    I kind of wish Springer had gotten ejected after the second blown call. It was not as egregious as the first one but how could it have been?

    You know I could say that this game would've been in extra innings had Chad Qualls never appeared, but we all know that's not how it always works...

    Don't worry... something will... in a HUGE way.

    In fact, they're going to bust out at the best time... when they play division opponents.

    **** it. At least I can say I saw the first HR from a future Astro HOF kid instead of watching the GS b****es. So much young talent so still excited as hell.

    Yeah... if it was still 2-0, Robertson (not Duke) starts that inning... he's probably every bit worth the money the White Sox foolishly gave him (the same money he turned down from the Astros).

    The team and manager are in a funk. Hinch has been making some stupid decisions recently that have contributed to the loses as well. Just a frustrating stretch. Correa is for real though no doubt.

    LOL... they're the same decisions he made earlier in the year that resulted in wins.

    We're back to saying every move he makes that works is "good", and every move he makes that doesn't work is "bad"???

    Is the home plate umpire making a spectacle of strike calls a sudden phenomenon, or is it just because they're always late?

    Bad lineup formulations, bringing in Qualls in a close game, etc. Nobody's perfect but Hinch has contributed to the bad baseball being played lately too. Oh well...

    The White Sox should be counting their blessings that they didn't get slaughtered tonight.

    Again... the same moves and lineup formulations being done just as recently as 1 week ago when they were going for a sweep of a 4 game series.

    c'mon man...
