All major networks and streaming services that are contacted by MLB will be airing live Bananaball games, Poker tournaments, Rugby matches, and Cricket in place if a lockout does occur.

>>158104720There's always individual exceptions to generalizations, moron. The point is the majority of fan support is actually on the leagues side this time. If the players union was smart they'd stop fighting the cap itself and fight for player friendly rules within the cap.

So are we going to have no season just like in 1994?
>>158104788astros isn't being voided because the owners all know they were also doing that shit, the astros just got caught

Did my Dwight's Ox win da World's Eries?????
>>158105254This is why MLB will die with the younger generations and the rise of Bananaball. It keeps everyone entertained.

>>158106157What do you mean? It's real, just like this.
>>158106221ur not going to be facing triple A callups trying to eat up innings
No one even asked for the 6th seed we just wanted the WC to be a series instead of one-and-done.
in league's with caps the teams become identity-less, it's all about lucking into a draft pick who's under team control for 7 years

>>158108686dallas is the indian capital, not houston
>>158109461Sox would be winning the game if they just got a fucking hit with runners on. You cant load the bases and not cash any of them in on a true base hit. They've left so many runners on the last 2 games. You cant ask the Pitching staff to keep teams at 3 runs every game.
>>158109347He's just a nice guy.
>>158109461It would honestly be a mercy for you to be eliminated. Team doesn't have the pitching depth to pull off a deep run unfortunately.
Kek'em cubs girls!
>>158109564I just wish it was anybody but that dog ass Cleveland team that never does anything in October. Id rather the Sox be booted by the Rays or Yankees in the division series.
Would the Yankees have won yesterday if that silly fan didnt infere?
>>158109636No, if the fan didn't get in the way the ball might've been caught cause he was clearly over the wall. And as others pointed out even if it was a HR the Yankees would've just lost in extras anyway.
>Benintendies
game 5 it is
Sox should be embarrassed
>>158109636Nah, Yankee fans deserve nothing but suffering every year
it goes without saying, but you need to score runs to win

>>158109785*Saturday's. No good sports tomorrow, might have to actually socialize in the real world on a Friday night.
>>158109792No one needs that
>>158109797There's usually a couple of good college football games if you're into that.
>>158109365does Dallas even have a team?
Can the White Sox just lock in and win game 5? They're the much easier out
>>158109790It actually isn't. He posted proof.Not to mention why would you even think it's a larp, have you seen the White Sox?
God isnt real. He wouldn't let his team get buttfucked by savages if he was real

>>158109856Stop wasting everybodies time in the playoffs then and maybe ill give that shitty franchise an ounce of respect. Cleveland makes it every year and doesn't do a damn thing but job out to real teams. Unserious franchise that only makes it to the playoffs cause every other team in that division sucks more. Every year i gotta watch an uninteresting Indians team waste my time in October. Win a ring or fuck off to the bottom of the standings for a few years already.
>>158109889This
>>158109889we're literally the protagonists this year idiotdestined to bring salvation from a lockout by winning the world series as the lowest payroll team in the game

White Sox win Game 5Dodgers over Brewers in 7Rays over White Sox in 4Rays over Dodgers in 6
3 hours and 39 minutes that game was
>>158109914Because there was a pitching change in the middle of every half inning.
120 years without clinching any postseason series at all at home and soon to be one of only 10 teams to get eliminated after being up 2-0Now do you understand how much suffering it is to be a White Sox fan?
>>158109903>lowest payroll team in the gameFirst, Not even the lowest payroll in the game, 2nd you barley spend less then the White Sox and Rays. Once again a boring franchise that just wastes time. 5 games to beat a white sox team that lost 100 games 3 years in a row.
>>158109931Yeah I'm a Mets fan, I think I get it
>>158109903>we'reit's not football man, don't talk about >your team in the first person
>>158109932firstly, yes we are the lowest payroll. secondly, youre gay. thirdly, dont be intimidated, im not a stereotypical guy. if anything, ill be the one in the kitchen =D
>>158109931Its still been a fun year anon. They should've beat the Astros like they did, but they lost the division to that cleveland team for a reason. They totally ran out of gas in September.
This is what the white sox get for cheaping out on getting pitchersNo surprise Jerry won't spend even when the team is on the cusp of maybe being good again
>>158109927and 15 walks
>>158109952>They totally ran out of gas in SeptemberMore like they ran out of players especially pitchers and Getz didn't even try at the TDL to get any reinforcements.Luis fucking Castillo? Are you fucking kidding me?
>>158109946keep your nerd behavior to yourself. everybody says "we" talking about the teams they support
>>158109956I still can't believe they've made it to game 5 ALDS on "fuck it, bullpen game :3" x6. Obviously it has rapidly stopped working the last two games, but they still didn't deserve to get even this far without actually putting a starter on the mound.
You just know the white sux are going to return to being absolute dogshit after this seasonJust like the 2023 orioles
>>158109946im part of the team mate
>>158109889exactly thisthey always show up with the worst offense in the playoff field. they cant develop good hitters to save their lives. delauter might be the best one they've had since ramirez, who is going to fall off a cliff next year. they got a miracle first overall pick from the lottery and used it on bazzana and he's overhyped. then they always trade for these middling bats like jo adell, nathaniel lowe, lane thomas, etc etc etc and never make a splash.
>>158109972I know its unpopular but i think the idea was the right one. The AL this year was a total shitshow and the only reason the Sox were even in it was cause everybody else was being a fuckup outside the Rays. The team is still in a rebuild cause the league wont be this bad again, and if the sox gutted the farm to get a higher tier guy just to miss the playoffs the next few years they would look like idiots. On top of that its not like any of the pitchers that were in the Sox range to even acquire over the deadline have been lights out. Ill give Getz just a little bit of leeway cause the team wouldn't even be here in the first place if not for the moves he made in the offseason that worked out.
next next next go sox

