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? 

He is a blind old sleepy goat.

Baltimore has a legit Closer. We had no chance against that guy.

Meanwhile, Hendriks gives it up on that kids first career HR

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

Dude is all or nothing.

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

OK, that's 2 posts with the same nonsense. 

Adam Engel fucked this one, plain and simple.   Hendriks pitched a 1-2-3 inning if not for that asshole.

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

Or just injuring something in his body in general. It just looks so unnatural.

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 

I just want to hear TLR say "I'm out bitches." Flip the double bird, and ride out into the sunset.

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

How long did they play an injured Grandal?  It's ridiculous.

Fvk Hendriks

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

Now you see why Liam wanted the 4th year.

But let's be honest. If they didn't play these guys hurt they wouldn't play at all.

How is Jose fucking Abreu our most healthy player?

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.

Tony La Russa's teams will always find another way.

So wish Benetti would leave for the final five weeks, with Hawk filling in to relay what Sox fans are feeling and to annoy and torment Steve Stone over his remaining 37 games.

Dr. Kevorkian was a better doctor than what this team has

Sox are home tomorrow.  Hopefully that one guy has tickets and he can tell Tony that Robert is not right. 

It’s been a real strange season and very frustrating but we didn’t lose any ground on the Twins or a Indians tonight. We still have a heartbeat

We have plenty of time and talent to make up a relatively small gap.  The worry is that there really does seem to be something deeply wrong with this team.

Over the decades the most bizarre, strange, unreal things have seemed to happen to the Sox in Baltimore. Bob Elson called Memorial Stadium, "The Chamber of Horrors..." Tonight fits right in with that narrative.

And oh yes, more soft tissue injuries.

I'm guessing this was the backbreaker.

Preventable tragedy.  I haven't felt this low in a long time.

We can still win but I think injuries are affecting our play and the players are really pressing

Tonight was the night that changed my mind. I don’t want this team to make the postseason. They flat out don’t deserve it and need massive changes to take place in the offseason.  These changes won’t happen if they sneak in.

I'm afraid that even if they end up winning 75 games, nothing will actually change.

You are probably right. 

9th time this year the Sox had a lead in the 7th inning or later and lost.

I would agree, but it's going to take more than just not making the postseason. It's going to take a complete change in ownership, front office, coaching and management. And I highly doubt any of that is happening anytime soon.

And this is coming from the biggest White Sox front office/JR apologist 2016-2021. 

This year has completely broken me and brought me to the other side. 

For me, it didn't start even with the TLR hire. It started with the complete inaction of this offseason to address the needs of the ballclub.

I bet they haven’t won many they trailed in. Can only think of 3
