Here we go!
Man at least Chicago has other good sports teams
We don't
Go go Giolito, let the bullpen do the tanking.
time for tank wars
>>78129266
>bears
>bulls
>good
>>78129266
>other good sports teams
they only have the Hawks who are on a decline.
if you're talking about the Cubs then that's a slap in the face to Sox fans.
Bay Area has Warriors and Raiders, but alas I root for other teams.
>>78129370
What about the sharks?
and yeah hawks are about all we have, they're pulling a you, or I guess since you came slightly after, you're pulling a hawks
>>78129406
>What about the sharks?
slipped my mind.
that's just what happens with dynasties. it's a good trade off tho.
It's time for gio
>>78129445
We need someone good at photoshop
Is tonight's game going to be a contest as to who can tank harder?
>>78129544
I'm predicting a low scoring game.
>>78129544
hopefully gio has no part of it
and you know if he can pitch well or keep it close, ill root for the bullpen, unlikely as it is to close a game, to get him his win
>bustcada
dangit yoyo
Rodon done for the season
rip
>>78129728
Man he sure gets injured a lot.
phew nice Gio
>saladman dh
I missed Javi in the booth.
>bustcada
Let's go boys. Do what needs to be done. (not you gio, kick some ass)
>matt avison
>the city of our infield over the last few games
Hard to watch
nice review
>he just slides off the bag entirely
The tankbowl is on
>TFW the jints suck so bad everybody thinks they're tanking
>TFW the White Sox are tanking so poorly everybody thinks they just suck
>>78130188
Sounds about right
well there goes the perfecto
>>78130188
I'd think the latter is wrong seeing how we just brought up chris volstad and al albuquerque
I mean seriously, volstad, how much more tanking can you get?
>>78130188
>tanking so poorly
>thinks they just
Everyone knows they're tanking. They traded away almost all of the talented players away and are playing with scrubs, rookies, and abroo
I'm pretty sure shields is the only starting pitcher that was in the rotation at the beginning of the season. And I think most of the bullpen weren't even on the team opening day
kanny 3-1 in the 6th
Sheets got a HR
and Hickman dealing it seems
>>78130305
All of them weren't
the only guy here on opening day is jpetty and he's out now too
speaking of abroo, think he can keep the 25 (well 30)/100 thing going?
For the love of fuck mattyd
yikes. some real yakety sax going on for the who's infield
finally some defense
At least abroo can catch a ball
cancel the postgame show
engel does it again
run bitch
ruuuuuun
fail
hurf
Pablo may be 0-39, but at least he can still play some defense. that's all he has left.
hello
>bustcada
>bustcada
cancel postgame show
well the sox are tanking and in honor of that, so am I
>>78130740
IMO It's like some kind of thing where Pablo hits better when he's out of shape and can't field for jack shit, but can't hit when he's doing good defensively and looks healthy.
>that's just a little high, ball 4
Hawk is checked out
>>78130959
>BF 1942
my man
>>78130964
and it's funny that one of his only hits for us this year was the home run off Scherzer.
what a weird guy.
>>78131031
after all these years still the best
Oh fucking fuck
Oh dear
>PANDA
HE BREAKS THE STREAK
well shit
HOLY FUCK WHY GIO WHY
>panda breaks his streak but ruins his teams tank
lol
>giants thought they could compete
even the worst player in baseball would be the star of the sox
only the dodgers would be worthy rivals right now
All I fucking asked for is gio getting a QS
all the jokes about the tank dont fucking matter, I just wanted a gio QS
FUCK YOU GOD FUCK YOU
>>78131198
Will you kill yourself already
>>78131191
>>78131198
shut up faggot
also he still can
>>78131209
>>78131215
Is it so hard to hope that our supposed to be promising prospects can do well? He's got nearly a 50/50 strike to ball ratio tonight and that homer was on a 82 changeup right down the middle and up. Why can't we have nice things?
>woe is me guy is back to 2016 form
just end it my man no one wants to hear this shit
>avihits
wew
looks like we got ourselves an entertaining bad game
well fucking shit
well at least no shutout
>>78131254
Oh my lord shut the fuck up
I'm so fucking sick of you whining every fucking game because they aren't winning or something doesn't go your way. Chill the fuck out or go the fuck away
oh and look at that a dinger.
>>78131338
These are tough times man. Can you blame me? We're all coping through the same shit here.
steaks on base again
>>78131357
>Can you blame me?
I don't see anyone else here consistently throwing a temper tantrum
>>78131357
>Can you blame me?
yes, clearly
no one else tries to throw themselves a fucking pity party
>>78131408
>>78131404
Well maybe if they didn't suck so damn much.
Thank you gio
>bustcada
holy fuck moncada holy fuck
fucking hell
Moncada needs to go see Timmy's therapist, pressure's getting to him
welp
That was a strike
That one too
megafacepalm
fuck off already ump
that should have been an inning ending double play, fucking ump
Buster Posey steals home?!?
A once-in-a-lifetime event.
That really shouldn't have happened, so much for the QS
Bummer in tank gonna tank
and now everyone's getting tossed what BS
>>78132128
can't blame them, this ump has been fucking dogshit
I'll just leave this here. Don't think poorly of Giolito because of tonight.
This game is edging dangerously into meme territory, holy shit.
>>78132161
that's definitely off a good deal also, but this ump has still been really bad
>>78132154
no way I'm blaming them. ump was bs. Gio should have been out and got his QS.
>>78132121
Agreed, should have been strikeout-throw out.
I guess in a battle between two monumentally incompetent teams it's no surprise the ump is a disaster as well.
>bullpen time
>>78132178
Nats/Phils game beat us to it, has an Inside the Park Grand Slam
>>78132161
>>78132188
yeah, on the RHH one, the green square in the right middle section of the zone is the pitch to pence, this shows that it was in the zone by a good few inches but it was actually right on the edge of the zone, still a strike though. Looks like it's off by a few inches on the bottom end of the zone also. hard to get behind robot umps when I see shit like this, it's way off
>>78132247
ohhhhhhhhhhhh fuck, i'm just home in time
>>78132346
gotta tank fast
>Engel bunt basehit
>Phillies almost came back but lost by 1 run
Damn
umps strike again for walkada
>abroo
>>78132359
Are there still servers up for this?
Last I checked all the US ones were dead and the Yuros were shit
>>78132919
I think theyre all on FHSW which I don't have... yet. Would love to play online but bots are alright too.
one more inning of this shit
>minaya
