May 8, 20196 yr Giolito was the goods. McCann was outstanding and gotta give love for the Tilson who is finally unleashed. Oh and shoutout to Colome too who had to clean up Fry's mess. Edited May 8, 20196 yr by SoxAce

May 8, 20196 yr Pitching, timely hitting and for once, defense. Baseball the way it should be played. And Giolito was simply outstanding.
May 8, 20196 yr Love it. Great baseball. Pen almost blew it but Colome with the 4 out save. Was great. Was beautiful. Billions and billions of likes. Best game ever. Except for the wooing. That needs to stop.

Cordell and Tilson just haven't been real healthy the last few years. Since the Sox have had so many injuries it's real nice to know they don't last forever. It just seems that way. Jones Rodon Kopech Burger Dunning Burdi who am I missing ? Robert couldn't show anything either till this year.
May 8, 20196 yr Incomprehensible lineup construction, excellent starting pitching, questionable bullpen decision, and you get exciting White Sox baseball!!!

Definitely not the years of bad ownership, management, and losing. No playoff appearances since 2008 is a much more minor issue. It's the forum's fault. Edited May 8, 20196 yr by Harper2Sox

That is all I liked when he was down in the count he reared back and threw a 96 mph fastball with movement over the plate daring that cold, shit lineup to put it in play. It's nice to see a guy come in, have good stuff and attack without nibbling.

No playoff appearances since 2008 is a much more minor issue. It's the forum's fault. I mean go to any team’s forum and they all act the same, regardless of recent success. It’s definitely the nature of the internet. Go to the Cubs subreddit after they have a 2 game losing streak, half the sub is ready to jump off the ledge. Despite winning the title last year a bunch of the Red Sox subreddit want to hang themselves after the slow start. Happiness seems fleeting in general in sports fandom.
