Sale vs the White Sox in the Cell is coming soon. Hate to be a pessimist but it's gonna be sooo ugly. Our lineup is mighty pathetic. I can't even imagine how many strikeouts he's gonna have.

Prediction: 1 hitter or maybe even a no no with 17 Ks and we lose 7-0.

You gots a prediction?

 

Reasoning?: Chris Sale has nasty stuff; our lineup has overachieved this year so far; he's mighty motivated after the scissors game and the suspension.

He's going to be so amped up. Think we'll see some 100mph heaters?

Yeah. This is like that Little League game or Babe Ruth League game on the south side you didn't even want to hit in because the other pitcher was the guy in the league who was scary fast and unhittable.

Doesn't Sale pitch pretty poorly when he's amped up?

He gets himself in trouble sometimes when he gets too psyched up. So he'll either have one of his best performances of the season, or a slightly disappointing outing.

I wonder if it'll be all happy occasion or if somebody tries to rattle him and starts an incident yelling stuff from the dugout? Or if he hits somebody early. Again, it's a monumental mismatch and he's going to want blood so to speak after the scissors game and the team's reaction to it.

I think Sale will most likely slay us, as he appears to be in the midst of a peak season -- but I'm hoping he gets himself worked up and overthrows and starts walking guys. Of the two, I trust Quintana to stay calm under pressure more, though whether or not the difference will be enough to overcome Sale's raw power remains to be seen.

 

This will be fun one, in that it's a win to root for in a year when most wins don't matter. And our homestand ends on Monday, so I'm actually going to be able to watch the whole game live. I'm excited.

I will not be watching this game.

I thought we played Boston Monday through Wed, then at Tigers, Rays and Indians for nine more on the road?

Sox are gonna shell him.

They have good scouting reports on him at least

So excited for this game. Expecting/hoping he'll get a standing ovation, but you always get those morons who boo any former player regardless of circumstances.

Is anyone else here going to the game?

Neither will I... and it's gonna suck to miss.

Sale is absolutely going to slay us. And that's fine, we need all the L's we can get.

I've been lucky enough to see Wilbur Wood...Goose Gossage...Terry Forster...BlackJack McDowell...Alex Fernandez...but in terms of Sox pitchers in my lifetime....nobody comes close to Chris Sale in terms of overall greatness as a pitcher. Just nasty at times. Not sure why anyone would boo either. Wish we could have kept him....but he needed to be traded. He's one of the best in the game and I for one enjoy watching him pitch...regardless of who it's for.

Wear the collared throwbacks. He'll overthrow everything.

Yep, one of the few games I really want them to win

I'll be sitting in the 150 section, in my Sale jersey, pulling my hair out.

I be in 159 with my sale jersey

I can't decide if I should wear a Sale or Quintana shirsey.

I am really curious to see the Sox reaction towards Sale, and Sale's reaction towards the Sox. It wouldn't shock me if he were angry/bitter towards some people, because he is that kind of temperamental and petty. I kind of expect someone to get beaned.

I believe he meant the team he works for.
