In the battle of Carlos, Sox LHP Carlos Rodon, who has been very sharp lately, takes on Indians RHP Carlos Carrasco, who has had a very good season.

 

I feel like this point of the year (September, Sox out of the playoff race) is the time we Sox fans take for granted. In mid-December, when the Bears are 3-11, the Hawks are struggling without Kane/Sharp/Saad, and Derrick Rose is out for 6 months with a knee injury, we'll wish we had any White Sox baseball- even an unimportant game like this.

This post is so true. I attend a ton of games, and it gets pretty hard to go during a season like this beginning for me around the middle of August, but once Labor Day rolls around, I get a second wind knowing how I would love to be at a baseball game in a couple of months.

No Johnson, but the Olt experiment continues.

Any chance this gets played?

Well, I guess that settles that.

If Rodon doesn't give up multiple home runs we have a chance

Off to the game. Better not be canceled when I get there

Yeah.. what else is he going to say. Not that he doesn't mean it. He doesn't want to fail and I understand.

 

 

And of f***ing course they announce delayed game by an hour.

Sounds like they are starting on time.

How weird, they did a first pitch, and then had a rain delay? I can't say I have ever seen that one before.

They do that all the time. The rain delay was announced 15-20 minutes before the first pitches.

Scheduled start is 810

This is worthy of its own thread. Baseball is my favorite sport. Being in a warm climate I don't watch the NFL and I've been a Colts fan since the post Unitas days. I don't care for basketball and I miss the Blackhawks but after another losing disappointing Sox season you feel empty when it's over. 2005 on the other hand the season was longer and it didn't end until after the parade and you wanted 2006 to start right away.

I pissed I missed the AZL Sox win and they are in my backyard. Local baseball is extended around here. You see kids playing night games late in October. I should go watch little kids play. Great post.

It is a contract. Besides they'll replace him with another former player or someone with no experience.

 

I wish Robin would tell more guys to hit home runs.

Rob Brantly 3-run HR

Aww, they didn't give Brantly the silent treatment.

Brantly!

Aww, they didn't give Brantly the silent treatment.

It's his 5th career HR

Aww, they didn't give Brantly the silent treatment.

 

Was that his first career?

It's his 5th career HR

Oh. Had no idea, my bad.

The Sox do seem to like Brantly.
