Santiago vs Rodon
First game out of a best of four series. Sox look to warm up their bats back home while the Angels look to surface back to .500.
First pitch 7:10PM CST.
how does it feel to cheer for a team that's the 2nd team in your market?
That must fucking suck
Fuck yeah time for benetti
>>66931863
Please. Cubs are meme team, chicagofags who actually like baseball like the Sox. I hate baseball and even I know that.
>>66931863
feels good man
Let's go Rodon. Right the ship!
>>66932025
Oh hell yes!
>>66931846
what the fuck is wrong with the guy replacing hawk? Did he get hit by a shovel or something. It's like hes got one eye watching the game and one eye watching the street.

More people actually living in Chicago like the White Sox, according to Facebook polls. This one breaks it down by zip code:
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/04/24/upshot/facebook-baseball-map.html?_r=0
The White Sox have better merchandise sales, and just about equal TV ratings when team performance is similar (2008 and 2014). The Cubs dominate attendance figures, but people within the Cubs organization say that a whopping 40% of their attendees are Wrigley Field tourists. That puts them below the White Sox, but I wouldn't go as far as saying they'd be so bad if they played in Rosemont. I'll let you decide.
The only reason the Cubs have a national presence is because of WGN.
>>66931846
op i'm truly sorry that you live in CST
>>66932203
>>66932258
>>66932260
The guy couldn't grow up hoping to be a ballplayer, so he grew up hoping to be a broadcaster. What a guy.
>>66932258
>>66932260
gross
So is anyone gonna be flying a drone into the video board again.
>thanks bro
>>66932263
is that where all the black people live?
Still can't believe we got swept by the Twins
>>66932481
What the hell happened.
THROW STRIKES, CARLOS
LEL
Good job Kole
>>66932541
Baseball, man. A team with 0 wins is bound to get hot eventually.
well this ended quickly
SIMMONS
Fucking pls
RUNS
U
N
S
I'm just gonna play DS3, no point watching this trash
damn shit fuck shit shit crap fuck
>>66932734
How goes it for you.
>>66932734
If CJ Cron can get a hit against you, it's not a good thing.
>it's a score early but the bullpen still blows it episode
Holy shit where is all this offense coming from
Get the hell outta here.
>>66932766
It's going well, I think I'm pretty close to the end, but saying the area I'm in now would be a pretty uncool spoiler.
Welp so much for not being dour.
>bullpen in the first
Yeah, nah. Time to listen to the radio feed.
>.1 innings
Holy. Fucking. What did we do to deserve this
>>66932874
Definitely further than me. Was about to start the ice area. I spend too much time exploring and co-oping.
This game
S-still 3 g-games above .500.
>108.00 ERA
Is Rodon a bust?
Shit. I'll take the five spot of course.
SOX MAKE IT OUT HOLY SHIT
Kill me.
Kill me.
Kill me.
Can't decide whether to turn this off, will the Angels choke at least?
inb4 Santiago relaxes and walks four guys this inning
>>66933049
Probably not.
>>66933049
White sox have no offense. It's already game over.
Kill me.
I can't believe jpetty is in. Do we have no long MRPs? Hell this game is already over with cause of our shit offense. Just force Danks to pitch again as punishment for being Danks.
sigh...
Looks like Frazier is off to a slow start
>lafrazdunn
frazier just end your existence my man
Escobar is a clown but I like him. He's like Aybar v2
Of fucking course that would happen.
>>66933211
>>66933226
who did you guys trade for him
>>66933251
It does kinda seem like that.
He doesn't have the hot dog story though
How do we fix the White Sox offense?
>>66933274
a bunch of shitters
but better than some of the shitters currently on this tema
>>66933274
A young 2nd basemen with holes in his glove
A young possible 4-5 rotation arm
A future all star outfielder
I am convinced that Mike Trout's talent was stolen by the monstars
>>66933294
Not sure if Thompson was a shitter though.
Everyone else, probably.
>>66933359
Idk what's up with him. Its still early though, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt
>>66933279
Fire Robin
Hire a new offensive minded coach, possibly from Canada
He's the bat whisperer and can have a special way to talk to hitters
Practice against yourselves every day
Claim that you do very well in practice
If this offense can't even manage 3 runs against Hector Fucking Santiago in this park in this weather, I don't even know anymore.
>>66933359
>talent
his PEDs shipment must be late
>>66933359
>>66933408
His best months are always June and July, don't worry
>>66933476
jokes on you santiago is actually the ace
Santiago dealing.
Him and Richards need to be the new #1/#2
>>66933555
I remember when he was here as a kind of serviceable 4th but still served up longballs on a platter everywhere. "Flyball" pitcher in the Cell. Who's the fuck who thought that up?
>>66933276
>Aybar is hitting .136 .170 .136
Yikes, they better hope Newcomb is the real deal
Nice """defense"""
Maybe we can hope that jpetty can hold the line and at least not waste any more bullpen today. Fuck this is the worst way to start this homestand. God fucking damn it all.
>FUCK
sigh...
>bunt that actually works
It's been so long I forgot what offense feels like
Cron has 2 (TWO) hits today. That's amazing.
FOR FUCK SAKE
WHY JUST WHY
FUCK
It's going to be a long season.
anime belongs in the trash

It's depressing, lay off
>>66933986
except Jojo
Jojo's alright
>abroo
And now putty's in so we're just going to completely obliterate our bullpen. Just great.
>>66933999
nice 9s
Please someone fucking kill me.
>toddunn lafrazshit
That was beyond bad
Really, really liking Santiago's fastball
eugh
off to kill myself
gg angels
S-still 3 g-games a-above .500.

Ace attorney is fun IMO
>you now remember rodon in his prime
2 hits
>>66935379
That's our Sox...
[babip inensifies]
DUDE
OFFENSE
pls don't waste all our runs for the year on this game
>>66935873
At least your team didn't blow their load during spring training.
>>66936092
they kind of did based the first few games
>>66936171
Well, it shows that they still have something left.
>mahle
Literally who? A lefty sidearm? Scioscia you madman
HOLY SHIT A HIT
>>66936329
Westminster's finest. He had a good spring.
>Cubs blow out the Tards
>White Suxs getting blown out by the Angels
Today is a good day.
>>66936502
>implying >we won't give up 8 runs in the 9th
>>66936561
>Thinking the White Soxs have the offensive to even get a runner to second without them somehow ending up on the pitcher's mound.
guys remember when the white sox were good
good times
>>66936628
it was a pleasant 15 minutes
>>66936561
Hahaha no.
>>66936628
108 years ago right?
oh wait that was the cubs
did Hawk finally die
>>66936681
For the 100th time, no.
>>66936628
I didn't really realize this until the Royals won it all last year, but we're the only two AL non-Sawks/Yanks team to win the title in the last 20 years. Kinda crazy when you think about it.
>>66936681
Are the white soxs still cursing them with their shittiness?
>>66936721
especially since it took another team choking to make the playoffs in the first place
>>66936721
It means it's finally time to dump the designated hitter and embrace the superiority of the NL
>>66936721
we as in the sox and angels?
>>66936756
Kinda the same with the Moneyball hype

At least another golden sombrero wasn't given out.

>>66936793
Yes, white sox and Angels. GG brahs
LTBU
Good way to get back on track
>>66932263
Literally 0 Oakland fans
>>66932263
Facebook polls are fucking retarded.
