Field of Dreams game Sox vs Yankees

[ChiSoxFan]

Throw another blown save on the barbie, mates!

The White Sox should not let the Cubbies or the Brewers horn in on this game. It should be traditionally the White Sox game every year - with rotating opponents.

They should but it won't happen

One of my low-key favorite moments of last night's game was Kimbrel basically doing a lap around the infield when he didn't get the outside edge call.

Yeah, at first I thought he didn’t realize the worst umpire ever called it a ball, but the replay showed he saw the call and still did the walk. Good for him.

One of the reasons the hitters were jacked up last night - was the ump had no consistent strike zone for the pitchers to work - so hitters had to swing and pitchers had to groove the zone.

Still - Timmy coming up in the bottom on the 9th - confidence radiating off him like an aura - slaps a game winning two run homer - that was perfection.

I watched the replay of that HR and his rounding the bases at least 30 times.

Kudos to MLB and Fox for last night’s product. Really well done.

What about those Iowan cards fans??

White Sox - vs Cards would be great - even White Sox vs Cubs would be great, but you don't have the Field of Dreams if you don't have an era of White Sox history.

The lead actors of great movies are often disconnected from the legacy of the movies.
It's understandable, being in the movie changes everything.

But that was sure not the case with Kevin Costner.

That movie is in his heart. That game flowed through him last night & vice versa.

I watched the game last night. It was a pretty good show.

Too bad it wasn't against the Houston Can Bangers. That sound would have been cool echoing through the corn stalks.

 

[richig07]

Crazy. That will help when the Sox hit an inevitable rough patch like every team.

We've sort of already hit ours coming out of the break. We're healthy now. If anything, we should go on a big run here soon. I don't think we've done that since very early on.

Yeah, I was listening to a Ray Liotta radio interview once from like 2010 or something. He got asked a question about how fantastic Goodfellas was. His response was basically that he's never seen the movie and couldn't really comment on what it's like to be a viewer of the film. Everyone in studio was stunned.

Seeing behind the curtain and being a part of the process definitely can rob you of certain feelings towards the final product. You're right, though, Costner seemed to be all-in on everything to do with it.

Had to wait until I got home from a 3 day Strip trip in order to watch the game, as I had it recorded, altho I have to admit I found out about the score beforehand. However, I had no idea how the game actually proceeded and ended, I just knew the final score. Wow, some real dramatics, including all those dingers.

I wouldn't mind if Hendriks gave up those killer two run homers if Judge and Stanton simply hit some tough pitches, but both of them were right down the pipeline. TLR needs to swap roles between Kimbrel and Hendriks until the latter proves he's back to his old form.

Now as to our hero, TA could not have picked a better time to show why he's become the face of the franchise. And I'll wager his endorsement price skyrocketed after last night.

Since Nebraska came up - how'd you like the new Unis?

that is horrible

True.
I loved the novel (Shoeless Joe) didn't really care for the film because of Costner because he is the worst actor ever. But he was all in.

I'm far from being a big Costner fan, but the man is excellent in his current role in the TV series Yellowstone, which is IMO the best damn series on television. He was also really good in the movie Open Range.

I believe it.

I've heard good things.

I was one of those who did not watch Yellowstone from the beginning, and my brother kept telling me what a fool I was for not ever having watched this series. Then the Paramount Network, which carries the show, decided a few months back to televise all three seasons again, so I was able to catch it from the getgo. If you get that same chance at some point, please watch it. No joking, it's THAT good. And now I understand why my brother kept giving me shit.

Haven't seen Yellowstone, but did enjoy Open Range.

Open Range was one stud of a western, especially during a time in which westerns have long been out of vogue. And I'll say the same thing to you buddy, if you get a chance to watch Yellowstone from the beginning, which is the only way to watch it, please do so. Believe me, you'll get hooked.
