The guys on the team and the organization clearly love Vasil and want him around and we got people whining about him being in the dugout and a wand. Just hilarious.

I mean it seems obvious to me. If he was a Dbag, he wouldn't be around.

    Making it about himself? His teammates bought him the stupid wand. They absolutely love the dude and what he’s doing. Absolutely bizarre that Sox fans are trying to make this into something that it

    Well seems to be a huge factor of the team bonding and having as much fun as they are.

The dugout antics by Vasil are just a distraction, especially during a losing streak. Vasil shouldn't even be in the dugout.

A fun distraction like one of the most positive dudes to ever don a Sox uniform waving a magic wand around and having the temperament of a golden retriever is a good thing, you want guys loose and not wringing their hands over losing 2 games in a row to one of if not the best team in the league.

Hopefully it doesn't go to game 7 - gonna be cutting it close as its on Halloween

The Vasil thing somehow manages to be both obnoxiously played out and still a fun story.

Kinda like the pope thing.

Maybe Leasure inherits wand duties after Vasil returns to pitching next season

If Jordan is gonna step in for the 2027 season I would like him to step it up a notch and dress like Wizzo from the Bozo show.

Thanks for taking one for the tean Ron. You remind me a little of Vic Hedges. He saved my life back in the 60's.

Hopefully he's a starter next season; I was expecting him to start this season (but I think they were keeping him in relief).

With what happened to Carela Bush Berroa Larson Thorpe don't get your hopes up too high for the first half of 2027...

Counting on guys in their first year back post TJS is just ignorant of history.

Grow a sack, wizard. My son just full thickness tore his ACL for the second time at age 18 and asked his head coach to play through it for the season, just as he asked Coach Q in his junior year at Brother Rice to play through his first full ACL tear. He was politely declined for the second time.

He is currently aimlessly walking around the St. Norbert College campus in frustration. Sucks but it is what it is. There’s always next year. The doctor asked him how he was even walking around without severe pain…

Because he the toughest m*ther f*cker I know. And no, as opposed to the norm, I am not tougher than my son…

I hate this photo but at the same time it is the most honest depiction of the most utter frustration of all time after receiving his MRI results.

f*** everything.

I have shared many pics of my son and his journey through football at every level. I’m sure he would love any feedback or advice from everyone on this site through his tough journey back.

Sorry in advance for posting this in the wrong forum, but, yeah…

It will be interesting to see how he is used in 2028 either as a starter or relief.

Magic Wand Night!

Sox start kicking butts and taking names, it's Friday Night at the Rate.

Doggone, very sorry to hear that, WS2023. It's evident that you're super-proud of that guy, and rightfully so! I can tell you that my outlook on difficult things like this is influenced a lot by my faith, and my belief that God has a plan for each of us. Often it's hard for us to see how something could possibly fit into that plan, but we try to trust that, somehow, it's part of a bigger story that's still unfolding, page by page, out in front of us. I don't mean to sound preachy in that regard, as I'm not exactly what you'd call a super-religious guy, but I offer those thoughts for what they may be worth. Without going into details, I can relate, at least in part, to the frustration and disappointment you're both experiencing, as one of my sons, years ago, had his athletic dreams cut short by recurring knee injuries. He's now 43, and rooting for his younger cousin Sammy A. We all wish your son the very best going forward! It will all work out!

You can't control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it. I have definitely seen a lot of stories about injuries being a journey into coaching, or even just sitting and watching a game that you played for all of your life, and learning it at a whole other level from the outside.

And to be fully honest, the odds were near zero he was ever going to get paid to play football anyway, so this might be the worlds way of getting him on the track to whatever he is going to do as a professional for the rest of his life. No it isn't easy, but neither is life.

Exactly, I told his mom this and I told him this as well last night. He doesn’t cry from pain but he cried because he knows what this injury means. He feels he is letting his team down, ever since high school when he tore his ACL junior year with Brother Rice. He felt the same way.

At some point, you have to worry about your own livelihood and career after college. No one needs three knee surgeries before they turn 21, especially if he wants to get into law enforcement which is what he wants to do.

I told him he has likely already reached the pinnacle of his sports career anyways, being one of only two Brother Rice teams (1981 and 2025) to win a state championship in the school’s existence. And I have it all recorded like Lip and old classic White Sox games. 😉

Like I said, I know its not easy, but you don't really have a choice at some point either. 2 ACLs is a really bad sign.
