### Decisions

27 comments
  1. * Andrus hit a 2-RBI single.
    * Toussaint allowed 3 runs on 2 HRs in 4 IP.
    * David Ross was ejected for arguing with the umpires.
    * Robert hit a solo HR.
    * Benintendi hit an RBI double.
    * Santos earned a 5-out save, striking out 3.
    * The Sox have won 6 straight at Wrigley.

  2. Why the hell does Hahn ever pay relievers. They’re like running backs to the White Sox. Just pick up some random dude off waivers or from the minors and they’re great.

  3. Imagine losing to the .400 Sox at home while in a playoff push. Ross has been highly mediocre in the limited times I’ve seen him manage and tonight was added to that pile.

  4. Man they sure as hell love to cry in the other sub about the umps “screwing them”. A couple of people at least acknowledge Robert crushing the shit out of the ball.
