soxfan49 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 On 9/16/2022 at 12:59 PM, KrankinSox said: Sox, Guardians, Twins head into the final day of the season in a 3 way tie. Guardians hold the tiebreaker, so the winner of the Sox-Twins game needs Cleveland to lose to clinch the division. Sox win 6-1 and watch the end of the Guardians-Royals game in the clubhouse with Tony, who has still not returned to manage yet. In the 11th inning, Sal Perez hits a 2 run HR and the Guardians can only score 1 in the bottom half, thus falling 1 game short of the division title. The Sox clubhouse breaks out in celebration. Southpaw breaks open the bubbly and the boys get good and drunk. Tony announces, via post-game show interview, that he'll return to manage for the playoffs. However, the party gets the best of him and he receives his 3rd DUI while drunkenly driving the team bus to Admiral Theatre later that night. He is fired the next morning. Sox host the Rays in a 3 game playoff at the G Spot and win it in 2 games, with game 2 being a walkoff basehit from Romy Gonzalez scoring pinch runner Adam Engel. Tony tries joining the clubhouse celebration but is met by G Spot security at the back entrance and not allowed to enter. That night, Leury gets his wife pregnant with Leury Jr. Who will eventually be drafted 3rd overall by the Tigers and win 4 MVPs while destroying the sox throughout the 2040's and early 2050's. In the ALDS, the Sox overmatch the Yankees with superior pitching and win the series in 4 games, again clinching on their home field. Meanwhile, the Mariners making their first playoff appearance in 21 years, shock the Astros to advance to the ALCS to meet the Sox. A local Seattle radio station somehow manages to arrange a Lou Piniella vs Tony La Russa wrestling match with each former skipper wearing a singlet donning their former team's logo. Tony wins the match via TKO after knocking out Sweet Lou with a folding chair. In his post-fight interview Tony says he is still with the team in spirit and will be drinking more spirits later that night. This wrestling match victory gives the Sox all the momentum they need. They sweep the Mariners and head back to the World Series for the first time in 17 years. ALCS MVP Eloy Jimenez credits Tony's inspirational victory as the motivation the team needed to advance and dedicates his MVP to Tony. The Sox meet the Dodgers in the World Series and shockingly, the day before the series starts Dave Roberts is suspended by the MLB for cocaine use. He reports that the MLB must have mistakenly tested Ron Washington's urine when the Dodgers beat the Braves in the NLCS but he can not prove it. With Roberts gone, the Dodgers hire Tommy Lasorda's corpse to manage the World Series. Tony is upset as he was hoping to be the first corpse to manage in a World Series. The underdog Sox take advantage of the demoralized Dodgers clubhouse and win the World Series in 7 games, after AJ Pollock hits a Grand Slam in the top of the 9th inning off Craig Kimbrel to erase a 5-2 Dodgers lead. Nick Madrigal, who is in the outfield bleachers as a fan, catches the game winning home run with his Toys R Us glove he brought to the game like all the other 12 year olds. The day after the parade, Reinsdorf sells the Sox to Jeff Bezos. The White Sox dominate the rest of the 2020's and 2030's winning 6 World Series. However, they never win another after that as the curse of Leury Jr. casts a dark shadow over the franchise for the rest of eternity. How do you have so much time on your hands?

wegner Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Upcoming....a 12 game losing streak by the Mariners to help the Sox get that last wild card. But can the PaleHose get past Cleveland in the ALCS? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 It figures after an entire season of just a garbage division, when the Sox finally rid themselves of the anchor around their necks, the only team in baseball hotter than them is Cleveland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma. Cleveland does the right thing and changes their name while the Sox employ domestic abusers, a serial DUI offender, and a public indecenct exposer.

WBWSF Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 The upcoming homestand against Cleveland and Detroit will be very successful. The White Sox will be in first place by the end of the homestand. This should lead them into the 2022 Playoffs. There's an old saying, The White Sox are coming, Tra La, Tra La!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RG23SoxFan Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I expect them to give the fans one last false hope. Minnesota beats Cleveland tomorrow so Cleveland comes to town up 3 games. White Sox beat them Tuesday & Wednesday to get within a game and then Giolito lets up 7 runs in the top of the 1st on Thursday. So they lose the season series and end up tying for the division.

CentralChamps21 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Sox win first two against Cleveland, get our hopes up, then lose the third one and follow that up by losing 2 of 3 to the Tigers to pile on the pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what happens today. If Cleveland wins, Sox are 4 GB. If Twins win, Sox are 3 GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
