Series Thread: White Sox at Houston - ALDS Best of Five

[msgkings322]

Welp...We look like a team that coasted off a cupcake division right now. Assuming we survive the 7th, the next two innings will either be a springboard or a plank...

We discussed this a couple months ago, knew it would be a problem just coasting for so long.

Astros are the better team but LaRussa fucked this one up

 

[msgkings322]

Yeah...Terrible trade...Just...really bad. Close the book on it.

I liked it when it happened but I was wrong

Hahn’s 2 big acquisitions at the deadline have been great for the Astros today

 

[idseer]

we all thought sox had the pitching to compete.

no ... we don't.

nice to win the central division .... weak as it was, but does anyone here really see the sox coming back ?

 

[podsox]

Leury!! That september success against minor leaguers really gave Larussa confidence in him

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Dammit.

And I thought they were doing pretty good through 6 innings all things considered.

It ain't over till it's over.
Win on Sunday and go from there.

C'mon man.
Don't be THAT guy.

Trust me...I'm a lifelong Mets fan.
I know misery and disappointment.
But ya still gotta believe and have some faith.
Plus....home cookin' helps and can work wonders.

Thanks for another limp dick playoffs, White Sox. Let the rebuild continue.

THAT guy?
i don't believe in faith. i believe what i see, and what i see is a pretender of a team vs a team. i don't see much difference between parks. i see a team with a lot of weaknesses and going nowhere. sure, they may win a game at home ... but there's no doubt which is the better team.

C'mon guys, let's look at the bright side. Tomorrow's another day. Of course we don't play tomorrow, so.........

They should trade Kimbrel

Guaranteed they don't lose tomorrow!

Clobbered 15-5 over 2 games. 1-4 in the playoffs this year and last despite our leadoff man having 4 3-hit games out of the 5 of them. Sad story.

He will be traded right away when the demented old bat owner decides to rebuild.

 

[catman]

They should trade Kimbrel

The way he pitched down the stretch, they won't get much for him. Tonight, he looked horrible.
The Sox are in trouble, heading back home 0-2, but they do play well there.

Cease lined up to start tomorrow - they will need his best start of the year to have any chance. Here’s hoping playing at home helps turn things around.

I just bought tickets to tomorrow’s gm. I found out after that our brilliant owner sold all parking passes online and scalpers bought them
All up. Cheapest current pass is 250… more than my 2 tickets in the outfield. Amazing. Almost like they are Never in the playoffs and don’t know how to Hanford a sold out crowd. Total bullshit
