  1. Jeeze, sounds like this place really needs some on-field action to talk about. Two hours to first pitch, let's do it.
  2. Yo looks like he's having so much fun. I love this and I love this team.
  3. Guaranteed Yermin already had that in his closet already. 50/50 Madrigal did too and has just been ITCHING for a chance to wear it.
  4. Duplicate posts but I'll use this opportunity to say LarRussa is an ass.
  5. The absolute arrogance behind his "Lance has a locker. I have an office." Wow. Way to win over the clubhouse, dripping of condescension. Fuck LaRussa forever and always.
  6. A win today would be great to quell things. A loss means two losses in a row with two nights off before a road trip for everyone sit around and dwell on all of the negativity. That's a lot of time to field questions from the media about the Yermin/TLR actions, how the clubhouse is, etc. Don't need that. Let's get the win, win the series, and leave Minnesota in better spirits.
  7. White Sox fans are to managers what Bears fans are to starting quarterbacks by week 6 of the season.
  8. Hell yeah. It's astounding how many baseball people are Team Yermin on this one, further demonstrating how out of touch TLR is.
  9. How foolish of you to not expect our boy Jake Lamb to be batting second! Mercy.
  10. Yep, you see that in hockey - one guy wants to start a fight to fire up his team, but the other guy needs to accept. You see it more often now where the player from the team that is already cruising and doesn't need a spark will turn down the fight. And that's the difference with baseball - we don't get a chance to be like "no thanks", they'll just drill a player if they want to.
  11. Good reminder that this was our roster in 2019. We're just two years removed from an outfield that featured names like Cordell, Skole, Palka, Tilson, and Jay. Two years. We're pretty spoiled that we only have to complain about 2-3 spots on the roster.
  12. Tom Verducci just did an extended dive on Yermin Mercedes on MLBN, drawing up comps. He compared Yerm to the following: Josh Donaldson's ability to crush the fastball Jose Canseco's aggressiveness and power with less than two strikes Paul Molitor's ability to put it in play on two strikes Yogi Berra's ability to hit anything "from the nose to the toes" Lot of high praise from Verducci and tall comparisons. Obviously still "young" in his pro career to live up to those laudits, but awesome that he's getting the attention and recognition for what he's doing.
  13. Wait, did the Sox just do Cleveland's "run scored Mario coin" sound effect when they recorded the first out? I didn't hear it on the K and the bumper music played after the last out, maybe I'm I'm just hearing things. Certainly hope we're not using Cleveland's schtick, though.
  14. 5-out save for Liam. Yermin pinch-hit clutch. Timmy first pitch dinger swagger. Billy Hamilton doing Billy Hamilton things. Sweep the damn Twins. LFG!
  15. Jeeze, flashbacks to Gordon Beckham tripping over the mound to blow it right there.
  16. Oh man, Stone can't be happy with Benetti stealing his line about the shadows creeping in. That's Steve's bread and butter!
  17. Never thought Billy Hamilton would reach the status as a Sox where the fans are chanting his name as he steps into the box. Pleasantly surprised with his he's been playing
  18. This post aged quite nicely in just 5 short hours, bravo!
  19. Oh man, Billy Hamilton is a HR short of the cycle in the 5th inning. With this lead, I hope he sells out trying for it.
  20. In case folks haven't realized, we've now scored 9+ runs in four straight games. Spread it on!
  21. Lol Mercedes 2-strike hack, looked like he's playing cricket. Love this guy.
  22. Watching on MLBN where they have Amsinger, Harold Reynolds, and Plesac just watching the game and commenting on it. Harold sucks eggs in general, but he was harping on Keuchel for leaving it up too much before that Cruz AB. Think he's got a point. Be really curious to see if Keuchel can keep it down moving forward.
