So not the main point of the video, but the bit about Jason Benetti and the way that Reinsdorf talked about him absolutely crushed me. As a Yankee fan who doesn't watch the non-YES baseball broadcasts often, I didn't realize I recognized his voice, let alone the fact that we have the same condition. I'm not sure what I want to do with my journalism degree when I leave undergrad but it's comforting to know someone else with my disability has succeeded on national television and is beloved to the point of being considered one of the best at what he does. He deserved better from the org, as does anyone who loves this team.
Jason is the best. Him and Luis Roberts HRs were the only thing that made this team watchable. And that says a LOT. I hope he gets more primetime or national TV gigs.
@ozziehall779 You’re absolutely right. I’m a Red Sox fan and I like Dave O’Brien but it is a treat to hear Jason Benetti’s voice. Also, not the point of your comment but you are also a testament to personal drive in the face of adversity and I hope you have nothing but success in your endeavors.
Cubs fan here and what I have to say is that’s fucking criminal! That’s like saying Tom Ricketts is so bad that Pat Hughes, the modern day voice of the Cubs, hated him so much that Pat left for the Cardinals, and Tom Ricketts then saying Pat sucked at his job, despite being not only beloved by the fans but also a HALL OF FAMER!
@@CASEMSTRJason does a lot of NCAA football/basketball for fox in the offseason. Truly a Jack of all trades and an inspiring sports nerd (I mean that very positively.)
This was great. Thoughts from a Twins fan: A) combining metal and baseball talk is my favorite activity so thank you for this 2) Jay Cuda is a gift. C) their defense has been so embarrassingly sloppy that I actually feel bad for them and I think that’s a crime in some Minnesota state statute. D) didn’t realize Uncle Al was a White Sox fan. Today I learned. Thanks for taking one for the team and cheers!
Just want to say -- avid TH-cam Baseball Channel watcher and the quality of your videos are up there with some of the best. Looking forward to watching you blow up. Well done!
Jason was the greatest part of the last decade. He is literally impossible to not love. And I am hopeful he will get to watch semi competent baseball in Detroit, and get more National TV gigs.
Considering the Twins are currently considered to be the default winners of the 2024 AL Central title as of right now, I hope the Tigers show up and make the Twins work for it. It's been too long since there's been multiple ACTUALLY GOOD TEAMS in the AL Central.
@@katherineberger6329gaurdians slump last year shouldn’t have happened and I’m glad to say in 2024 every team in the division is solid besides the Sox. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to accept as a Sox fan. The only fanbase I truly wish misfortune upon is the Cubs. And that’s not even because the rivalry. It’s because the White Sox are so bad that Cubs fans are forgetting how hard it used to be to be a Cubs fan. Creating an arrogant fanbase that poorly represents why this city cares about baseball.
Got to call them making the playoffs for the first time in a decade...against the White Sox for their record breaking 121st loss of the season. Karmaaa
Die hard Sox fan here. Just want to clarify a few things about this video. 1) RIP Jason to Detroit. 2) I'm sorry that you chose a game with Gordon Beckham in the booth. 3) Tim Andersons slump was due to a rag blog exposing that he was having a child with another baby mama. This for some reason was suppressed from pretty much all news outlets considering it was true. 4) Our 3rd base coaches are pretty bad. McEwing always sent so many slow runners home and our new one isn't any better. 5) Thanks for putting Berto in. Possibly the best rant in Chicago sport radio. 6) Hahn & Williams both deserved to be fired 10+ years ago. Ironically Williams going over Hahns head to trade Burger was the straw that broke the camel's back. 7) To answer your question, yes Jerry is the devil. He also needs to sell the team.
22:32 this is one of the truest and saddest things about being a Sox player/fan. It hurts me so bad. The phrase “it’s just a game” will never be a satisfactory response for this feeling. Not just for baseball but for life. Because we’ve all been in this position. And we all will be sometime in the future.
watching benetti leave, the man who entirely caused me to start doing play-by-play, has been the most heart wrenching, and destructive moment in my sports fan life. this team is rotten to its core. it makes me so, so upset. One day it will get better. One day I hope.
