Diekman got shelled. 

Fitting that it was lone reinforcement the GM could pick up at the deadline.

I gotta say, this has been the funniest thread all year.

 What a sorrowful team. 

And believe me, there are things many of us are not saying so we don’t sound awful

Fire everyone.  Diekman was just a ridiculously bad trade.

Oh come on, we were told by the pom pom squad Diekman was a great pickup, it was all this team needed down the stretch!

You didn’t watch last night?

Not for a full game like tonight 

Liam Hendriks can't give up another 9th inning HR in that series...but he did.

Dude is all or nothing.

We all watch a lot of baseball. I’ve never seen someone take swings like Robert did tonight.

You say something is unprecedented a lot. Usually I think you’re wrong. This time you’re correct as far as I can tell.

He was doing last night too.

No excuse to not have him bunting in the 11th.  How can anyone defend LaRussa anymore?

Is anyone actually still doing that?

Jim Abbott had a much better swing

I think I read that TLR checked in on Robert and said he was alright. How the hell is he alright when he swings without his fucking top hand? 

What’s that stench in the dugout? It’s smells like rotten eggs. Time to clean house! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

When was the last time we saw Robert bunt?   Let's be serious here, he'd probably wear that 102 MPH fastball in the face. 

The biggest turd drop by LaRussa is not PH for him earlier in the game after he hit that the DP with one arm.

That pitch selection was just awful.

I was thinking this is the worst, most embarrassing loss since Beckham dropped the pop up in the middle of the infield in the 9th against the Mets in 2013.

But then I remembered the Sox actually came back and won that game.  So we are talking pre-2013.

Thing is, he’s opening himself up to breaking his other hand with this swing.

You need a Closer that rises to the occasion in the biggest games.  Not Hendriks.

The Sox have scored the same number of runs as the 48-75 Cincinnati Reds.

He’s clearly not 100 pct.  Probably why you don’t give him basically a four year deal with a shaky elbow.

They played a little game of telephone down the bench. 

Our rebuilding teams would beat this one.

For the love of god could a beat reporter actually ask some hard questions tonight of LaRussa. He just has to be held accountable for the Robert situation 

Tony La Russa still needs one win before year end to end the season with an over .500 record with the White Sox over his ten years.

White Sox:

• 4 GB for AL Central lead (Add 1/2 game since they currently lose the tiebreaker vs. Cleveland)
• 5 GB for AL #3 Wild Card (Currently ahead of Seattle 2-1 for head to head tiebreaker)

Lance Lynn deserved bone-in ribeye tonight, was served chop steak by his teammates after he left after six strong innings.

 

What a dumb name: White Sox

Why is Robert in there?  Why was Kopech in there?  They’re hurt.  It’s unreal that we over-rest guys all season in key games, and now we run guys out there who are actually injured