Imagine all those Japanese fans who became White Sox fans because of Murakami now experiencing the true face of white sox baseball suffering

How do burgers even watch this sport?I can't see the puck.
>>158110045This has been talked about before, the team he played for in Japan has been just as hapless. A lot of his fans thought it was a good fit because of that.
>>158109932Cleveland is lowest in what they are spending on salaries this year. Sorting by AAV will put the Marlins last but they are actually spending more on salaries this season compared to Cleveland. So yes this season Cleveland has the smallest payroll
>>158110045actually they're used to itbut they haven't given up on the team yet either
The WS is this Doyers/Brewers series. There's no chance the Indians or White Sox win it all.

>>158109847calm down Mike
Okay seriously though, I've given this team probably over 2/3rds of my life by now. Through it all from the highs (wait what highs?) to the lows and boy did they get low. I've worn this team on my sleeve, I've been to games where there was hardly anyone else. I've been to so many shitty games and I've also been to big promo/retirement ceremony games with a full house only for the sox to let everyone down just like these last 2 games. Am I just being spoiled or even a "bad fan" for being so angry with them for blowing a 2-0 LDS lead? They weren't even supposed to be here right? 3 straight 100 loss seasons including the 121 record breaker which looking back we never be able to get over that as fans mentally. And especially not with the patchwork pitching and lineup of almost all rookies in their first year never even knowing what the postseason is? At least they even made the postseason and dispatched the hated astros for a first series win in 21 years? Right? Or is that all just cope?Man it's past midnight and I have early work tomorrow but I can't sleep amidst all this quiet seething inside me at this devastating choke

>>158110543The movie:
>>158110477how can one team have so much coolness
this feels personal, nytimes
>>158110568Obviously a Mets fan.
I can’t sleep. How can my feet smell if they don’t have a nose?
I hope the owners break the players union. I hope they lock them out for years if necessary. There needs to be a sensible economy in baseball. No more contracts longer than four years. No more deferred money. No more signing bonuses. A hard salary cap and floor. A percentage-based form of revenue sharing where the upper half of the league contributes a fixed percentage of their revenue to the lower half. Franchises will have a revenue floor imposed on them. If a franchise's revenue remains in the lower half of the league for five consecutive years, the league can disband the franchise, order it sold, or move the franchise to a different city.
>To watch a historic 121-loss modern-era record season, endure the absolute basement of baseball, and then get teased with an impossible "Cinderella" playoff run only for it to blow up in your face is a special kind of sports torture.>The team and the media weaponized that 120-year home-clinch stat (stretching all the way back to the 1906 World Series against the Cubs) to pack Rate Field, charge premium postseason prices, and milk every last drop of fan energy. To up 2-0 in the series, parade the "120 years of history" narrative on every broadcast, and then get absolutely pummeled by the Guardians in Games 3 and 4 feels like a cruel bait-and-switch.>Jerry Reinsdorf has spent years drawing the ire of South Side fans for his notoriously cheap spending habits and outdated baseball operations. Seeing him celebrate a Wild Card win while the fans are left holding the bag after back-to-back home duds feels like a slap in the face. It's the ultimate corporate victory: he gets the packed postseason gates and the playoff revenue, while the fans get the emotional wreckage of a blown home-field advantage.
>>158110672as a neutral watching that 6th inning felt horrifyingsox fans dont deserve that kind of shitcleveland doesnt even care about its baseball team for fucks sake
>>158110723>horrifyingNightmarish. The onslaught of solid hit balls that find grass, your team's pitchers unable to find the strike zone, your team's manager making a million pitching changes so the hell feels like it's dragging on forever. The opposing team is pulling clutch hits out of their ass that you haven't seen your team do for what feels like all post season.Kind of reminds of the 00s/early 10s Dodgers post season appearances
My Royles could bootyblast all these shit teams
>>158110753Have any of those teams ever blown a 2-0 lead? I know Kershaw choked multiple times but was it ever that bad?
>>158110772I don't recall a 2-0 blowster, always felt like they were behind in series and they would lose pivotal games
>>1581107782019 was ahead 2-1 but had the infamous kersh exercising his 7th inning demons in a relief spot only for roberts to send him out for the 8th and give up back to back homers in 3 pitches to tie the game momentmaybe the sox can win a shortened season the following year like the doggies
>>158110792>>158110772>>158110753Funny comparison but unlike the Dodgers then as you mentioned Kershaw, the White Sox don't have any starting pitchers

