One of the Sox games is exclusively on MLB Network, which I doubt a lot of Chicago Comcast subscribers (like me) even get. I mean, I'm on the radio because work but gently caress that poo poo.

They should have done Chicago right again and had it on Nick. We need another NVP.

Holy poo poo this is a real post. I'm sure Maddon has an unbelievable hardon somewhere, and he's confused as gently caress because Ohtani isn't near him.

Oh good, LaRussa decided to use a roster spot for Billy Hamilton. That .600 OPS is going to come in real handy.

I mean, "pinch runner who can steal a base at will" seems like a pretty useful guy to have on a playoff roster (can he still do that? father time comes for us all eventually)

He's still a passable baserunner and fielder occasionally, it's just that TLR decides he really needs to use him as a PH in high leverage situations for some ungodly reason.

I'm pretty sure there were a couple of girlfriends as well. I know it doesn't add up to tens of women but if you have more then an isolated incident there's probably a pattern.

So now Dylan Cease is starting for the white Sox tomorrow which means there was really zero reason for TLR not to use Kopech in a high leverage situation yesterday. Just brilliant work you rummy.

Also let them still yell "STEERIKE!!!" Because as a casual baseball fan the ump screaming balls and strikes feels cool.

Umps still matter, can you imagine a fight breaking out between a manager and a computer? If it were a Rays game we'd have algorithm-on-algorithm violence.

I like video review, but it should either a) be an immediate decision to challenge (like in tennis) or b) an actual penalty for requesting it and losing. I really don't like how on every close play the broadcast goes to the manager holding his hand up in a "wait a second" position while someone in a TV booth somewhere watches every replay.

Now this is the good stuff

The White Sox pitcher should be forced to personally apologize to the known cheaters for accusing them of cheating again.

https://twitter.com/pgammo/status/1447567596316921860?s=21

Maybe if you get away with cheating to win a World Series and suffer no consequences, you’re just gonna have to deal with people accusing you of cheating from now on? Bit of a “made your bed now lie in it” situation.

If the link Peter includes in his tweet doesn't exist he should have to go to ESPN headquarters and apologize for making up a news article

Ya know, I don't think I have a problem with socially conscious posts and socially conscious posters. If rooting for a sports team is supposed to be an escape, we might as well try to make it as pure as we can.

I've never really had an issue with Buck. His in-game calls might are a little milquetoast but he's good at filling dead time by feeding his color guy lines and providing esoteric information.

I kinda hoped this all got resolved yesterday, but thank god there is a playoff poster around to let me know I'm too sensitive.

The White Sox staff definitely faltered towards the end of the season, but they weren't slouches. I think it's just a matter of whether the Red Sox can outslug them in the ALCS.

I'm guessing every neutral fan's problem with the remaining teams is:

B - Front office and manager
LA - Front office and Bauer
A - Fanbase
H - On-field players

There's also one tiny detail you might have overlooked, one biiiiiiiiiig problem with all the hoopla.

Pressure!

You've trained them to work under pressure by complete accident.

When you dog a team for the better part of a year and a half, doing everything you can to drag them out for a good 'ol fashion fan lynch mob, they're going to get used to it. Then suddenly, hi-pressure playoffs games becomes just another Tuesday night.

and that is the perfect recipe card for a deflated Boston Red Sox fan base being humiliated on national television THREE times in a row in the most famous baseball stadium on planet earth. I could grind my own ice cream from the salt generated from Fenway Park, god drat that was beautiful.

So bring on the loving thunder, I want some lightning for these strikes! If you ain't threatening to draw out and quarter our athletes, you ain't using your A game!

You seem very invested in the success of your sports team.

I'm too lazy to go back and find it - but you were not optimistic in Game 5 last year! Hrm - actually, maybe you were after it got back to 3-2.

Nevermind - Dodgers-Astros rematch is destined, so you should feel good about this year too - it must happen.

I would be excited about this if it wasn't for the fact that Joe Kelly is out.

By the way guys, I definitely didn't hurt my back trying to suck myself off. I also don't like it when girls pee on me, just ask my wife.

sorry for the cspam reference, but there is quite a bit of crossover in the audiences.
