It always seemed strange to me growing up not knowing any White Sox fans. Heck, channel 55 out of Fort Wayne even carried them for a few years when LaRussa was there. Seems like everyone was a Reds, Cubs, or Tigers fan in my part of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe I found one on eBay I ought to buy it and send it to him... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Reds decides to start hitting against once they were out of contention. They are up 13-1 going to the 9th against the Pirates and will win their 4th in a row. In those 4 games they have scored 37 runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody but the Yanks... I've been so detached from baseball this year I didn't even notice. That is a heckuva race. I'll self report a mistake...back in July when Mariners traded their ace reliever to Houston I thought it was a horrible move to trade your ace to a team ahead of you. Still think it was a dumb move but Mariners only 1.5 out with 5 to go? Pretty good job out there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They love their team, hate the ownership....plus it's a Seahawks and Seahawks Region only.

I grew up about 3 hours from St. Louis, 4 hours from Cincinnati and about 6 from Chicago. Both of my parents are native Chicagoans, specifically dad being a south side native and a Sox fan. And who did I pick as my team? The Mets. That’s right, rather than side with one group, I just decided to piss off everyone. I know that’s absolutely shocking, given the source. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 As a Sox fan, I think the hating of the Cubs is more good natured than serious. At least that is how I am. Got a chance to watch the whole Sox game (vs the Reds) last night. First one I've caught in a week. Their hitting is rounding into form with everyone back and healthy. I think Luis Roberts is a future MVP. A true 5 * player. Keep an eye on him. The pitching has me worried. I would like to have our All Star (Carlos Rodon) start a playoff game. Looks like he will pitch a few innings tonight but, as of now, not looking like he would start in the first round. I believe Houston matches up well with our fastball pitchers. I have less than 50% confidence that they make it to the ALCS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 I've always been a little skeptical of the postseason odds on ESPN. A couple weeks ago, they had the Red Sox, Yankees and Blue Jays all at 60% or higher to make the playoffs. They now have the Blue Jays at 18%, even though they're only 1 game behind the Red Sox (75%). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 As many know the Bears and Chicago are going back and forth on Soldier Field. Was just sent this rendering.