so, we're just going to start livestreaming executions now?
All I wanted was postseason baseball. The stress and eventual disappointment is what comes with that. I'm not sure why so many Sox fans are crying. It's embarrassing, really.

>>158110637a cap just bails out shitty owners
remember when anti cappies go to cope was>actually what the league really need is a floorthen the MLB put foward their position which included a floor and anti cappies suddenly got really quiet about supporting a floor
>>158111922A cap prevents teams with wealthy owners from using money as a weapon. A cap will prevent teams like the Dodgers, Mets, and Yankees from buying the best free agents. A cap will prevent players from fleeing to the Dodgers, Mets, and Yankees for the money. Meanwhile, a floor will prevent teams from sitting back and getting lazy. A mandate to increase revenue and enter the upper half of the league in total revenue at least once every five years or else be forced to sell or be disbanded prevents lazy ownership.
like i said, only pussy fans and owners want a salary cap. the players would never
>>158111971I remember you being an insufferable faggot lol
>>158111982>A mandate to increase revenue and enter the upper half of the league in total revenue at least once every five yearsthat's not possible
get rid of the draft too
>>158104743Padres really are a pathetic franchise. Celebrating making the playoffs...
This might be the first game this series that the Sox have the pitching advantage. Cleveland gassed themselves trying to stay alive. Burke is the only pitcher on either side that might go 5+.

How can a Major League Baseball team have AA-level pitching? How was this not exposed sooner?
>>158112977They covered it up with their offense. League leading runs scored in the AL. But now that offense decided not to show in the most crucial moments
>>158112977They were middle-third in ERA this season. They are just gassed.
Why are white sox fans so desperate to get raped by the Rays? Losing this series is like the end of the world to them even though they'll get even more raped and exposed if they miraculously win game 5 by the Rays?

>>158113112>>158113125Rays are going to the World Series.
>>158113083This shouldn't have to be explained.I want to beat Cleveland. Getting swept by the Rays would do nothing to me.
There's no baseball on today.
Cleveland is pitching to Vargas like he's '04 Bonds. He finally got a pitch to hit on the 9th and went yard. They will continue to pitch around him. Need whoever is before and after him to make them pay.

>>158104410a salary cap means owners have to open their books. there isn't going to be a cap. what they likely actually want is an even stricter luxury tax system that acts as a cap without them having to open their books.

I would like to thank the San Franscisco Gaynts for Patrick "Patty Barrels" Bayley
>>158113083Nigga u stoopid
She looks like she calls them Indians
>>158113466It was 1948 and the series was not nine game anymore at that point, the Indians won it four games to two. I now hope your team loses because of your utter casualfagging.
>>158110672fuck off fag. white sux jew fans were chanting fucking nananana hey hey hey goodbye in the fucking 9th inning down 5. theres no gentle suffering poor chicago fan. theyre all uppity homos that deserve to suffer

FUCK YOU. you deserve NOTHING. go lose a hundred next season.

>>158113633this is a little overwrought, isn't it? i mean, last 30 or so years cleveland has had plenty of really good opportunities to close the deal. you went to the series at least twice that i can recall off the top of my head. i think both went 7 games. they've been able to rebuild with good cores consistently. you're just not getting the job done. don't whine at anyone else.
>>158113649>>158113633I’m not a Sox fan but your retardation is why I hope your team loses and continues to be the lolcow of the central.
>>158113659yeah and yet the national media isn't crying for the woes of cleveland. they are for the poor whitesox. oh wont you think of the poor whitesox. SOUTH SIDE MAGIC BABY WOOOOOOOO
>>158113466They set the record for most losses in a single season and had 3 consecutive 100+ loss seasons.

