Trying too hard to inspire the rest of the team to fight back...?

Which would be admirable until it becomes farcical given the game situation and already in scoring position.

LH bats are pointless when they hit less than .215 or can't bunt.

Too bad the NL has the DH and the Sox could have the pitcher bat 2nd as well.

What is the point of Payton?

Typical Chicago team scrub that is added to win a meaningless game or 2 at the tail end of the season to annoy tank fans

Andrus is really earning himself a contract for next year...even though it's probably not the wisest move of all time to base it on a hot streak.

There are a lot of “Most White Sox thing (or things) ever”. That would be one of them.

Payton was completely overmatched by Clevinger.  Not a good sight.

Andrus is better than Big Energy.

Beats me.  He looked terrible at the plate tonight.

What in the hell are the Padres wearing?

Looks like they think they are on South Beach instead of SoCal.  On the broadcast one of the announcers said it was the Don Johnson look , presumably Miami Vice look.

I still don't get the Joe Kelly signing...the injured Joe Kelly signing. 

Particularly combined with not signing a good LH outfielder.

Those are their "City Connect" uniforms. I don't know how many teams have them, but SD's have to be the worst I've seen...... by a lot. I always thought it was cool that they did the cammo unis on Sunday.  That is a good look and homage to the military presence in SD.

The White Sox have now scored three runs or less in 50% of all games played this year. 79 times in 158 games.

They have to win their remaining four games to finish over .500 at 82-80.

From supposed "World Series" contender to this.

WOW!

If the season was two weeks longer the Cubs would catch them in the win column.

The bigger priority was signing outfielders who can field the position.

The next priority was overall hitting.

The third priority was signing a LH hitter.

Hahn failed at step number one.

Trying to go for the Miami feeling...more about as a tourist destination, the zoo and Sea World, etc.

Moncada is 0 for 10 with 8 strikeouts vs. Snell. So he bats 2nd. Sorry Miguel, you are no longer a candidate.

Fricken Padres are in. Wanted them to choke

At least they kept making moves until they had a team there was no way to deny even if less than the sum of all its individual parts.

Holy s%*# the Atlanta fan phone thing is nuts when an opposing pitcher is yanked.
