I'd like to start off this gamethread that few will probably join to say if Rick Hahn uses the word injury or injuries in the 1st minute of his end of the year press conference.....he can F$%# all the way off.

Oh, by the way, today's pitching matchup is Lucas Giolito vs Louie "tip your cap" Varland.

Loser is in third place.

Giolito will just don't do it just fine.

There are them here that predicted a 3rd place finish.

And I thought they were just silly.

Will someone please pass the egg remover for my face?

Regarding Harold's Leg Lift's post an hour ago on the 4th and final page of last night's game thread:

It is a hypothetical presser....would not be surprised if he tries to cancel that and any appearance at SoxFest.

This latest streak has demonstrated a few things. Yes, injuries hurt this team. But I also think many of us over-estimated this team. The White Sox are average at best, and, if they keep playing the string out like this, they will be below average. A healthy 2023 team does not guarantee a winning season. FO needs to face up to that. The fans have.

If Hahn shows his face at Soxfest, I say he should be dodging high and tight Ballpark frankfurters all de live long day.

Heavy sigh.

Most of the national media over-estimated this team. A lot of us locals did not. This team will never fight for what it may deserve.

There's enough talent on this squad that if they're the healthiest team in the league like people demand that they should be, that will probably put them in a winning season.

Does that put them into first place in the division? Maybe. Cleveland is younger and better than people gave them credit for, and the other 3 teams could easily take steps forwards next year.

Being the healthiest team in the AL should be enough to put them into the wild card at least. 

F it lose them all and get a little bit better of a pick and more pool money.

Anyone still watching is going to watch anyway win or lose as they have been unwatchable since mid April.

Baby Moncada is out of lineup again, resting his boo boo while he waits for a pink foot guard to go with his shoes.

 

Cleveland might win 90. Respect

Yep, don't waste a fine Kosher dog on that schmuck.

"Hold the phone, I didn't think about the more pool money.  Time to start winning again."

If Hahn shows up at Sox fest, the first question he should be asked by a fan is this, "Mr. Hahn the Sox have had eight losing seasons in the 10 years you've been the G.M. why should any fan believe anything you say moving forward about the future of this team?"

Man people still watching. Haven't watched in 2 weeks

How sad and pathetic this team expected by everyone before the season and even during a good portion of the season to win the central division, could lose this afternoon their 9th in a row for a three sweep, falling to third place and possibly 12 games back form Cleveland. 

And Rick Hahn deserves to keep his job for what reason again....?

You know, every time I find myself at a point with the White Sox where I can not cope, I take dope.

Pineapple Express, take me away.

Go you White Sox!

Sheesh, when will this nightmarish losing streak end? At a time when the White Sox could have made a huge step forward against Cleveland, they pooped in their pants. Since then they have continued to suffer a very bad case of diarrhea with no end in sight. I would like to see them win today but certainly not expecting it.

I don’t want to insult anyone, but this team isn’t even trying. Investing time and money at the ballpark is worse, but it isn’t much less insulting to your pride to watch on TV. Unless the entertainment value is in self harm.
