bmags Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Wanted to discuss the Meidroth slide. Me? I’m in favor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Teel is for real. Meidroth is exceptional. Will make us forget Ozzie at ss or Iguchi at 2B wherever he plays 15 years. It seems like the Sox have led early in a ton of games this season. I betcha compared to last year it's monumental how many times the Sox have led after 1 or 2 innings.

Falstaff Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 The slide was an instant classic Chase gets on Base Teel is the Real Deal Vasil can Dazzle....OK , I think that's just about enough of that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Nice to see a late inning rally. Teel is looking better each game. Meidroth is turning out to be a steal considering he was essentially the third piece in the Crochet trade. Vasil locking it down with a 5-out save was awesome. Despite the record, this team is getting to be fun to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilehoopster Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Thanks for starting this thread. I've been wanting to say this. With winning this series, the Sox have made me the happiest that they have in a long time. Back in spring training, the Sox were playing the Giants and there must have only been a Giants feed for me to listen to: so I was listening to the Giants announcers and during the game, these Giants announcers had such a total disdain, contempt for the White Sox players and organization, it was just so obvious and insulting. It's hard for me to remember a solid example of what they were saying, but it was pretty much stuff like, "Well, with an at-bat like that you can see how they had the worst offense in baseball last year." Or stuff like, "They lost 121 last year and with these kinds of plays on defense, you can see how." Or maybe, "The set the record for losses last year and they've done nothing to improve that record for this year" (That topic came up a lot.). It just struck me as incredible that these announcers kept saying stuff like that, and what made me even more angry, is that the Sox, at that time when I tuned in, had a lineup loaded with minor league guys, not their regular guys. So, as soon as I turned it off, I went and looked on the schedule and was glad to see that the Sox were playing the Giants, and I was immediately looking forward to the series. Every time I'd be watching the Sox and a Giants' score would come up, I was looking forward to this series. Well, thank your White Sox for coming through for me and winning this series. As yesterday's game was winding down in the 9th with the Giants' last couple at bats in the 9th, I turned on the Giants radio feed just so I hear those same announcers. It was somewhat satisfying to hear them (they couldn't give the Sox any credit) complain about bad at-bats (ironically) and what a tough week it's been and that the Giants need to turn it around before their next series. So, thank your again for starting this thread so I could point out a little bit of pride for me and our White Sox fans, and one more time complement the team for winning this series against a good team, just a team not as good as their radio announcers would like to think. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great post. I used to feel this way you describe. But like I've said before the Sox accomplished an amazing feat in my life: Made me not care about how they fare on a daily basis. Considering how big a fan I was I shudder to think how many fans in Chicago actually care about the White Sox right now. Not many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dreamin Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 This was win #28 for the season. The 2024 White Sox didn't get their 28th win until August 6th against the A's. This was the 8th series win of the season. The 2024 White Sox won 9 (?) series all year and 3 of those were in September. Also: The White Sox scored as many runs in the getaway game as the Giants did all series (5). They also held the Giants without a HR for the series. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they got their 27th win on July 10! 🤣🤣🤣 That’s pretty remarkable, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there is the trade frenzy but that is always above removing in hopes of someday getting better. For the north side it's about acquiring to get better. There are buyer and there are cellars. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falstaff Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 The Sox are 20-11 against the Giant's in interleague play. Plus, the Sox have a World Series win against the Giants. "In the words of Les Grossman, Go F yourself" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 The Dodgers will give Miguel Vargas a 2024 World Series ring during the White Sox’s visit to Los Angeles starting this Tuesday. Vargas was traded on July 29, 2024, in a three-team deal involving the Dodgers, White Sox, and Cardinals. — Francys Romero (@francysromeroFR) July 1, 2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