Will the White Sox rally for Mike Ditka
>>158113685THEY'VE WON A WORLD SERIES ON THIS SIDE OF KOREA, VIETNAM, AFGHANISTAN, THE FALL OF THE USSR, THE DEATH OF EVERY COMMUNIST REVOLUTIONARY AND NINE FUCKING ELEVEN. fuck you and the "neutral" broadcast team audibly groaning at the guardians not rolling over and dying. lick my nuts
>>158113484You ever think that's because the whole franchise itself is and has been miserable? Why blame the fans for that?
>>158113685He’s too regarded to realize that a better story is >team that lost 121 games 2 years ago has made the playoffs Than>team that makes the playoffs every year chokes constantly And if the “national media” wrote that story he’d just be here bitching about that instead.
>>158113706They didn't even rally for Don Cooper. Disgraceful really.
>Guardians use evil numbers against the Pope
'dians and white sox fans fighting over two teams that won't even make it to the world series kek
>>158113110Love that song
>>158113704its the lack of humility and class from the "poor longsuffering" piss soaked hell franchise, after getting embarrassed two games in a row at home, eighteen runs slammed onto you by the cleveland "cant hit a baseball" guards and 0 capacity for humility. people like a lovable loser. nobody likes an uppity one.
>>158113083>Why do fans always think they are going to win
>>158113733This from a Cleveland fan is just so so sweet.
>>158113731ThisThey're fighting so hard just to see who gets swept by the RaysWho'll then get swept by the Dodgers
>>158113733You’re being an uppity loser right now kek
This is Hedges with fresh shave. He was born like that
>>158113720its the fucking neutral announcers jumping out of their seat at the hint of offense from the white sox and pissing their pants any time something goes right for the guardians. the guards beat the dog piss out of their "opener" and its said with the neutrality of the stock market closing 1 point up. the guards starter gets chased, of course fucking embarrassing, and the color guy is literally coming. it's fucking unbecoming.
sitt down, you fake rookie
Guys guys you both suckI can already picture it>if the White Sox win game 5At least we beat Cleveland>if the Guardians win game 5At least we beat Chicago!Said after either are swept by TB
>>158113788Okay
>>158113788Are you guys really this autistic, fans of teams want to win series. They’d rather win a series and advance than lose a series a go home. Whatever happens next is separate from winning a series. Do you truly not understand this basic human response?
>>158113807Seriously. This series is bound to have bragging rights implications for years.
>>158113650All of that is gay and boring. I'll watch sissy hypno instead
i remember in 2007 i thought that yankees team was going all the way. cleveland benefits from the infamoous midge incident, then proceeds to choke the ALCS to Boston in 7 games.
MY SECOND WIFE IS VERY SMUG
like fighting over who's shitty diapey smells better kek
>>158104343>Sport ruining Manfred changes: 50000000>Sport improving changes: 2 (ABS and DS being 7 games, because 1 seeds should NEVER play less than 7)Sadly, it'll come with an expansion so 24 out of 30 (soon to be 28 out of 32) make the playoffs and the regular season is rendered even more meaningless
>>158113841Why doesn't Manfred create a rule where the dodgers win every year?
>>158113788>id rather lose earlierobviously the preferred answer is winning all the way, and that means that winning is always the preferred option. it is 100% more embarrassing to lose in the ds than the cs. this is same loser cope that lets jordan fans (surprise surprise chicago) pretend like its somehow valiant to lose in the first round and not "where it counts", like it isnt fucking more embarrassing to lose sooner.

Remember that commercial with Jason Benetti and Liberty Biberty? Kek
>>158114002Beats me
>>158114002I honestly have no idea
Well1) The Guards and Sox have single-handedly been keeping baseball interesting since the start of September.2) I was really confident about game 5 thinking Gavin was gonna pitch. Pretty nervous, now.3) Feeling very good for Jo Adell. All those years stuck in the Angels.4) Jim Thome is rooting for the White Sox5) Hicks se prepara...Kwan en primera...el lanzamiento en camino...BATAZOOOO ....PROFUNDOOOO...YOU...KNOW...BROOO!!!
>>158114002Hmm I just don't know
>>158114002Couldn't tell ya
How much sustained playoff success would it take for the White Sox to get more fans than the Cubs?
>>158114002wish i knew
>>158114045Probably at least several years. Its a pretty bleak comparison
>>158114002Yea I'm stumped
>>158114002I don't have a clue
>>158114036>4) Jim Thome is rooting for the White SoxJim is from Illinois. And it was the Phillies who gave him his bag, not the Indians.

