… is it Sunday yet?
Don’t let our record fool you. We are the worst team in baseball. We are running back this exact core next year as well. The royals didn’t even want our manager and he’ll be back next year too.
Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That – that’s about it.
Baseball terrorism, arrest every FO individual. Jesus Christ
Lol
Thank every religious diety ever for Jason & Steve. Anybody else & I would have been out in April or May. Although I wouldn’t have made a “goodbye cruel Sox reddit” post lol.
Getting pounded by the fucking Royals? Just when i thought we’d finally found the bottom the ol’ x axis does with the gaping maw and takes us lower.
Good evening tonight’s top story: everything is awful
I don’t know why I watched this game today. What am I doing with my life…🤦♂️
Here we are
Rock bottom
Fast track to Chicago A’s…
I hear Julio Urias is going to be a free agent after the season.
Arrest Jerry Reinsdorf
Remember salt of the earth 😂
Losing to lower-record teams on a consistent basis. Who does that?
The White Sox do that.
Bless the White Sox, Sox fans, the memories of my father and the ‘59 team, old Comiskey, the ‘05 team and the time I met Ron Kittle. I might see you next year but maybe not. It’s sports and entertainment, lucky to have the diversion but I’m signing off. Hope Vaughn develops into a good player.
I usually don’t get into football until the Sox are out of it – all into football this year – who is watching and taking this punishment
Looked and played like crap
Pedro’s boys sure do play.
Remember Jerry and Getz think we are contenders next year and all of these guys are coming back
