Think if we win the wild card, we'll get to the ALCS. Momentum goes a long way

Change that if to when 😎

Probably won't win against either Texas teams, but lets see what happens.

All this effort to get 3 shitty away games that we have to take PTO to watch. f*** the fans I guess. Networks cant have 2 games at the same.

Bring em on!!!

Planet Houston will not be fun

FWIW, FanGraphs has our odds of making the LDS at 45.5%.

Our odds were pretty damn low to make the playoffs. Lets roll with it...

Our Sox have surprised us all year. It's gonna be the Astros and we just have to beat them. They're not so great, they can't be beat. Our Sox seem to have canceled out all the past jinxes, so why not a playoff series win in Houston. LET'S FUCKING GO!

Would rather play Texas instead of Houston in their dumb ass ballpark, but Sox have surprised me all year so I think they can pull off a series victory. And then hopefully the time off cools off the stupid ass Guardians.

Does optioning players down matter at all today? I wouldnt think so. I would call up Thorpe, Cannon, McDougal and Smith and option whoever you can.

Guards have never been able to translate their in season success to any kind of real post season success. Like I said, I think we get to the ALCS.

Also don't discount that Will has apprenticed under the greatest post season manager of all time in Bruce Bochy. He knows a thing or two.

Astros are starting Lambert today on 2 days rest. Their plan would probably then be Brown on 3 days rest for game 1.

Poster at Crawfish Boxes

on whether it's the worst playoff team in modern history?

"Hard to say. They were one of the better AL teams from June onwards. But we can all see the holes in the roster. Left Field is a bit of a black hole. As is CF, even with Spence doing big things this weekend. And RF - too many strikeouts by Cam. A killer with runner on third and less than 2 outs. Correa would be a help, but where would he play? And the bullpen. Okert would certainly help. (Former Sox) Sousa is either good or bad, and way too bad lately. De Los Santos is unplayable. Abreu is not a sure thing. King was great in early season and is 50/50 now. Imai has the stuff, but when bad, he is unplayable. And for leverage situations - those walks. I admire the fight the team has shown all season - that part plays well for Espada. But the roster just isn't good enough. A series win in the playoffs would feel like a major achievement."

2005 rematch. Sox beat them then and will beat them now ! LFG White Sox fans ! Sox Pride ! Ditch the past ! Embrace Mune Mania !

I'll be watching more Rangers & Astros than White Sox today I think . hoping that we play the Rangers . I lived in Dallas for several years and went to a ton of Ranger games . never did much like Houston.

We're on at 4 PM for all 3 games on NBCSN

4 central doesn't work for me. I'm going to miss all three games, this is so sad.

With the pitching situation that's a real possibility. Just hope to get a win, not get swept and send it to a game three, where anything can happen.

Considering this team lost 102 games last year, even being in the playoffs is a major accomplishment. But yeah, I hope they win at least 1 of the first 2 games.

After 1959, there have been only 2 seasons where the Sox won more than one game in postseason (1993 and 2005). That's pretty sad when you think about it.

That might end up helping us a bit if we face them. Facing guys who aren't use to the shorter rest this late in the season

astros up 4-0 rangers losing 3-1

Well HOU here we come

Bring em on. This team fears nobody.
