I'm not necessarily rooting against the White Sox but its a sick joke that the Cubs were 0-2 in the playoffs and the Brewers and White Sox are 5-0 so far, possibly 6-0 since it looks like the Guardians have no desire to score again.

Edit: And the White Sox take the lead right after I say that lol

So, this is what's it's like to have some of your better players not continually piss down their legs?

An incredibly mediocre WSox team is seriously going end up in the World Series, aren't they?

Well, they do have a bullpen that doesn't walk the world or give up gopher balls like their going out of style.  Plus some of their top hitters actually putting the ball in play.

It will be hilarious when the Sox lose the next three games.

Rays have had traffic on the bases all three innings while the Yankees have done nothing, but one pitch and it's tied 1-1.

Freddy looks pretty good. His velo is back but he threw too many changeups in a row in the same location to Rice

Yeah, Freddy has been pitching well for over a month now.  His price must be going up.

[Derwood]

Yankees with 3 hits and 5 errors, lol

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Go Rays.

Yeah, I want to see them beating the Sox, the Dodgers or the Brewers.😄

[JHBulls]

White Sox and Rays now one win away each from one of them making the World Series. 
 

Might as well just hand the trophy to one the Dodgers, Braves or Brewers.

I don't think Cleveland is dead yet. They just need to pull a 2016 Cubs and win 3 straight,  2 of them on the road.  

But there is a non 0 chance we see a I94 WS

Which gets me ill

We all know that the Whitesox will win tomorrow while the Rays and Yankees play all 5 and all extra inning games which will burn their arms and their top starters will skip a start. Then Atlanta will shock the Dodgers to hand the Brewers the LCS with how things are playing out.

Deciding who to root for is like choosing between drowning in freezing water or climbing over an ice berg where there’s polar bears waiting to eat you.

I’ll never understand why white sox fans hate the cubs so much. I’m planning to go to a Sox game next week and am rooting for them

Wear Cubs gear and let us know how it goes. While I know a lot of good Sox fans, the fan base has a significant number of horsefeatherss.

who would you all root for in a chicago/milwaukee world series?

White Sox. Lesser of two evils and good for the City.

They’re dead. They can’t hit

Anyone see this?  Wouldn’t surprise me

I don't care one bit that the White Sox are having success. Admittedly I am a little annoyed that the Cubs drew (at the time) the hottest team on the planet and even had they beaten them would've had to get through the supernatural Brewers, while the White Sox drew probably the easiest bracket in the history of the MLB playoffs - but that annoyance would apply to any team in the White Sox' current position.

I don't believe this is unique to the Brewers, any team, if they found a pitching tell, would use it.

[chibears55]

Not much excitement in LDS, where 3 series can end in a sweep, and im sure MLB and TV Networks cant be happy with losing Ad money, etc.

Keep an eye on some questionable calls in those games to extend series 😅😅

 

[gflore34]

Does anyone else think we might see a lot of runs in Brewers-Padres tonight? Although neither team has big numbers vs. the posted starters, I don't believe the starters are pitching all that well.  Even the Cubs were starting to get to Pivetta, he only went 3.1, had he been allowed to go longer they very well may have scored more.
