We feasted by Lake Michigan, now let’s feast by Lake Erie
need this team to make the playoffs for no other reason than to see joe kelly pitch in front of a home crowd
Oh fuck you’re gonna make me believe
We did a sweep! Are we allowed?
Lmao Ozzie, “Kelly was throwing Nintendo pitches out there”
* Clevinger (right wrist inflammation) was placed on the IL.
* Lynn allowed 2 ER (a Massey 2-run HR) in 6 IP.
* Robert hit a solo HR.
* Romy hit a 2-RBI triple and scored on a Benintendi sac fly. Romy hit 3-for-3 today.
* White Sox: [Hanser Alberto left the game with left shoulder soreness and is day-to-day.](https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/1660370935969468417)
* The Sox scored a run off 3 2-out singles in the 7th.
* Kelly has retired 16 straight batters faced.
* The Sox earned their first series sweep this season.
Biggest week of the season let’s go boys
Sweep sweep sweep
🧹🧹🧹😤 we back
SWEEP
We’ll never lose again
Let’s do the same this week.
Will the Jake Owen concert be our Kascade this year?
I’m just here for Joe Kelly’s Stanky Leg.
Can’t believe the Sox are actually winning at home.
Are the White Sox back? Are they fun again? Are they going all the way? Yes 😎
Don’t stop now boys…
These are the starts Big Bastard needs
This might be our most well rounded game of the season, no?
Decent outing from SP, good/clutch offensive production, pen being squeaky clean to finish out a close game.
WE ARE SO BACK
we’re the most fucking back we’ve ever been
There’s a gif feature here now? Fucking sweet!
Reports of the White Sox demise have been greatly exaggerated.
We can gif now?
Now go beat Cleveland
The masculine urge to say WE’RE BACK after saying IT’S OVER
Never seen a guy hurt his arm running to first. That’s a new one, even for us. At least it wasn’t Yoan or Luis! Nice to get a sweep!
I am now 16-0 since the pandemic ended. Someone get me more tickets.
Nice to see a sweep. Have to remind myself this is the Royals though. We need to take advantage of the Indigaurdians and kittens this week before the big boys come to town after the roadtrip. Hopefully Liam’s magic comeback will keep us climbing up the central.
The Romy Gonzalez game. 😤
Huge day for him today, especially the clutch 2 RBI triple. Dude was busting his ass straight out the box.
Was there ever any doubt?
This team is rolling on a completely different level right now. It’s amazing to watch things coming together.
The Sox are back and you’re gonna be in trouble
(Hey-la-day-la The Sox are back)
You see them comin’ gonna win the AL Central
(Hey-la-day-la The Sox back)
Keep those brooms ready because Cleveland is next to get their teeth knocked in. It’s a beautiful day.
1 game under .400!!
From October jokers to world serious: the 2023 white sox
Guess who just got back today
Them wild eyes Sox who have been away
First 3 games of the season I’ve not watched a lick of or even followed. And this happens.
All I want for my birthday is a 4 game winning streak.
Why can’t we do this every time we play the Royals? 🧦🧦🧦🧹🧹🧹
