Go Sox!!

This ought to be a productive day of work...

first playoff game in 12 years. Let's fuckin win today boys!

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO

Team needs to come out hungry today.  Giolito in particular needs to be sharp from the get-go and pitch like the ace he’s capable of being.  I also want Ricky to go with an “all-in” lineup, which means no Encarnacion today whether Eloy is playing or not.  Preferably that means both Yasmani & McCann in the lineup, but obviously that depends on whether Eloy can play LF.  And most importantly, no relievers outside of the big six should get work today.  Sorry Ricky, but that means no Jimmy Cordero if/when Lucas gets pulled.

Release the goddam roster already

Lineup prediction (hoping Eloy can play LF):

1. Anderson SS
2. Grandal DH
3. Abreu 1B
4. Eloy LF
5. Moncada 3B
6. McCann C
7. Robert CF
8. Engel RF
9. Madrigal 2B

I can jive with that. 

Would love to see Collins on the roster as a backstop so that McCann and Grandal can both start.

Would also like Mendick's bat on the bench.

We don't need more than 3 starters so we should have more bench guys available and less pitching on the roster.  Ricky using them properly is a whole other story.

LFG WHITE SOX 

I have a meeting from 2-3 today at work but you better be sure I will be checking my phone throughout. Hopefully they don't ask me anything!

If you use the #WorldSeries on Twitter, you get the Sox logo.

Woke up today with a big smile on my face! White Sox playoff baseball! Let's fucking Gooooooo!

Might want to clean up that title...looks like 12    instead of Game 1, at 2 p.m. Chicago time, 12:00 p.m. local (OAK/SF)

15 years ago (!) sitting in a friend's dorm room watching the sox beating the crap out of the red sox early and basically never looking back.

Those sox playing a lot of backups suddenly got really hot over the previous weekend and their bats were suddenly not their biggest issue.

Here's hoping to that, or the starting pitching suddenly being lights out beyond gio and dk.

But overall - go sox.

Shit was so boring in June when we had nothing to talk about. Hopefully we can have fun, but I'm sure most of us will be stressed as hell. That's alright, happens when playoff baseball gets pent up for 12 years.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Pregame/postgame on NBCSC.

Going to be really interesting to see how the coaching staff as well as each individual player reacts to the pressure of playoff baseball. Every pitch, every at bat, every managerial decision is huge. 

I will say no matter what it's great to have the Sox in the playoffs again and hopefully this is the start of many consecutive appearances. 

LFG!

Those are all the guys I want to see in the lineup. I would drop Moncada behind McCann against the lefty . I don't think either of us will be right however.
