I grew up close enough to Comiskey that we would hear the fireworks when they hit a homer....I fondly remember my Dad calling out from the backyard "WHO HIT ONE?!" It's in my blood and I don't think I could quit the White Sox if I wanted to....plus what would my wife and son do if they didn't have new Sox caps to give me for bday, father's day and xmas??

It's also a bit of a crock of crap....their destiny has been in their hands for months. Easy part of the schedule...they play .500 just like the rest of the season. I'm not excusing LaRussa but for crying out loud there are enough veterans on this team that they should have realized long ago that this team had no fight.

Time to put some $$ on the rockies?

An example of what I consider situational hitting is this....I've been watching baseball and White Sox baseball for a long time, and I cannot remember any team that is so bad with the bases loaded. It is very odd. I agree defense has been bad as well....unfortunately this team does not play good baseball and their talent level has fallen off to a point that playing bad baseball really matters. Finally, the lack of hustle at times is something that most White Sox fans, me included, just cannot stand.

So we agree that the offense and offensive approach are the main reasons this team dug a hole that this late season surge most likely won't save them from.

I'll go with this order....Situational Hitting, LaRussa, Situational Hitting, Injuries, Situational Hitting, the Nationwide Jingle Curse, Situational Hitting and Joe Kelly.

So you're saying there's a chance? Yes!!!

Might've helped if this team's situational hitting wasn't abysmal for most of the year.

Pretty obvious that they have to sweep the 4 games left with Cleveland....maybe 3 out of 4 gives them a shot but it'd be a slim one.

Flipping around the radio dial on my way to work and the guy doing the sports scores on Rock 95.5 said the mere presence of TLR made them lose yesterday. Not judging, just passing along that report ?

Yep, but IF they do sweep those 4 from the Guardians that'd be something special. Unfortunately they've put themselves in the position of having to do things like that.

I wonder if they'll cry because they fall outta the top 10?

The 1 game playoff is no more. Unless the Sox sweep the 4 remaining games with the Guardians, Cleveland will own the tie breaker.

Especially since Paulie would never make it out of the primaries...it's a moot point.

No kidding....really?? That's so odd, you think it would've been mentioned.

I know your more upset about what he said about TLR....admit it.

It truly is in their own hands.

I thought Cleveland already had the tiebreaker, no?

I'm starting to get really concerned that there is no longer a game 163. We need to win 3 out of the 4 games we've got with Cleveland.

That is fun.

Yep 2nd place all alone....better than 2 1/2 back.

Thats OK they can Win tonight and still suck it.
