Somebody musta been tippin and the Mariners had a game plan based on it ?

Hey…. Cool…. Trades are finally starting. ?

Oh darn. ?

22 innings. 0 runs. What… 3 hits??? Please come explain @Rolle Tide to these fools who clearly are not able to comprehend that those numbers are not good enough to be called an ace.

Yea it’s the third time we’ve seen his velo drop at the end of a performance near the 60 pitch mark… Previous two times he’s bounced back strong. Let’s hope that trend continues… otherwise if he comes out of the gate with low velo next start, I think he should be given extra rest.

If we lost every game 1-0 or 2-1 or 3-2 every night for the rest of the season, I’d be happy. f*** this team where the sun don’t shine. ?

Too bad my savior and fallen angel the sweet sweet profit @Rolle Tide told me he isn’t an ace. My guy Cease sure would look good on the O’s right about now. ? *cough* asshats *cough*

Big Frank is going off on the post game. Love it. Toss Pedro’s ass now and put Frank down there just to get up in everyone’s business. ?

Oh that’s right… let’s do this!

Yea, that’s true as well. If it wasn’t allowed from the start the stand off and conflict wouldn’t have occurred. I fault Hahn, admire LaRoche’s integrity, and think he had a right to be upset. Bottom line: I’m glad they’re both gone.

GET HIM OUTTA HERE. In all seriousness, I respect LaRoche. Walking away from millions of dollars in a demonstration placing your son over money like that is commendable.

Oh where oh where is our overlord @Rolle Tide? My heart is still broken and pining.

This would be a cool three team framework: White Sox get: Prospects from Team X and Baltimore Baltimore gets: Robert and Crochet or Fedde Team X gets: Cedric Mullins

And I didn’t think they’d be able to match their 17 game streak from the first half. Looking possible after all. ?

Same list I had with Boston and Baltimore flipped… but you’re probably right. ?

Hopefully they can get Cesar Prieto finally.

Poor dude.

Funny because those are the two I had thought of as us most likely landing.

Sure hope so… they deserve that “honor”.

Hell yea. ??

Wow - that was awful.

If you can’t laugh at yourself life is harder. ? Relative to the other horseshit I’ve posted here in the last twenty years, this kick is tame. ??

This thread will not be complete until it is graced with our amazing overlord, @Rolle Tide.

With the state of this team and with the state of this franchise, I figured we should devote a post to some of our most personal favorite memories related to the Chicago White Sox. I’ll start… Back in 2012 my Dad had a health scare. We thought he may only be around for a couple more months and I was living out of state. We’re from California. I flew Dad out to Chicago and flew in from Washington to meet him. Booked us a room for a week near Navy Pier and got us seats for two series, seven games in total. Being born in the early 80’s and growing up in Southern California you’d expect me to be a Dodgers or Angels fan… but as a really young boy I saw the Sox on WGN. It was my introduction to the game and I latched onto the Sox. Something about the logo or the colors just grabbed me and for all my flaws, I’m a loyal guy. A couple of years into my first obsession, Frank Thomas came around and I was sold. Every year whenever Chicago came to town, Dad would take a few days off work, take us to Anaheim, and we would see the entire series. Not only that but we would go about 5 hours before gates opened to meet players on their way into the field, we’d watch batting practice, and after the game we would wait another 2 hours for more autographs. Each game was a full day affair that lasted at least 10 hours. My pops has had life long health complications that affected his feet and legs. By the time 2012 rolled around I was about to start a family of my own and had understood more the depth of the sacrifice he made to me in supporting my fandom for what was a nearly two decade tradition between us. While in Chicago, I reached out to Brooks Boyer - explaining what was happening and I asked him if there was anything special we could do for my Dad. He instructed me to arrive three hours before the game at gate 4. We did so, my Dad suspecting nothing even as we entered with members of the press and where then escorted to the front offices. Sitting by a display of the World Series trophy, Brooks came out and introduced himself before ushering us on a tour of the executive suites. He then took us down to where the club houses are and we entered the field through the umpires tunnel. He took pictures of us in the on deck circle and we watched the team take batting practice from the cage. It was a moment for the books and one picture in particular you can see how touched my Dad is, emotion in his eyes and hand reaching for his heart. The best part of the story is that my pops health turned around. He’s still with us and is doing better now that he was 12 years back. So while we suck and it’s easy to get discouraged, let’s bring about some good memories and relive what this team really means to us. Poop.

Not good enough. Go down baby! Burn!!!!
