Movie wasn’t enough?

The White Sox are the first team to clinch their division in 2021. Also the first team ever to clinch a division in a 7 inning game?
Anyway, I have to celebrate this because these moments come few and far between for us Sox fans. :P

The possibilities of a 3 way or a 4 way tie for the last WC spot in the AL are fascinating.

I can't believe we beat Tampa Bay.
And now, after that idiot pitcher for the White Sox opened his baby tantrum mouth I'm going to have to root for the Astros. I hate when my team plays my home town team - but always the Red Sox first!
Cora served his time. No second chances eh? And the 2021 Astros are not the 2017 Astros.
Maybe we should still talk about the 1919 World Series and that cheating team from the South side or A-Roid or Steinbrenner the Felon (oh, wait - til his fellow criminal Tricky Dick pardoned him? Great role model that one.)
All teams have their scandals. Get over it.
The white sox guys were pretty much all banned for life and they cheated to lose which is counter intuitive. The steroid policy is the policy. At some point though the players need to take personal responsibility for what they ingest. The “I wasn’t sure what I was taking” excuse is horse shit. ARod will probably never be in the HoF because of it. Not familiar with Steinbrenner thing.
Cora was the leader of all that sign stealing bs. He shouldn’t be allowed in baseball anymore. He tainted the game as did all the players who participated.
EDIT: just looked up Steinbrenner. The felony had nothing to do with baseball so whatever. The fact that he paid someone to dig up dirt on winfield is pretty reprehensible and he should never have been reinstated imo. BUT it didn’t affect the integrity of the game like what Cora (astros and Red Sox) and the White sox did.
Well, I'm fixing to log into Far Cry so I'm not actually watching the game. Again, Cora served the sentence MLB handed down.
I can remeber when Pete Rose was a really really bad guy- and now MLB partners with gambling (as well as other sports - but hey, if you have a prob we have a phone number!). Double boxing to squeeze in a 15 sec ad during the game - need that revenue. Not to mention prostituting out the pitcher's mound for advertising - example Romans. Guess lots of those yelling and screaming fanatics need their ED drugs...
And I guess the fact an owner is a convicted felon - that's something to have kids aspire to - be a felon! Own a team! MLB doesn't give a shit.
MLB has no moral authority. And it's not if but when the next scandal breaks lose.
LET'S GO DODGERS
#RepeatLA
Kinda interesting that the 2 teams cited for cheating are playing in the ALCS. I wonder what that says? lol
Spoiler: 10-15-2021 01:26 PMfernanditoAll I know is I want a WS rematch with the Houston Asterisks* so we can beat those cheating, trash can-banging phucks into the ground. Fairly and squarely. 10-15-2021 08:39 PMJoe315I hate the dodgers. Hate the Astros for fucking the dodgers. Go braves. 10-19-2021 02:45 PMStill ServantI can't believe the Red Sox are this close to going to the World Series. They were a last-place team last year and barely added anyone. You're telling me Cora makes that much of a difference? 10-20-2021 02:35 PMfernandito 10-20-2021 03:21 PMStill Servant 10-20-2021 04:06 PMMerlin1958 10-27-2021 03:16 PMfernanditoWhen Astros lose, America wins. 03-02-2022 05:29 PMStill ServantWhat a shame. 03-02-2022 06:19 PMMerlin1958Have you guys seen this???

Also, what do the owners have against the shift? Pitch clocks are fine. Universal DH is great and long overdue and I don't even mind the expanded playoffs. but what's wrong with defensive shifts?
I don't get it. 03-11-2022 01:02 PMIwritecodeThis cracked me up. Baseball is back baby!

I won't be buying anything from anybody advertising on a baseball jersey.
