Just quit, Tony. Get a jump on the rest of your life.

Tear it down!!

Close game. Moral victory. 

I’ll be honest. When they got 5 games up, even I didn’t think they’d drop back to .500.

One bad inning sinks the Sox. Let’s get ‘em tomorrow

It’s ironic they started that dead cat bounce against a team called the Tigers.

Only losers quit and the Six are not losers 

Awful game.  It was so bad that the Sox should have given a refund to those Sox fans in attendance.

No, there was 1 bad inning on defense.

9 bad innings on offense.

Only losers hire a near 80 year old walking corpse to manage their MLB team.

If they lose tomorrow they'll actually be losers at 63-64

Um, they are, by definition of the last few series, and really the entire season, losers.

The White Sox have now scored three runs or less in six of their last nine games and in 64 of the 126 games played so far this season. That's 51%

This offense is simply horrendous, injuries be damned.

White Sox Milestones:

• Tony La Russa still needs one win across the final 36 games to enter 2023 with a winning record as White Sox Manager (currently 678-642 .514).
• AJ Pollock needs seven more plate appearances to vest another $1M in 2023, 57 for $2M, and 107 for $3M.
• Eloy Jimenez needs to appear in six more games to finish with 56 games played, his second highest total with the White Sox.
• Gavin Sheets is 17 games away from doubling the 54 games he played in 2021, but still remains 2 HRs behind his 11 hit in 2021.

White Sox enter tomorrow with 36 games remaining.

• Minnesota is now a game ahead of the White Sox, and also another due to the tie-breaker.
• With a Cleveland win tonight, the White Sox will be 5 Games Back in the Division and Final Wild Card Spot.

Apparently the boos were raining down at the end of the game. TLR was asked about and he said, "They have every right to be upset-at the team, management, whatever, they've got every right to do it."

After winning five straight and moving to within a game of first place they've lost seven of nine and in my opinion are toast.

Maybe they can finish with a winning record but that's a far cry from a "World Series contender."

If they finish with a losing record Hahn will have presided over eight losing seasons in 10 years. How anyone could justify rationally keeping him in his position is beyond me.

Keep in mind while by all accounts TLR and most of this coaching staff should be fired, this organization actually extended Terry Bevington after the Sox collapsed in 1996 after a 40-21 start blowing a wild card position the final month. Bevington by all accounts was incompetent as a manager.

But the fans and the media wanted him gone...JR doesn't like being told what he should do.

There’s no doubt in my mind that if Tony isn’t managing next year, we see a big payroll drop.

That Varsho catch on a hop was ridiculous.  That ball probably goes to the wall when a player tries to catch it on a short hop running toward it and diving.  That was  actually poor judgment by Varsho that worked out for him and kept a run from scoring.  Meanwhile, Romy's ball was a foot or two from going out. Abreu just needed a touch more oomph on the line drive to the gap. Sox seem cursed this season and I am saying that as someone who is kind of agnostic about such things.  Almost every damn close call or break seems to go against us. Engel missing a routine fly last night that cost a game? WTF? 

Yes. It's all just bad luck. White Sox are a contender who are just really unlucky.

it's just sad now man, please stop

All you can do is laugh...from Mark Gonzales' post game story:

"La Russa, however, all but ruled out Robert heading to the 10-day injured list.

“If he gets the weekend off and [with] the day off Monday and all of a sudden he’s ready Tuesday, he’s definitely worth it,” La Russa said."

Left fielder Eloy Jimenez left the game in the ninth, three innings after appearing to limp while running out an infield hit.
