!!!!! PS: f*** Cleveland.

Acuna… Please play good defense and get on base at least once before you’re pulled for Psycho Sam.

GO TIME! RECLAIM FIRST PLACE WITH A WHITE SOX WINNER!!

Yea, unless Hinch gets cute, Detroit is lined up to throw two LHSP at us. Eat the p*****s alive and sweep em for the third / final time this year!!!

If Getz had balls he’d call up Bonemer and give him a cup of coffee.

If the Sox win tomorrow, it’ll be better. If they take the first two in Detroit and Cleveland loses the first Boston game… 90% of it will clear out. Otherwise… it’ll just get worse and eventually I’ll vanish again. 😆

That’s important news I had yet to hear. Maybe it will become a blessing in disguise and force their hand to sacrifice some potential slug for someone more contact oriented.

You’re talking about my ex-wife. At least theres a solution for that problem… you walk away. With the Sox… that’s not an option for fans like me. How about they just fucking win the god damned division and the script gets rewritten?

Is it a serious possibility that Colson will be out for any significant time? All I heard was that his X-rays were negative and he’s bruised up. That doesn’t sound like a situation that will take him out for any considerable time. If we do have to walk that path… you put Chase at short and Psycho Sam at second. If they had balls, they’d give Bonemer a cup of coffee.

With all of Mune’s struggles and no end to them in sight, it’s really tough to be in a position where our chances of winning the 2026 AL Central rest on his shoulders. What is his stat line that has been highlighted in every broadcast for the past two weeks? Something to the effect of, “Since August 28th Murakami is hitting .105 with a 50% strikeout rate.” That type of “production” from our three hole / cleanup guy doesn’t just massively contribute to RISP LOB woes but I really think it has a huge hand in all of the other guys pressing. If Mune can get hot suddenly we will see a lot of those concerns vanish. We’d also have protection for guys like Vargas or Colson. The rest of the team would be able to take a breather without feeling the individual need to carry this team. I haven’t looked into his history while in Japan but I do recall that he is known as a streaky hitter - I’d just be shocked if he’s ever been this far gone. It’s tough to watch Venable and Getz keep running him out there, giving him the MVP bubble wrap treatment. He doesn’t deserve it. They probably are facing self inflicted pressures in their own rite - with a driving belief operating that if they bench him Chicago will become a less attractive destination for other Japanese players in the future. I’m sure they also want to maintain a favorable relationship with potential contract negotiations on an extension. Problems therein are: We now aren’t sure if we want him extended and the bubble wrap is hurting the team… which is the only really important thing. Prior to this, our starting pitching was the biggest weight dragging us down… and with that department now trending in the right direction, it’s easy to hope that the bullpen levels out in short order. He looked better today but 102 mph exit velocity 415 foot foul balls only count for a strike. There are a lot of reasons we could already have this division locked up but we are where we are. And from where I’m sitting, all eyes should be on Munesama. It time to get back to Strokin! Footnote: If I’m Getz or Venable, I’m platooning him with Grich and moving him down to the 7 or 8 spot. It puts him in a better position to succeed if he’s only facing righties and that may help him feel less pressure. Will they do that? Fucking doubtful.

I just pay no mind to it and tell them to f*** off. You’re right though, there is some masochistic theme around these woods from time to time.

To be fair, since I don’t drink… waters free.

There certainly is a contingent that comes out to post more frequently after losses. Bottom line is this division is still there for them to earn. I’m going to be there rooting for them every step of the way until the year is over. FUCKING GO TIME.

I’d spill my drink on “fans” next to me if he’s booed.

I could just as easily see them go 8-2 or 7-3 as I could see them going 2-8 or 3-7.

You can thank the coaching staff for this one. Kay was rolling.

I’m also still looking at it as our team controlling their destiny. We need to get on a roll and see a return of the good times like nobody’s business.

On paper we’re in second and a half game behind the assholes… but in my eyes we still control our destiny. WIN THR CENTRAL WHITE SOX - ITS STILL IN YOUR HANDS!!!

Dang nab it.
