Every time someone posts the first phrase for the next 10 years, that clause will get added in a reply automatically because of what he's about to do to pitchers.

Tested negative, but don’t feel well. If I’m a catcher or umpire, and a batter spits at the plate, you would get an earful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just saying that advantage will be enough to overcome whatever happens on the rest of the schedule. For the record, last year we were 11-8 vs Cle and 6-13 vs Min, which works out to 17-21 combined. Also of note is that Cle won the season series against MN by a 10-9 mark. Records versus each other last year... MN 22-16 CLE 18-20 SOX 17-21 And thats when we sucked, we don't suck anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBWSF Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I read in the Sun Times today that the bad guys on the Northside of Chicago want to have 7,000 fans allowed at there home games this year. If they get the approval from the City of Chicago I would like to think the White Sox would do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofaRoache Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Anywho, congrats to all of you for making it through this tough time and staying positive. Keeping the board active and fun with no baseball is no easy feat, especially during a pandemic. I look forward to this amazing journey that is about to begin for our Sox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the sox ale, but honestly they could have thrown that logo on keystone light and I'd have bought a keg of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire up the grill with some loaded brats and hot dogs, buy a bag of unshelled peanuts, soft pretzel and cheese (groceries usually has these frozen), anything you would get at the stadium. Doing a Zoom call with some friends on the side as we distance-watch. That's my plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
