Quin

The only insane logic I can think of is they think he'll be back — fully healthy — in the '24-'25 season and will try to extend him on a cheap deal in return for their loyalty.

You either retire a hero, or pitch long enough to become a slapdick motherfucker.

Pasta water simmering

REMY IS COMING FOR SHOHEI'S MVP

The pasta water is boiling?

Even though he's not a Sox pitcher, I'd like to nominate Alex Manoah.

I remember the days when we thought the rotation would be made of some combination of Gio, Rodon, ReyLo, Kopech, Cease, and Dunning.

Lance Lynn when he can't blame defense:

LANCE

You know things are looking up when we're running the "worst record to make the playoffs" graphic.

Trout was expecting MLB-caliber pitches.

Pedro, I'm begging you, make Lynn a piggyback starter.

Shocked but not disappointed. But also this: You have to imagine that means DDR or Lavine would be traded.

Would love me some Long Gone Vaughn right here.

Sweet lord, Tim got a hit.

To be fair, you don't want a well done Burger.

Everyone knows that you do rehab stints at the MLB level. Incredibly small sample size, but he was doing well in the WBC and the beginning of the season until Alberto punched his knee backwards. It's so frustrating that they insist on rushing guys back.

Cease and Kopech have to be fuming

Ump made a call so bad EE called a timeout.

Only acquire players with Robert in their name.

whimper into the night

Not nearly comedic enough.

Time for the Sox to tie it up only to lose in extras.

Maybe the Ohtani recruitment plan is he'll have fond memories associated with the White Sox?

Ohtani is so fucking amazing.
