1 of my five favorite sox of all time.

Be nice if we at least hit 70 wins.

Going to my first White Sox game in Comiskey in a long time in June...so that will be fun. Churros!

I havent been to a Sox game in over a decade and that was in the shitty Trop. My only game in Chicago was when I was 8 or 9. Been far too long

This is the first year in the last 20 my family hasn’t had season tickets. I’ve seen a lot of bad, a sprinkling of good.

That's funny...My last game was in the Trop too. Matter of fact...Most of my last Sox games have been in the Trop.

*shudders*

Still reeling that Billy Koch ruined my 4th of July in 2003 (right after the Alomar and Everett trade no less so the hype was crushed emphatically)

I hate that Billy Koch.

Whatever happens...I'm getting Buffalo Chicken in a Sox helmet when I'm in Comiskey....and Churros...and reiterate to my wife how only two women on the planet could get me to leave her...Barefoot Contessa and Nancy Faust.

He is horribly inconsistent. Not being able to go minimum 5 innings against Baltimore is not good.

I think I lean a bit more toward the latter quote here. I'm stopping short of calling Rodon a bust, but he's starting to make Giolito look like a steady eddie. I have no idea why our pitching staff is so incredibly undependable. Does management need to invest in better scouting, especially when it comes to pitching? It sure seems like we need that.

Trudem · May 2, 2019

Rodon is super frustrating. One game he looks lights out for 7 innings and the next he cant go 5. The walks are super annoying.

Trudem · May 2, 2019

We all knew the pitching would be awful but the offense is fun to watch. Anderson and raking. Moncada has been much more aggressive and striking out less. Abreu is on a tear but his age limits his future value. Jiminez is streaky but looks decent just need him healthy. They are no longer awful to watch. We are close to .500 so they are above where we all expected.

If we had any kind of consistency with our pitching - it wouldn't have to even be great, just more consistent and dependable - we'd have the makings of a fairly dangerous team. We're 4th in the AL in runs per game, Anderson still leads the league in batting and despite a horrible slump for several weeks, Abreu is now tied for the lead in RBIs. I think we've had two games so far this season where we came from behind in our last at bat to win the game. Not sure we normally do that twice in an entire season. So you're right about our O being fun to watch.

Tim Anderson already has 8 errors this year. He has to shore that part of his game up. Otherwise, he has been an AS.

Rodon to 10 day IL. Could potentially be bad.

ChiSoxFan · May 2, 2019

Covey to rotation. Blah.

Lake Shore Drive · May 2, 2019

It seems every time it COULD go bad for a Sox pitcher, it does. In fact, it usually turns out to be the worst case scenario. There's no way Rodon is only going to be out for 10 days. No friggin way.

personally, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. he's just another in a line of average to below average pitchers the sox have decided to stick themselves with. i've seen this so many times with the sox. draft a guy and the whole time you have control of them they're either injured or basically suck until they no longer have control. that whole 'service time' for players thing blows big chunks.

and did you hear benetti's call on delmonico's home run. it's like he had no clue what had just happened. where do they get these guys? they feel sorry for him so we're stuck with yet another p.o.s. announcer?
