Okay, Yasmani. Never did I think I'd miss a .188 hitter so much

Grandal.

Grand slam. Or a walk or base hit.

Thompson is shook

This is a pretty beefy lineup, 1-9. We can score some runs. But we have to not have the suckass DK in innings 2-9.

The White Sox would be…

Thank you. The best course is to move him to the bullpen, not DFA him, since they cannot control what another club does.

A slam here by Yaz would be epic.

They are on pace to finish this game around 2:30 AMish.

he takes those pitches so beautifully

I’m extreme anti-booing because the players are humans trying their best, but I’m fine with Dallas getting showered. He’s had no problem whining about others in postgame pressers this season. #karma

agree. I only boo if they earn it with their behavior.

Anything but a DP ball here…

It is time for the Chicago White Sox to continue their winning ways this evening!

Series Background:

The Chicago White Sox return home after a 3-4 road trip to host the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs finished their homestand with a 2-4 record, completing a series win over the Rockies on Thursday after being swept by Kansas City over the weekend.

The White Sox swept the Cubs earlier this month at Wrigley Field, the first three game sweep by either team in this series since the White Sox swept the Cubs in Wrigley Field May 18-20, 2012. The Chicago White Sox hold a 68-63 record against the Cubs in interleague games. In addition, the Chicago White Sox hold a 4-2 advantage in World Series contests.

Projected Starters:

The projected starter for the Chicago White Sox is LHP Dallas Keuchel (8-7; 135 2/3 IP; 82 K; 4.71 ERA). Dallas has pitched well in Comiskey Park II this season, going 5-2 with a 4.07 ERA over 73 innings in 12 starts and 1 relief appearance.

The Cubs are expected to start RHP Keegan Thompson (3-3; 44 2/3 IP; 44 K; 2.42 ERA). This will be Keegan's third career MLB start, with one in April, the second his last apperance when he faced the Kansas City Royals last weekend, allowing 5 hits and 2 runs, both earned, over 4 innings, 73 pitches.

Chicago White Sox Injury Updates:

• Yasmani Grandal 8/26 Update: Expected Return is this weekend. The Sox expect to carry two catchers with three upcoming off days over the next eight scheduled games. Seby Zavala likely the catcher to be sent to Charlotte or the taxi squad, until rosters expand in September, based on the fact he already was optioned this season.
• Adam Engel 8/26 Update: Expected Return TBD. Adam was diagnosed with right groin tightness on August 12, but has also been diagnosed with left (non-throwing arm) shoulder inflammation. Tony reported Engel has made "some progress" over the past two days, but there is still no plan for him to go on a rehab assignment.
• Billy Hamilton: Expected Return TBD. Billy Hamilton started his rehab assignment in Charlotte on August 21st, playing two games each at DH and CF, including his latest game on Thursday in Center Field.

Final Game Thread Opening Post Thoughts:

Let's continue with good positive thoughts and comments throughout the day and evening. For those attending the game, stay classy out there, keep the balls and cups in the stands, and keep your chants on a family friendly respectable level,

Go White Sox!

This is the best position player lineup of the season. Unfortunately, paired up with our worst starter by far.  Can we switch ReyLo for Keuchel in the rotation?  Giving up 6 in the first inning to a minor league team, most of the runs with 2 outs is unacceptable.

Grandal had his pitches to hit. Three meatballs in a row on 3-0. Overly patient and tried to do too much. Must be nervous since it's his first game back. Huge momentum shift to the Cubs. Bummer..
