Might as well put the important things in the gamethread title.

Italian Beef vs. Burnt Ends is today's matchup.

Discuss

It’s hard for me to believe Chicago is known more for pizza that will give you an immediate heart attack and hot dogs without ketchup that the Italian beef.

The Italian Beef/Sausage combo are the hosts for the series btw.  The Burnt Ends are the visitors. 

Hopefully, another notch in the 2023 White Sox goal of 100 losses this season.

Let us lose 100 games!

Hopefully it won't be for another 57 Jerry years.

My mistake... though... will it matter?

Burnt Ends all the way, on that choice.

What a terrible series of baseball ahead!

Deivi Garcia getting the call up

Carlos Perez is back too. Edgar Navarro and Colas out.

In the matter of whose local cuisine is superior, yes, as Italian Beef/Chicago Dogs/Tavern Cut pizza >>>.  As for the baseball being played, not in the least. 

Would be funny if Rick Hahn shows up today and addressed the media as a ticket holding fan on the 100 level concourse.

Funnier if he did so while drinking a fifth of bourbon.

Even better drinking the bourbon and pulling out a gun Joe Pesci Goodfellas Spider Scene style as peeps do these days at Comiskey Park II.

Dance Bruce.

 

I wonder if there is going to be a game this evening. Its raining hard  and the forecast for tonight isn't good.

KC seems to be a feeder team for us

Might as well get Salvador Perez introduced to our team culture ahead of time.

PPD.  DH on Tuesday.

18 innings of September baseball between two sub .400 teams. The promotion has to be "S & M Night", doesn't it?

Report to the shower on the LF concourse and get chained and whipped.

Who could to resist such a scintillating battle of the bad?

Two teams with rich traditions

Why even play this game? It means less than nothing.

Worth more to drive it across to Michigan for the dime a can

I think next year the Royals and Sox flip flop records. Sox lucky to win 50-53 games.

If they don't go out and get at least three decent starting pitchers it's possible.
