"The soreness will escalate" is also a good 2022 White Sox slogan.

There it is. We've found our 2022 slogan.

Even if the rally falls short - if they keep this alive the final month it at least gives me much more hope and optimism heading into next season (because it really does mean TLR played a pretty huge role in this fiasco). It doesn't mean that there aren't other bigger issues to fix though, cause there are.

Imagine cheating to get this game and then forfeit it anyways.

A Sheets HR on the road ?? It's a sign !

This injury was suffered on August 12. The strategy of not putting him on the IL has allowed him to play in 12 of the team's 28 games since then, with a .194 average and a .515 OPS in 38 plate appearances.

We're all Twins fans now for 4 days starting tomorrow. If they take 3 out of 5 and Sox sweep the Tigers the Sox would be 1 game back heading into the Cle series.

Everyone feels safer when Tony isn't driving.

I mean we don't have to go into desperation mode where these guys pitch every day, but the Cleveland games need to be played like playoff games.

Is Oscar Gonzalez's walk-up song Sponge Bob SquarePants? lmao

Could've been Colas

I seriously might be able to power walk faster than Yaz can run. That was painful to look at

We need ALL 3 in Detroit, no room for error

I think with the news of cedar point retiring the dragster coaster due to safety concerns, they should announce their newest rollercoaster guaranteed to speed thru ERA like nothing else in the world...the Gaddis!

and you get a HR!!!!

Tony's gonna be pissed when he finds out about this.

I’m glad I’m working from home with no meetings this afternoon because I keep hearing about the home runs and yelling, that’s another BOMB!

Yoan homering makes this fanboy very happy.

Soxtalk “No s%*#”

But their main export is crippling depression.

Actually there is nothing great about the city of Cleveland as Joakim Noah once said. Yet what Cleveland does have, is a first place baseball team run by a tremendous owner, front office and field manager. Check out some of these amazing and yet disgusting facts about the Cleveland team this season: They have the 27th payroll in MLB baseball with 66 million. This team currently has 25 of 28 players on their roster under 30 years old. They lead the league in bringing up rookies this season. They brought up 14 rookies from the minors this season. The Guardians will be the 5th club in MLB history to have a winning record through 120 games while having 14 rookies on their roster. Even after taking up the most rookies of any team this year, they haven't depleted their farm system. Before the season started they had a pre-season 12th ranked farm system. Even though they brought up several rookies, they still kept developing all their young prospects in the minors during the season. With the most recent updated farm system ranking, they now have the #3 ranked farm system. Having all this youth and rookies with a such a small payroll is really astounding. The fact they are currently 11 games over 500 and kicking the crap out of the Sox, is a true testament to the fact you need a great owner, front office and manager to be a highly successful winning baseball team. Obviously our arrogant, stubborn and ignorant owner is completely clueless on these facts. I just don't see this sad state of affairs for the Sox to ever have a chance to be successful like the Dodgers, Yankees, Astros, Mets and Braves, until we get a new owner, or Jerry turns it over to his son like he did with the Bulls. I hate the Guardians and as a Sox fan I'm totally pissed and jealous. I can't wait until a new GM and owner run this team. It can't be soon enough!

So will Cairo need to yell at them again today to get them to play hard, or can they figure this one out on their own?

Sometimes you can make up four games in four days, as we did a couple weeks ago. Sometimes your competitor wins 6 in a row and you can't do anything but lose ground, like this week. The math is what it is -- you can imagine a thousand hypothetical scenarios, (and can declare that your hypo is definitive if it makes you feel better), but I'm going to take it day by day. Let's start with cutting the lead to 3 this afternoon.

I guess the good news is that should they lose Thursday, everyone and his brother will finally realize this season is over. The question then will be, what will the organization do about it in the off season?

After yesterday I was really down, but all of those home runs made me giddy .. sure was fun . let's sweep the tigers !!!

Just keep Tony away from this team.

Oscar...*swoon*

Joe nearly sent Yaz to his death there.

This game reminds me of when we clinched the division last year. I think we hit like 5 homers off Civale.

Shut him down for the season, he isn't helping a bit and can only hurt the wrist more, wrist injuries can be very tricky and sometimes take a long time to heal, I speak from experience.

I realize this board only exists to collectively hate on every White Sox thing imaginable, but can we all take a second to recognize that Dylan is probably the best RH starter in the history of the franchise? Can we maybe take a second to celebrate that? The kid should be a White Sox legend. In his prime, he's better than Blackjack and he probably has the best repertoire of pitches in Sox history. He's just so incredibly nasty.

Let’s at least make them sweat and feel the heat. And beat the living daylights out of them to take the wind out of their sails in the playoffs!

that was huge..

Sox are survivors, they not gonna give up, keep on survivin'..

HE DID IT!!!!!

I hope Grandal retires after this season

It's unbelievable how bad this team is at the simplest things. And for some reason it always shows up against Cleveland.

"I don't care whose ball that is it's a popup 5 feet down the first base line. The Catcher, the first baseman, the pitcher, the third baseman, the Center Fielder, someone's got to get that". "It's been happening too often here in crunch time, those are just playst hat need to be made" That's a frustrated DJ.

Leury’s like “that guy’s pretty good.”

Should have been IL’d looooong ago.

Yesterday's showing was just woeful . Cleveland seems to want this more . I feel like the Sox don't have what it takes to get the job done this year.

I went to college in Ohio and never met one person from Cleveland....they all lived in some mythical land called "Shaker Heights". My point is, much like the R.O.U.S., I don't think Cleveland even exists.

Guards are throwing RHP Hunter Gaddis on the mound. Dude has had one MLB start this season in which he gave up 8 earned runs in 3 and a third innings. Cleveland must know the Sox are excellent at turning bad minor league pitchers into one-day Cy Young candidates. Lynn has to bring his A-stuff today. Hopefully the bats explode. Today is a must-win.

Still Cleveland……

McDowell could only dream of doing the s%*# that cease is doing right now. Hell I would put Fernandez higher than McDowell in the stuff category. I loved Blackjack back in the day but Cease is on another planet
