Let me introduce you to my friend

Years from now, you will ask your friends where they were when Voodoo Cane Guy flipped the series for the good guys

No need for that man. Just beat them on the field.

I'm not saying it's Voodoo Cane Guy. But it's Voodoo Cane Guy.

Abreu! Who else thought it was a 6-4-3

The White Sox had a 71% chance of winning the game up 4-2 is a pretty good response to the “it’s only the players the manager is blameless” stuff.

So far TLR has been amazingly underwhelming this post season, considering that was what he was brought in for, his 'experience' has not helped the Sox improve on last year in the post season.

Gonna need cane guy in attendance tomorrow so he can work his magic on Carlos' shoulder.

Not only have I been a member of this board longer than you, you have no basis at all for your claim you’ll be here longer than me. It’s just more childish BS that you’re known for. You’re right though, I tried to interact with you and you’re still the same guy you’ve always been so I’ve learned my lesson.

They saved the season. Nearly 4 innings of shutout ball when it looked like our pitching was gonna give up 15 runs this game.

Stop worrying so much about tomorrow

I just want to point out that on that Grandal play, the Astros were accusing another team of violating the rules to gain an advantage and maybe that's a dose of karma.

Hendriks for 6?

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

The way the Sox played in the second half, no one should be surprised by this for shit performance in this series.

La Russa fucked us in game 2, but him and Katz aren’t to blame for Cease shitting his pants on the big stage.

Haven't really posted in a number of months as i've moved back to Florida, got new job(s) and I am eagerly anticipating my first child, but wanted to chime in that I still haven't lost hope. We get the two here and then maybe the ball bounces our way for Game 5. We can take the Red Sox or Rays if we can get past the Astros! While I've hated a TON of moves (kimbrel trade, cesar trade, TLR signing, Keuchel signing), I've had a ton of fun following the team this year again. I hope tonights not the last, but if it is, cheers to them and all the fellow soxtalkers. OK have a good game thread.

Open up your eyes people. Since Ron joined Soxtalk, the Sox have not won a playoff series. They have a 1-4 postseason record in that time. I trust the moderators to take the appropriate action.

He was on pace for 4 fWAR season. So yeah, you’re wrong.

Except for the games he's already played and been better than replacement level? Weird post.

Dusty outmanaged himself. He overmanaged his bullpen and it totally backfired.

Thomas Francis Hallion (born September 5, 1956) is the absolute worst American umpire in Major League Baseball (MLB) who has worked in the National League (NL) from 1985 to 1999 and throughout both major leagues since 2005. He was the Most Valuable Player for the Chicago White Sox in game 3 of the 2021 ALDS for legalizing baserunners to run anywhere on the field if they are attempting to deflect throws. Looks like someone’s mad at Tom Hallion.?

This team is just a totally different team at home, I'm positive the Sox would've beaten HOU if they had HFA

If this doesn't work out, TLR should be fired before he even leaves the dugout.

All I gotta say is if they throw Kimbrel in the 8th, don't leave Leury out in RF.

Kimbrel is getting warm now, hold on to your butts....

There's a chance there is no tomorrow if Kimbrel pitches the 8th tonight

also, I just wanna say, I wouldn't be upset if an Astros fan got knocked the fuck out tonight in the stands

Alright I like being here again

Maybe the acronym didn't translate properly. Just shut the fuck up already.

Now pull Leury and put in Engel for defense.

At least Robert is a stud, even if counting to four is a struggle.

Why? He's being fair. The Sox are just playing like crap right now.

This. We know he likes the team. We can rip them but he can't? Just lol.

Man, if only Cease got to face AL Central teams in the playoffs

this organization is just infuriating, we are really prisoners to this franchise. The White Sox treat their fans like Squid Game treats their players.

Spending all the money needed to sign Semein would be more proof those saying replacing Madrigal is easy are full of shit.

Yeah gtfo here with that. This is Soxtalk!

Start drinking for the first time in 2 years. My team needs me...

Miss me yet?

Hard to win with a rookie CF, a catcher who is a worse hitter than many pitchers, a banged up RF, your league batting champ with 1 hit in 2 games, and with your best starter sidelined the whole year for TJS.

Don’t pinch hit your best defensive right fielder for the worst hitter on your bench.

The risk is worth a 5'6 slap hitting defensive hack with a torn hamstring. Madrigal is very replaceable. He'll never be better than replacement level.

great article https://soxmachine.com/2021/10/09/tony-la-russa-isnt-helping-white-sox-who-may-be-beyond-it/

From someone on the same path: no.

I think it’s just bad luck with bummer, for Kimbrel… the home runs are inexcusable. He has been garbage.

You've convinced me to change my point of view here. Unban Parkman and ban caulfield.