As a Cubs fan Benetti and Stone are two of the best in baseball if not THE best. Benetti does every sport amazingly well but you can tell baseball is where he shines brighter. Him leaving I think does more damage to the Sox than putting a bad product on the field. Would not be surprised if Stone walks after this too.
For the record the broadcast not playing the audio from the studio isn’t a one off error. For whatever reason MLBTV just doesn’t play the studio audio for us
Came back to this video today, as a White Sox fan I knew it could get worse, but this is historically worse... I feel like my old highschool baseball team would keep a completive game against the Sox.
I hit my breaking point with them after this year after all the damage they did to my mental and emotional well being and I’m like yeah I’m done I can’t take any of this anymore I need the whole offseason to decompress and hopefully the Cubs will cure my CTE that Jerry gave me and I can actually enjoy the season from the first pitch of game 1 to the last out of game 162. BTW before you go out and call me a bandwagon one side of my family are all Cubs fans and the other side are all White Sox fans so it was never easy growing up for me this way. I’m sticking with the Cubs long term regardless of how good or bad it gets for the long term as I can’t take any more of the cancer team that is the White Sox
Wow this video and channel is incredible. You have the storytelling scriptwriting of Jon Bois and EmpLemon with the well-researched analysis of Foolish Baseball. I know it's cliche to tell smaller channels "why don't you have more subs!!" but as someone who watches baseball a LOT and seeks out content for it, I can't believe I'm only just now finding you.
Thank you for the video, honestly as a Sox fan I feel like people (especially you Jerry) deserve jail time for what they done to the fans and the ball club
Life long Chicagoan here, even tho I'm a Cubs fan I feel bad for all the white sox fans who deserve better. Also, I get to feel their pain whenever basketball season rolls around because the Reinsdorfs are just as bad at running their NBA team as they are at running their MLB team
Thank you for this video sir. Growing up in Oklahoma I have followed the team from afar. It’s been maddening with the lack of innovation from the front office coupled with the love of crying poverty in the 3rd largest media market in the country. The fact that Rick and Kenny are gone is hopefully a step in the right direction.🤞🤞 While Chris Getz is probably the last choice for a new GM he’s at least acknowledged that this team needs to attempt to understand the concept of defense. Hopefully this rebuild goes better than the last.🙏🙏🤞🤞 Until things improve I will do the only thing I can and not spend money on them. Hopefully Getz proves me wrong.🙏🙏
Getz is already remaking the team in his image-former Royals and .150 hitters who may not have talent, but dangit, they're scrappy and they know how to play The Game.
I genuinely don’t know how much more incompetency I can take. I just want to root for a good team for once in my life. I was only 4 when the sox won it all in 05. It’s becoming harder and harder to be a fan and justifying giving this team any of my time or money going to games. There’s no reason a franchise that’s just as old as the crosstown cubs, in a big market city, with loyal fans, should be so bad. Everything’s gotta go, starting with Jerry.
He's so cocky and arrogant. If you're going to be unlikable, you have to be the best in the game. Tim Anderson isn't a bad player, but he'll never be a hall of famer, and imo isn't even a perennial all star caliber player. If Jose Ramirez was cocky and a jerk like Anderson, I'd be willing to say at least he's an excellent player. I didn't really understand what was up with him and the "Jackie Robinson" thing either. Did Tim Anderson really say he's like Jackie Robinson? For one, Jackie was a hall of fame quality player even without the color barrier breaking. I just looked his WAR up and it's 16.2 career with -2 this year. Jackie Robinson's career WAR is 60 something without the color barrier factor. They are not alike. They couldn't be more different.
@@SconnerStudioswhere are you getting cockiness from? You have to be great to even have a chance to be in the league in the first place. You all talk about the man like you personally know him
I’m a white Sox fan, watched almost every game this year for reasons unknown (I’m probably a masochist) and you just made me re watch one. Thank you this is the high I was looking for
I can get behind a number of guys on the White Sox, one I absolutely cannot get behind is the one they decided not to pay 14 million dollars a year after he produced one of the worst offensive years of anyone under an actual contract and who was in a majority games in a given season. He is the real “clubhouse cancer” as you put it.