Why not have a bye week like they do in Football? Two teams, one from each League, don't play a game for an entire week in the middle of the season.
its hard to get interested when the Rays are just gonna rape the winner anyway
>>158114271just think of it as both these team's world series instead. they don't care about the rays or the next round, they just both want to kill each other and they'll be happy and brag about that even as the rays wipe the floor with them cause that doesnt matter, this does.
>>158110375Since 2010 or so. Early iToddler adopters were constantly sharing their address with everyone. It was hilarious.
>>158114063Several years doesn't sound like that many years. A 5 year run of multiple division titles and ALCS appearances while the Cubs struggle to get out of the wild card round could at least make a dent. A lot of casual Cubs fans felt cheated out of playoff baseball this year and hopped on the Sox bandwagon. It probably wouldn't take much to make that permanent. Then there's the stadiums. Wrigleyville is an appealing atmosphere to young people and transplants, but a new downtown stadium with skyline views like Ishbia is planning would compete a lot better than the one in Bridgeport.
Did white Sox fans celebrated when the Cubs won it?
>>158114336They're mostly the same fanbase, Chicago fans just pick the one that is winning at that time
>>158114336Hell no
>>158114336I’m not sure…
>>158114184Omar Vizquel, pre-1995 Mariners legend
>>158114352Wrong. That might be true of shit like new york and the mets and yankees but chicago is cutthroat over north and southside. even the cubs fans hopping on now with the sox, the sox fans reject them because the hatred runs deep. why do they hate them so much? Mostly because the cubs always got all the attention from WGN or having a better team or more recent success while the sox until just this year have been unwatchable disgraces to the sport. There's a deep divide and there's no such thing as "chicago fans just pick the one that is winning"
>>158114336true
Stop answering questions you don't know the answer to. Just don't respond if you don't know
>>158114336I was literally depressed. All my 108 year drought jokes, gone. No Ottoman Empire existing back then. No Arizona territory getting statehood, a team, and a World Series before them. No Harry Caray living his entire life without seeing it. It's all gone. Useless memories.

>>158114352>>158114377>>158114352>>158114401What aboutDid cubs celebrated when the white Sox won it a few years earlier?
It’s about the journey, not the destination

>>158114374insane cope lmao90% of cubs fans are now larping as sox fans
Happy Leif Erikson Day
>>158114430They all claim they did, but I doubt it. Both teams were in the midst of very long droughts, and it was an arms race. The Cubs were 5 outs away from the World Series just 2 years Prior (oops, too soon?)
https://youtu.be/spOoeguOyNk?t=1637
>>158114508Chicago's a big city. Most estimates put the Sox at 30-33% of the 9 million person market, which is larger than a lot of cities that have one sole team.

>>158114527mets fans don't larp as yankees fans or vice versa. I don't think anyone in Chicago was doing that. The POPE had to go out and set the record straight when people started claiming he was a Cubs fan, remember. Barack Obama never pretended to be a Cubs fan even though they won their title at the end of his term. I don't see real south side niggaz cozying up to those boys town faggots ever.
>>158114497>chokesox win, both of them going to the ALCS/NLCSUh...
>>158114527I would have got in the bandwagon if I were a cubs fan back in the day not gonna lie.Like, you would think it was the closest thing you will get to have a world series.I Also have a friend from Chicago that doesn't even like baseball and he jumped in the Cubs bandwagon that year for the same reason
>>158114569guards aint winning tomorrow im afraid
>>158114577non fans will hop on the bandwagon when their city team is doing well. we just saw it in NYC with the Knicks. that's different from switching teams.

>>158114590Yeah but imagine you are a cubs fan in 2005, you are 95 years without winning the trophy, the Bartman episode was a couple years before which would make you think your team is cursed for life. I would have hopped in the white Sox bandwagon thinking>My cubs are never going to do this I might as well celebrate this as this may be the only time I see a world series in my city
>>158114562The vast majority of Sox fans are descendants of white flight in the suburbs.
>>158114633nope, the celebrating would be artificial and fake. I didn't celebrate when the stankeedoos won in 2009, it's not the same as MY team winning.
>>158114633>My cubs are never going to do this I might as well celebrate this as this may be the only time I see a world series in my cityyeah that's pretty much how it is
