I remember I had bought the tickets for my Dad a couple of weeks before because the Sox were in it and it would be great to see them play the Yankees in the middle of a playoff hunt...then our Sox crashed and burned and the game didn't mean a damn thing to that season.

The only time I saw the Yankees in person was late one season where the Yankees actually clinched the playoffs in Chicago. The funny thing about that game was that my Dad and I both were envious of the starting pitcher for the Yankees that night....Jose Contreras!! I remember my Dad actually said to me 'Why can't the Sox have a guy like that?" I got to call him in the offseason to give him the good news.

Red Sox fans are generally quite obnoxious...I'm sure they had that coming.

You got it....I'll be the guy with the Cannonballers cap going nuts when Grandal hits a homer or 2. I think you know what I mean.

What is Eaton?....

I agree that GameThreads are blameless god like creatures and we must abide by their rules.

For Ray and Ron...

Going to the game tonight, my 1st this year...I have heard great things about the energy in the ballpark this season. Looking forward to a great game from Rodon and the Sox teeing off on some starting LH pitching.....and plenty grilled onions on my dog or polish....and I hope that ice cream stand with the freshly made waffle cones is still there.

I think it should be an All White Sox home run derby, but that's just me.

That sounds very healthy...is there meetings I can attend or is it pretty much self help? I need to try that approach I think.

I always think our Sox play best with a little chip on their shoulder...let the national media ignore them. Now what bothers me is the local media doing the same. A small example of this for me...I was listening to WMVP on Saturday morning waiting for White Sox weekly to begin and Fred Huebner mentions that they will be talking White Sox starting at 10:00 so I left the channel on. I went in the store and came back out to my car at 10:10 and he is still taking calls from Cubbie fans so I yell at my radio "let them take their damn calls down the dial, you are the home of the White Sox and said you'd be talking White Sox starting 10 damn minutes ago!!" Yes I have some issues with the local media.

We have a very good SP staff And Welcome back Man of Steal

I agree Jose could use a day off.

Robert Hamilton Engel Those are some excellent CF on the roster this season Oops....almost forgot Mendick ?

Its Engel day!! Tune in to the pregame early

Not changing your strategy based on who was pitching was a joke and his attitude at the press conference was worse. I thought I was done being annoyed wirh him...I had been avoiding that TLR thread...then he does something else and sucks me right back in.

Yep he made it damn clear we were going to see this all season. His attitude towards the reporter who dared ask him an obvious question was bs.

Hey the Cannon Ballers got their 4th win...don't stop now boys.

Found a different thread that welcomes criticism of the HOF legend

All I heard was LaRussa said after the game that he did not think Billy would be available tomorrow.

I didn't like him in 1986 and don't like him in 2021 and don't care what he did in between so I guess we are even.

That was just a bad time for a bunt today, period. If you will not adjust your strategy based on who is pitching, I just don't know what to say. And the fact that he seemed to not like being questioned about it after the game just pisses me off. Can we reopen the TLR thread? And I don't mean the kiss ass one about his # of wins.

Yep, I heard it and he did not like that question one bit. He made it very clear we are going to see the bunting all season.

Haha, talking about the bunt in the postgame and Ozzie said he said to himself "Holland, that guy is still in baseball?"....Exactly Ozzie...Exactly.