I didnt remember this game until the walk off from freeman. I vividly remember watching luis look up, and just start strolling to the dugout. The same feeling every fan had.
@NoMoreFielders So the reason Jason Benetti sounds like he is "talking to himself" during the broadcast at the 17 minute mark of the video, is because when you watch the games on the MLB app, MLB for some reason silences the NBC Sports Chicago studio when Benetti talks to them. This happens every game if you watch the Sox on MLB TV. Now if you watch the games on NBC Sports Chicago on local tv, you can hear the NBC Sports crew talking to him and most times they show a split screen of the game and them in studio when they are talking. I have no idea why MLB TV does this but as someone who watches every Sox game, this occurs every game.
I really wanted to be mad about your edit at 10:33 because I still remember how heartbreaking and deflating that injury was for us when we were finally feeling on top of the world, but I was too busy laughing my ass off. F you, great video
heads up thats not a production error mlb footage doesn't keep any calls to the studio for nbc sports broadcasts, and jason was talking about something else I'm pretty sure
I’m a Braves fan, but I’ve watched the White Sox closely since 2017 because back then our rebuilds were often paralleled with each other. EVERYONE was thinking that both orgs would be long time contenders once their farm systems matured. I swear since then, it’s like the baseball gods decided that ATL was going to get every drop of luck while the White Sox would get zero. It’s absolutely wild how many Braves prospects have been massive hits, while White Sox prospects have busted nearly universally (at least relative to their hype).
Jerry also had barely waited for the ink to dry on his paperwork buying the team before he was demanding a new stadium or he'd move the team to Tampa. He rejected the ballpark design that would eventually become Camden Yards in favor of the generic stadium that got built. He's since floated the idea of moving the team to Nashville recently if the public won't build him another stadium (while hundreds of millions are still owed on their current one). Hell, up until a few years ago, the Sox actively tried to keep crowds under 10,000 fans, as they wouldn't have to pay stadium rent for the day if they couldn't hit that mark (this was repealed in the 2010's). Jordan falling to the Bulls was the best and worst thing to ever happen to Chicago sports, as it tricked people for decades into thinking Jerry is a good owner.
If the fans stopped paying Reinsdorf to put this despicable product out on the field I bet he would change, you gotta speak his language though. All I have heard this whole video is impassioned insightful analysis and that might make you feel better but it wont change anything…
That's where I've been torn. Want to go watch and support my team, don't want to give Jerry any of my money tho and they're even worse in 2024... so I haven't seen a single game.
This was a truly long and sad season for my White Sox we have such a great lineup they just can't stay healthy I'm an Eloy Jimenez super collecter i have over a 1000 cards of his they need to man up in 2024 and play ball this Sox fan will always be there i used to have season tickets in 2003 and 04 i wish I had them in 2005 but I still watched every game man that was the greatest year of my life i just wish these guys would play as a team that's all I have to say let's go white Sox you can put it on the board yes
how can anybody hate Benetti?! Even as a Twins fan, I would listen to the White Sox announcers whenever the Twins would play the Sox because of how much I liked Benetti. How can you hate him? He's inoffensive and wholesome. Reinsdorf truly is the devil, just like the Pohlads.
It wasnt just that they lacked talent. Its that the management is imcompetent, the ownership hates their own fans, there werent many if any likeable players on the team, they consistently lacked energy, ugly and boring stadium, and much more. Also they've never had any real leadership for the clubhouse. Anderson was a bit of that in 2022, but that's all I can think of recently. And with recent luminaries like Robin Ventura and Tony LaRussa its not surprising I guess. jason benetti was great, and they lost him too now lol.
I'm a Cubs fan who highly respects the white sox fans I know. I grew up on the south side and... They're a... Complicated organization. Especially considering their relationship with the working class on the south side only became friendly post NWA+frank Thomas(Bridgeport is a suburb in the middle of the city). Reinsdorf fucking sucks and he's just as bad with the Bulls.
