And that's an apathetic fanbase White Sox winner!

Someone has to follow the rules around here.

I checked out early to hit up a bar for the Wemby debut with some hoop heads. Looks like the Sox hit some balls hard and in the air. Lets keep doing that. Get some trade value.

Good man  ! Burger had a good game , 2b, HR, 2 walks 3 ribbies. Got his OPS back over .800.

Nice to have a nice comeback win but just can’t get too excited as I don’t think these guys could come up with a 10 game winning streak in fact we have a tough 3 city 9 game road trip after the break including the first 3 in Atlanta.

Don’t offend the Cardinals like that.

We can still win the AL Central Division. The All-Star break gives our guys a break and chance to recharge plus injured guys will be back. Don’t give up- don’t ever give up

Who cares? Winning a division with 75 wins and getting bounced in Round 1 is no different than losing the division with 75 wins and not making the playoffs.

Fangraphs playoff odds jumped all the way up to 2.3% after last night, so you’re tellin’ me there’s a chance.

Exactly. And even worse if this situation came to pass the Sox front office would start crowing about how they "got it right" in the end. ?

This season was over at the end of April...you know it, I know it and the White Sox themselves know it.

Just counting down the days till the Bears open the season.

15 under .500 is not a recipe for second half success El Rockin. Look up "lousy' in the dictionary and u see the 2023 Sox roster. Team is not gonna contend. In fact a three-game sweep by Atlanta is likely comin.

It doesn’t matter if we are 15 back or more as long as the rest of the division is under.500. All we have to do iswin our division

If you aren't trying to pull a fast one or get a reaction, if you honestly feel this way then I don't know if I should congratulate you for living in an alternate reality or feel sorry for your delusion.

By the way I'm not depressed, I've come to expect this from this incompetent, dysfunctional and inept organization and besides I've got 74 past Sox games from better times in my library. Plenty of baseball there to keep me going and wouldn't you know it, the Sox ALWAYS win! ?

Oh on a related note Hahn should like this gang....Craig Kimbrel was named to the N.L. All-Star team today as a replacement.

This.

I would get no joy out of the smack down this unlikeable bunch of clowns would get if they ever sniffed the post season.

I don’t sense any depression from someone living in the town of Realville.

Sure, win the division...and then get embarrassed in the playoffs again.

Right...a sure recipe for success. ?

But we won't have to concern ourselves with that situation anyway...it's a moot point (or a moo point... the point of view of a cow as Joey once said on "Friends." )

I would rather watch the Toledo Mud Hens than these Illinoisapolis Ass Clowns.

Yes you're right, there is a chance. The latest odds have now jumped to +2000 for the Sox to win the AL Central.

Since you are such the internal optimist, I highly recommend you put a $500 bet down and go for it! You would win a sweet $10,000 in return for your delusional fandom.

Anything can happen but the chances of something happening like the Sox rebounding from this disaster are so embarrassingly small it is not worth even considering.

I mean it is mathematically possible any or all of these events can happen on Sunday:

*An alien spaceship lands on the south lawn of the White House

*Scientists reveal they have unlocked the key to cold fusion eliminating any future energy issues

*Putin, Trump and Xi all pass away 

*An earthquake sends California sliding into the Pacific Ocean

*An MLB pitcher throws a "perfect-perfect" game...all 27 outs recorded by a strike out

 

Yea, ANYTHING can happen but I wouldn't bet my life on any of the above taking place.

Like others have stated this organization is completely dysfunctional in so many areas nothing short of a complete overhaul of the baseball side from ownership on down can change its direction. 

Exchanged e-mails with a member of the mainstream Chicago media yesterday on Stone's comments, the reply was that they like Steve but it sad he's become nothing but a JR apologist.
