Last week in Cleveland the clock in the tower struck midnight and the golden carriage turned back into plain yellow pumpkin.

The thought of RR as MOY defied universal logic.

Rally Engel 

that’s all we need

Can I throw up yet?

Way too answer back

At this point just throw Cease out there. Our relievers are walking more guys than he usually does.

Oh, you’re allowed to get 3 guys out in a row?

How is Ricky gonna fuck this up this time?

Many many many ways.

The team itself and players are fine.  I go back to the idea that you cannot rely on 8 guys to be lights out in a game.

The umpiring has been bad but at the same time the White Sox pitchers couldn't come through.

Gonna need another big 7th inning.  

Feel sick about this game .

Got a lot of depth to build. Real depth. Not wishcasting that Reynaldo lopez is a piece of the future type depth.

And that could be no big deal, but depends on Jerry. Hopefully this makes him hungry.

Will see how serious they are about winning in the offseason.  Need to go out and get at least 1 bonafide MLB pitcher or preferably two.  Hoping some guy with the physical skills will figure it out will get you what we are watching right now, if that.

Exactly, to assume that you will be back in the playoffs next season is stupid.  When you have a chance you go for it.

I'm not one to shy away from giving people their medicine. If we miss the playoffs next year I'm still going to do it. This team hasn't been to the playoffs in a fucking decade and it was just "oh well if we lose atleast we didn't trade away the #97 prospect in baseball". I hate this. I want to win. 

Cant believe how this game has gone.

I haven't witnessed a choke job like what I'm witnessing here in forever.

 

Just choke after choke out of the bullpen - handing them runs.

Lucky for the 2026 fans that threw a party at the deadline when we didn’t acquire anyone

THANK YOU!!!!

Have fun slobbering over Stiever’s potential for a 2 WAR career, y’all. Lynn or Clevinger with us means likely ALCS.

Not having a third SP means this embarrassment.

It sucks that a 2 run deficit seems like 10

I’m all for blaming Ricky usually, but the pitching just flat out failed the team today. Same crap that’s been happening for weeks.

It’s not over yet but it doesn’t look good. Like I said, we need one more SP that can give us innings so we don’t have to rely on bullpen games like this. I hope Kenny and Rick are watching this.

Moral of the story is this pitching hasn’t been able to get the 3rd out of the inning in big situations enough the last two weeks 

Youth will be served. Or yutes if this was My Cousin Vinny.

It’s a terrible game, but it also brings us back to yesterday where if the Sox would have played a clean game, they’re enjoying Los Angeles today.

The Oakland Bullpen is outpitching the Sox pen!  Plain and simple!   Doesn’t help to have a manager who can’t manage a bullpen!

Ricky got scared in the fist that he was going to get second guessed.  After watching our guys hit in the first inning.  Playing like the first inning is the end was the death knell.  We have two pitchers in the bullpen coming off injury.  We have a bunch of rookies.  When he started mixing and matching so early as well you knew Rodon was coming in.  Rodon proved that the inning he had in Cleveland was what he is right now.  A pitcher with terrible control.
