what a magical season this has been

I hate Magic. My family used to go to a Christmas brunch at this hotel. Occasionally they'd have a strolling magician and I'd always go to the bathroom when I saw him strolling our way.

I'm now openly rooting against these losers.  God I hate this organization.

Jake Burger is the most unathletic infielder in baseball. 

Thought that honor belonged to Vaughn 

Twins bottom of the order: 6 Buxton (.707) 7 Farmer (.710), 8 Vazquez (.584) 9 Taylor (.681)

White Sox bottom of the order: 6 Burger (.791) 7 Andrus (.571) 8 Colas (.488) 9 Zavala (.516)

Eloy better move or score Robert here.

I hate pinch running for Eloy in a 1 run game.

Got away with what amounted as a bunt instead of DP.

Problem is bullpen can't hold any lead.  Especially on the road.

He's crippled, should be on the 60 day IL if he isn't traded by the deadline.

Come on Jake. Please don't strikeout!

Terrific clutch hitting as usual

Sheets PH is an auto out.

That might've looked worse 

Just too many big holes in this lineup

Burger only has three sac flies in his entire career.

Crazy.

 

Book is hard and in/up on Burger apparently.

This offense truly sucks

F-in pathetic as usual

Twins 4-9 w/RISP, Sox 1-8 w/RISP.  Ballgame.

This is a main reason why they're such a bad team and suck in extra innings. They cannot get productive at bats when it counts. So bad with RISP.

Seems so long since Sheets and Leury starred against Houston.

We had 2005, 2008 and 2021 beating the Twins.

That's basically three years in two decades.

Sigh.

Sox seem beholden to Sheets and Elvis because they are good guys....terrible baseball players but good guys.

yeah another example of our dumb ass manager..

Hopeless...

I saw an article on Victor Reyes hitting well in Charlotte. He's a switch hitter and only 28. Why not give him Sheets spot? I know he would need to be added to the 40 man but Sheets is beyond useless.

Burger is strong...

 

but he lacks what most of our players lack

 

intelligence and discipline at the plate.

 

They seem to teach these guys to be fucking stupid.. i have no other explanation.
