I did the unthinkable and got tickets to tomorrows game…..have been so conflicted the last few weeks in regards to getting tickets but taking the soon to be 2 year old and hoping he can have some fun on opening day was too hard to pass up but at least he will never remember the outcome or this season….idk why I put myself through this….someone should report me for child abuse….hopefully the kiddo likes pregame fireworks at least

He won't remember...it's actually self abuse. But have fun anyways. :gosoxretro:

15. Tigers at White Sox, 4:10 p.m.
Tarik Skubal vs. Garrett Crochet
Is the Skubal we saw in the second half last year — the one who might have been one of the best pitchers in baseball — the real deal? If he is, this Tigers team may have some real plucky potential in this division. The White Sox? Well, maybe not so much. But at least Crochet — moving to a starting role after throwing 73 Major League relief innings since 2020 — will always be able to say he was an Opening Day starter.

 

MLB.com rated this as the 15th best Opening Day pitching match-up, haha.

They are both getting paid to talk baseball and don’t have to sit on the hot seat like a manager.  Not a bad gig if you can get it.

He gets paid by Fox for his work in Saturdays. Don’t think he gets much for this gig, more to gain exposure and possibly work on broadcasting. 

The interview was nearly a half hour and cordial. Getz evaded questions at times but more informative and enjoyable than a typical Hahn interview.

The Tigs put some effort and resources into what looks like a pretty decent rotation to support a .500 record. Three solid vets (Skubal, Flaherty and Maeda), plus Casey Mize back from TJ looks good and fast and a number of young guys competing for the back end spots. Promising Matt Manning has to settle for Toledo as does OF Akil Baddoo who was a starter. The other guys picked up some bodies here and there and Pedro says they looked real good in practice. My series prediction is no-contest. By mid-season Gertz will realize that his good teammate and good glove approach is great for tee ball.

That song brought back so many great memories and along with the montage brought tears to my eyes, thanks for posting.

Being a Sox fan is in my blood, and I assume yours as well.  It can be tough, but I personally would not change it. Opening Day is always exciting.

Bought tix because I want to see the 2024 Sox when they aren't under .500.

Bought Club Level seats so we can retreat into the heated concourse in case the wind whips up.

Last year, club level ticket holders weren't allowed down to the 100 level. Has that changed? Food and merchandise options are limited on the club level.

Happy opening day folks.

I know our team will be terrible, but baseball is awesome. I will find my joy in watching prospects develop in the minors, other exciting MLB teams, and even the occasional White Sox game. Cheers.
