He's been brutal.Grich needs to be playing everyday at this point. I'd move Meidroth to SS and Sam to 2B if Colson is unavailable.Agreed, but that makes our defense worse sadly
4 hours ago4 hr Just got back from physical therapy.Glad I missed this again.Welcome to second place.5-12 in the last 18 games.Tom Petty's song, "Free Fallin'" is going through my mind.Again a starter is only able to go four innings which put a strain on an overworked bullpen.And yet AGAIN another clutch two out RBI hit kills them.Now they face a hot Tigers team back in the race.I'm sorry but these guys look D.O.A.Just somehow scrape together five more wins, call it a winning season and head to the golf course.
4 hours ago4 hr This team is toast. No playoffs. The Tigers could very well beat them 4 in a row. Almost every one of them looks scared and are just waiting to lose. Like others here have mentioned the worst part of this collapse is now there is very little to look forward to next season. Most everyone has looked like trash down the stretch and no one has stepped up.

Even if the Sox go 4-6 ROS, it would require the Jays to go 7-3 or better and/or the Rangers to go 7-4 or better. For each game better than 4-6 for the Sox, it becomes nearly impossible for the Jays or Rangers to pass them. Backing into the 6 seed would be disappointing, but it would legit be hard for the Sox to not make the playoffs. Edited 4 hours ago4 hr by ChiSox59

These guys are choking hard and fast.

I think they’re just totally gassed.

Backing into the 6 seed would be disappointing, but it would legit be hard for the Sox to not make the playoffs.My thinking as well. It would take an epic fail and the others to play well. Do you Sox take less than a split in the KC and Rockies series? I seriously doubt the Tigers sweep a 4 game series. This series absolutely sucked but the Sox showed more life than I expected them to.

They’re in full on choke mode and have almost an entire roster of guys performing badly.

They don't scare me. I still think the White Sox will pass them and finish in first place.I’m also still looking at it as our team controlling their destiny. We need to get on a roll and see a return of the good times like nobody’s business.
4 hours ago4 hr 5 minutes ago, fathom said:But with the way they’re playing, there’s no guarantee they even wind up with 81 wins. I think they’re just totally gassed.I agree. I think winning the division is probably not in our favor, but I don't expect the Sox to go 3-7 against Det, KC and Colorado. Is it possible? Sure. I think 6-7 wins is far more likely, though.

Well, we've won a total of 5 games in September. Cleveland didn't even play that well and they're now alone in first place. Turns out your schedule doesn't matter when the offense just collapses onto itself. And in the past 2 days, I guess it's the bullpen's turn to collapse.
