This is officially the best season of baseball since 2005 for me. The Sox are hot and Arte Moreno sold the Angels.

I’m in such a good mood, I almost don’t care if we win or lose tonight. ALMOST.

Agreed. Such a magical year, they have blown every expectation so far out of the water. I’ve watched 100+ games this year, and no matter how the rest of the season goes - I’ll remember 2026 fondly

I went to an Angels game the year before they won the World Series. I got to see the rally monkey live in action. Angels have always (unfortunately) been my second team since then. I remember watching the ‘02 WS with my dad as if it were the Sox in it and was super cool that they were just a few years later. Super pumped to hear that news but still so bummed it didn’t happen 10 years ago and could have seen what they would have done with Ohtani :(

Sorry to break it, but the Sox really are not hot. They are 14-14 since August and 9-7 since the 15th. But they sure are a lot of fun to follow this year. Can’t dispute that!

Feeling really good about tonight. Offense has been streaky and Burke has been struggling but this just feels like a W. Go Sox!

Anyone remember going to some of the games Liam Hendriks closed for us later on in his White Sox career and there were chants of "Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!" just beginning to appear out in the bleachers whenever he came on? I always thought that would have been a cool little tradition had he stayed on a tad longer.

Anyway, that's neither here nor there. Let's hope the boys get off to a good start. GO SOX!!

This team is a legit contender and we’d be running away with the division if we had prime Liam. I think about him every game we have a save situation lol.

We need to smash this series. C’mon Sox. This one is almost as important as the Cleveland series. If we can hold on to first, slap some losses onto the Astros, we might be able to squeak in with the second place slot come playoffs. That would be perfect. We can wish for a perfect scenario, especially when it is attainable.
