Maybe third time is the charm?

It better be.

What's Renteria doing these days? Just kidding but Tony's handling of this team in the play-offs is just as bad or maybe even worse than Renteria's was:

Yeah, no kidding. And I liked the hiring when it happened. He made a lot of bad moves today, and every one seemed to bite the Sox hard. Pinch hitting Hernandez for Engel made zero sense unless Engel is hurting again. Hernandez left his bat in Cleveland.

I'd hope they can at least win a single game and not continue to be embarrassed but these are the White Sox so who the hell knows what will happen.

That’s where I’m standing right now. It’s one thing to be competitive and get beaten, quite another to get exposed and embarrassed. I’m hoping for 2 in Chicago and something of a divine intervention in Houston.

The pen is the weakest link. Ami the only one who notices the Sox have bad luck with former NL talent?

Sox have been a completely different team at home all season. They will win Games 3 and 4 handily.

Very true about how well they play at home, that's why it was so critical for them to actually get home field advantage.

You're not alone. Dunn, Laroche and several others come to mind. But Garland worked out well, and Tepera is doing pretty well, so it's not absolute.

I think that the Sox will win Sunday night, and win big, but i also think that they will lose Monday.

I don't think to Tepera has been put in enough situations to say he worked out, Garland was in a NL farm system. Garland does not fit my definition of worked out well/ Veteran NL talent does not work for the White Sox. Everyone will ooh and aah over next year's free agents and if they get one from the NL don't expect much from them for at least 100 games. There is a point where stats don't matter and realize the science doesn't always work.

It's about time for the Dusty Factor to kick in. He's lost 0-2 leads before.

Now you're talking. I'd be just fine with that happening. As you said, it wouldn't be the first time. 😁

Cease named the starter for Sunday night. TLR still somewhat evasive regarding Rodon's status should the Sox force a game #4
