Terrific, thanks. I am really rooting for him to seize one of the spots in the rotation next year. That would be tremendous to the rebuild (if we can still call it that...do we call it the contention window now?)

I just wonder if the Sox internally think that Kopech will ever reach that ceiling here. I do just have a feeling that he will be traded this offseason. I do not advocate for it, just would not be surprised if it happens...maybe as a piece traded to get a current major leaguer from a club trying to shed payroll?

Last year, I was not sure about whether the Sox should extend Jose...then I saw the story of Abreu's Amigos and what he does with those developmentally disadvantaged youngsters. The story showed Jose interacting with them with such love. At the end of that story, I was very sad at the prospect that Jose might not be a White Sox for his whole career. Jose Abreu is such a genuine guy who works his butt off and leads this club by example. I am so happy at the outstanding season he has had to really show how vital his extension was to the success of this ballclub.

Under pressure he justs get the job done. I go back to that game where the ball went through Grandal's legs on the throw home. It was a blown save, but against all odds Colome kept that game tied and the Sox won it. If that ball does not get past Grandal, Colome might have still done his magic and gotten the save after all. Things do not seem to rattle him and that is what you want in a closer imho.

Could not agree more.

Tremendous. Always great to hear your opinion. This shortened season has been a joy. It is almost like a terrific trailer for a movie I have been dying to see. The upcoming years will be that blockbuster and its sequels. But how about we just go ahead and win it now, just for kicks.

If the Twins have a kangaroo court, he should get a hefty fine from his own clubhouse as well. Extremely dumb move, especially by a veteran ball player.

Alright you convinced me...I will add a Respect Chicago shirt to my order

Alex "never a doubt" Colome. I love how he seems to have to make it interesting. "I think I will treat this comebacker like my glove is made of bricks...nobody wants to see a 1-2-3 inning. I'd let the game thread down." But yes I agree. His job is to save games and he has been tremendously effective at doing that.

I understand how the dissing by ESPN can be annoying. Personally it doesn't bother me too much because I stopped watching ESPN years ago...but it really does seem to be deliberate at this point.

Not to get off subject, but Poppy how excited are you? Your positive attitude for this squad has been tremendous so you must be pumped.

I saw on the Fanatics site some "Respect Chicago" Sox shirts too. I love it. That is some Tim Anderson'esque wonderful stuff there. R E S P E C T

Is Ricky wearing a playoff cap? I need one. Where do I get it? How Much? Never mind how much, just where?

Just give Jose the damn MVP...legging out an infield single to tie the game, unbelievable. The man is just an RBI machine...51 in 50 games. Yes, the man is underpaid.

I knew it was inevitable for awhile this year, but I am still choked up a bit.

My wife bought me this single years ago....I think I might cry.

I've got a White Sox Golden Ale chilling in the fridge at home for just such an occasion

Very nervous in the middle of the game, but what a great series win!!!

For crying out loud, his at bats are looking palka-esque today.

I saw an old after school special starring a young Ben Affleck playing a high school football player on roids. His overacting rage was hilarious.

So nice that Alex decided to get him out twice...nice job...let's add some runs.

Thanks, ump. BS.

Going back to earlier in the game...what kind of dumb ass veteran leadership is that by Donaldson to get himself thrown out of one of the biggest games of the season in regards to winning the division. Go ahead and give him high 5's for that, morons.

Eloy with a nice adjustment from earlier at bats. Big 2 out rally there.

Not how I envisioned it but OK, thanks Polanco
