forget them astros. Burke against someone called "Gusto". I like our chances given how it's been going. Keep playing our core guys it's the meat of the season now.

Before the old people get excited, the game is at 7:10 not 6:10.

That's fine, I'm scheduled to tell people to get off my lawn from 6:00 to 7:00....I might have to miss the last 2 innings though.

If my kids baseball practice gets cancelled tonight, I might try to get out to this one.

I usually get home plate seats from my company for Sox games but our owner forgot which Chicago team I liked and gave me those tickets for the Cubs game in a few weeks. When I reminded him im a White Sox fan he said "Oh sorry that's right, ask me again when they come to town, I can't even give those tickets away."

Sox are winning today

Was he saying sorry for messing up the tickets or to you being a White Sox fan?  🤔

Thanks for correcting me on the time. My brain refuses to believe that Houston and Chicago share a similar longitude.

Both lol. He actually offered to fix his mistake but the Sox games are all in the middle of the week and the Cubs game is a Friday night fireworks game so I just kept those since my kids would enjoy that better anyways.

There are not enough emojis to describe how much I love that picture.

Viva La Papa!!!!

This game is probably for the series. 

They face Valdez tomorrow, and he's been very good lately. Wins in 5/6 since they saw him in Chicago, and the other game was a ND after 8IP 1ER.

Gusto should be an easier matchup, especially if they keep working counts.

Wait, your brain mistakenly tells you Houston is EAST of Chicago?!?!

Maybe a better shot at Valdez but I'll be happy with 2/3.  Oh hell, sweep them.....again.

I screwed it up both ways after a six pack and a joint last night.

Brutal lineup tonight, woof

What the hell is with the getaway day lineup today?

If they play like they have lately...they can beat anyone any night.

No clue. Palacios is going to continue to screw Teel/Quero out of ABs and it’s annoying. I can tell this is going to be a continued issue with Venables lineup construction. Capra has no business on a major league roster, give his ABs to Baldwin at the least.  

Palacios is cleanup again. Make it stop please.

Eh, I get it?

Teel is probably ticketed for his first off day tomorrow against a tough lefty, so Quero gets his today. Probably comes in to hit later.

That slides Benni to DH, and Palacios into LF because of the RH starter.

Meidroth is due for an off day too, and while I'd rather have Brooks up here, that's not up to Will. And Sosa's hurt, so it is what it is.

Yea problem is we have so little talent at 1B and DH that sitting some of the premium defenders (and they do need rest) puts us in a bad spot. We've gotta upgrade DH one of these years. 

Maybe Palacios and Rojas are going away tomorrow and this is their parting gift? Sox have liked to do that this year!

No fucking way........

Schriffdog, please stop bringing up the swing change. It's been long enough.

Tauchmann is in free fall.
