Fuck yeah that was awesome.

LETS GO SOX!!!!

Good point. I was thinking this would happen as well. I'm so happy that Ricky evolved with his offense.

He hasn't kept up with all of our contract extensions, obviously. This isn't the 2010 Blackhawks.

Pointless. This group mashes well enough. No need to give away free outs.

FUCK YEAH Renteria putting a word in Lucas' ear after Jose's hit.

Well this is off to a great start. Fuck the fucking Twins for fuck sake. Playing like ass against these idiots.

I think allowing Rick Hahn to do a rebuild and do it his way is showing why he was considered so highly as a "GM Prospect" way back when. Not pulling the trigger on unloading a Vaughn, Kopech, Madrigal, Cease or Dunning could pay off huge dividends for this team. I admire the patience, and I admire their valuation of their premium talent. Obviously, the White Sox are now confident in their abilities to get the most out of their players, and given the ceilings for the 5 guys I mentioned, I would want to keep them, too! Many people probably still hate him, but man are things looking good around here... and I think he deserves a lot of credit. KW, too. He is RH's boss and obviously is 100% onboard with this. Kudos, gentlemen. Winning a WS this year would just be icing on the cake of a soon to be amazing decade of Sox baseball.

This is a playoff game. Play like it. I want to see high intensity and the long, grueling at bats to continue. It'd also be nice if we converted on RISP more this series...

Can this be the point in Nelson Cruz's career where he finally starts sucking? He is the most godlike elder ballplayer I've seen in awhile.

No Grandal either is kind of annoying. Can't he play 3B?

No Moncada again. Man I hope those legs get better soon...

Yeah, if they really wanted to trade him they would have. I'm sure there were some OK offers out there. Good job sticking to your guns Rick. They didn't blink on whatever our offer was, unfortunately. Too bad. Let's go to war with who we have and hope for a miracle, then be ready to win it all next year with a more seasoned Cease and Dunning.

I feel like i can't be involved in this thread unless I am something for Yermin.

Well someone must have gotten Lynn. San Diego?

Not a good day to be forecasting balance sheets. Woof

AGREED AGREED AGREED AGREED AGREED

"A deal is in place" Yeah, usually don't wait til the last minute to announce a deal that's been in place.

Quoted for emphasis.

I just hope were keeping Dunning.

Keep Dunning please.

If they're judging whether or not Sox fans will like it based on many people's sentiments towards Lynn and Bundy, it sounds like it could be a bigger name than that.

Oh boy.. here we go.

I have the game on in the background and knew Lucas was doing good, something in his face and demeanor got me wondering if something was up....

He's been so damn impressive his entire career, and seemingly now is much more excited -- rightfully so, and in a better lineup. I just love how he was going to "sign himself here", and he knew this shit was coming and wanted to be a part of it.
