Not sure what kind of momentum this really builds for the rest of the series...

The White Sox are making a travesty of the game.

I’m sorry, you don’t just turn on a switch after they turned it off this week.  This season seems over.

Baez has more extra base hits lefty than Robert has in about three weeks

They look like a last place team just trying to finish out the last couple games of the season and get onto the offseason

The play this week and then this performance tonight, the "On" switch these folks will need to flip next week is about the size of Lake Michigan.

Ricky looks like the Tank Commander he’s always been

And pitching Yolmer confirms it.  Stick a fork in them.

Cooper going to make sure Yolmer stops throwing that curveball 

6th straight loss.   completely embarrassing fashion.  There aren’t enough adjectives...

For the first time this season...I don't like this team. FML

Big Frank not having that performance.

33-17 on Sept 17th

34-24 after this one. 

6th straight loss.  1-7 since “clinching.”

From #1 seed, best record in the AL, to the 7th seed in the span of a week.  

2 playoff games is hardly a consolation for this complete and utter collapse.

Frank just laid it out for all to hear.  Something is wrong in that clubhouse and it has th o be fixed quickly.  An embarrassment. 

You can't lose the Cubs 10-0  without at least staging one benches clearing baseball pussy fight.

 

The good news, only 4 more games.

Frank is absolutely livid

Sox are doing a good job getting the Cubs and Indians hot before the playoffs.

You are on to something there IMO. The Cubs looked like a very different team than the one Sox beat 2 of 3 and frankly the one the Sox played the last few years of the Sox rebuild. Cubs were into it and pissed and frankly beat up the White Sox. That bat flip was insane. The chat with Anderson on second base after he got hit looked intense. Sox really look passive and terrible but as we all know, stuff happens. I wish all Sox starters could get 12 hours sleep the next couple nights, rest up for the playoffs and return to the aggressive, fun, cocky home run hitting team of most of the season. Right now Sox blow chunks, but folks that can still change.

I will say the Sox are in a bind with RR if the Sox get swept by the Cubs and fall meekly in the playoffs. Is that a fireable offense after playing so well most of the COVID season? I dunno but I do trust Stoney and Stoney obviously thinks RR is a dud by his tweets. I'd personally defer to Stoney I guess and axe Ricky for somebody else.

This team's been ruining my day for the past week. I'm almost glad it's close to over.

Yeah cause the Cubs went into the series with energy. And we were dead in the water. 

The Cubs just came off a series where they lost 3 of 4 to the Pirates. But somehow they put up 10 runs tonight. 

Wish I could watch the NBC Sports Chicago channel, wanna see Frank pretend like he cares 

It's crazy how things can go so good to hopelessly bad in such short time. Baseball I guess.

Not baseball, White Sox baseball.  This organization happens to sucker punch its fanbase every fucking year

Yep, it has been an awful week.  They looked completely lifeless tonight.  I hope they surprise me so I can at least see one more win this season, but unfortunately I am expecting the Cubs to sweep and we lose 2-0 wherever we go for the playoffs.  Looking like going to Minnesota, Cleveland or Oakland.  Can you imagine if they have to go back and play in Cleveland?

Wasn’t a lot of this stuff brewing though for weeks?  Everyone knew at the deadline they were short a starter and a lefty bat.  The only thing that has really changed since then is Robert went from one of the best players to one of the worst.  James Fox said it at the deadline, the organization didn’t really care about going for it this season.
