9 hours ago9 hr Truce.The playoffs are a reality now. The Sox are in it, we all just watched a young, fun team do something none of us could have truly predicted.Let’s bury grudges, arguments, resentment until the playoffs are over. That doesn’t mean don’t argue, that doesn’t mean put on a happy face about everything. That means things that have been going back and forth for 8 months stops until the playoffs are over. Forget what that person said in March, ignore the doom predictions made after the brewers series, and for gods sake let’s keep getz employed for a few more weeks. I’m not calling out anyone in specific, I am certainly guilty of both being incredibly pessimistic and bringing up old s%*#. It doesn’t have to be forever, let’s just enjoy the end of this summer ride into October and try to be a united front.Deal?

Like I said they have a winning season, they are in the playoffs.Anything over and above this is gravy, even if it means just winning a single post season game.

9 hours ago9 hr I noticed that there are alot of unsold tickets on ticketmaster for the playoffs. Playing these games during the afternoon during the week can't help selling these tickets. The games should be played at night time.
9 hours ago9 hr I was going to post an animated gif of Cartman from South Park saying “FU Kyle” but I thought better of it and will instead agree to your terms. Edited 9 hours ago9 hr by WhiteSox2023

When you have four games going on the same day there's no choice but to play some in the afternoon.It sucks the Sox are probably going to be stuck in the afternoon since NBC has already announced they are putting Red Sox/Yankees in prime time with Benetti doing the play by play and it also probably sucks the Sox are going to be stuck having to play on Peacock the pay streaming service but it is what it is.

9 hours ago9 hr No. You all must worship at the altar of St. Getz and change your profile pic to match mine. The cult must propagate!

That doesn't mean John is good, it just means that I didn't/don't enjoy Jason.The networks apparently disagree, as I don’t see Schriffen being offered the same big opportunities that Benetti is receiving. That’s all I really need to know. But everyone can have their opinions of course. Edited 8 hours ago8 hr by WhiteSox2023

I didn't get him at first, but really fell in love with him, and have definitely become more willing to embrace my own inner geek when I broadcast because of him.

I think he is too goofy to call anything meaningful or important.

I don’t think he makes any partner better, so I’m not sure I’d judge either guy on their performances solely with Stone.