Sox fan living on the southside. I’m truly jealous of what you guys have up north. Piss poor management has ruined this franchise. The cubs actually try. And even if they didn’t, you guys will always have the fan base. The sox can’t afford to be so garbage
@@JP-ji6of I have my own criticisms of the Cubs organization but there is definitely a stark difference between the two. And the thing I truly believe that sucks is that it's much more enjoyable to watch baseball games at Comiskey than Wrigley. Sox fans are much more into the game of baseball rather than socializing and in many ways simultaneously less distracting and more socially welcoming than my experiences at Wrigley. Truly a fanbase I respect wholly who deserves a much better product than they get.
Seeing that last part made me genuinely think “what has it got to be like as a White Sox fan and dealing with that ownership” then I remembered that I’m a Panthers fan and have football Jerry to deal with
i’m assuming you watched this game on mlb tv. the ‘broadcasting error is a weird quirk of the fact that, for whatever reason, chuck and ozzie (the nbcsn chicago studio hosts) only appear on nbcsn chicago and nowhere else. it’s very silly but when watching the game on cable in chicago it broadcasts them just fine. benetti and stone have addressed this on air (usually when the producer decides that it would be funny to make the segment extra long because ozzie guillen is being himself to a particularly extreme degree) and it’s just a weird quirk of the rsn
As a diehard white sox fan I’d rather go through the nightmare of 2024 than the trainwreck of 2022-2023. The only thing that had me at the games last year was guys like Lynn, Cease, Eloy, TA, etc. Seeing them fall apart after being one good month away from being a solid team was infinitely more painful than being the literal worst team in baseball. Fans jumped to blaming players so fast. But seeing breakdowns like this proved we were always one bad play or stressful scenario away from throwing a good game down the drain. Also I remember going into my garage and breaking old mirrors by throwing a blitz ball after this game. I think I literally wanted my elbow to rip off my body I was so mad.
The beatdown of Tim Anderson by Jose Ramirez was the best thing to come of the 2023 season. Oh, and Aroldis Chapman actually being a good pitcher again was nice too.
Owners like Reinsdorf always make me wonder how any sports fan can say they like capitalism. The man has spent decades being THE WORST but he doesn't lose money.
George Preston Marshall, owner of the Washington Redskins from 1932 to 1969, definitely takes the cake. There have been cheap and/or racist owners (Donald Sterling, Marge Schott, and Dan Snyder come to mind), but none of them were threatened with eviction from their own stadium for refusing to integrate.
Lots of people who claim to unreservedly love capitalism will also rant about EA’s NFL exclusivity deal. The only competition they’ve had in a decade….is themselves with the recently released College Football 25
Life long south side fan here... Jason Benetti happens to be a client of mine... Obviously extremely talented broadcaster and personally I can attest to his overall character... He will be truly missed
Just to clarify, that wasn't a broadcasting error, the Chuck and Ozzie promos are always one sided on MLB streams. Local programing promotional materials aren't part of MLB's broadcasting rights, so they don't play them. This doesn't make much of a difference when the promos are diegeticly delivered by the broadcasters, because MLB isn't going to mute the feed, sometimes they'll let it slide, other times they'll just come back from commercial late, but because Chuck and Ozzie are broadcasting from the NBC Chicago studio, they can control when the audio is sent. It's sent through to the local broadcast, but not to the MLBTV stream.
Did you see Reinsdorf's press conference after they fired the GM? That was my breaking point for supporting the team, and I don't plan to spend any money on them until he's gone. Hopefully that's soon, one way or the other.

The front office staff comparison that showed the 50 ticket sale workers is insane.
I keep coming back to this one, it just seems so much more personal than most baseball videos on this platform.
I didnt remember this game until the walk off from freeman. I vividly remember watching luis look up, and just start strolling to the dugout. The same feeling every fan had.
Same
@NoMoreFielders So the reason Jason Benetti sounds like he is "talking to himself" during the broadcast at the 17 minute mark of the video, is because when you watch the games on the MLB app, MLB for some reason silences the NBC Sports Chicago studio when Benetti talks to them. This happens every game if you watch the Sox on MLB TV. Now if you watch the games on NBC Sports Chicago on local tv, you can hear the NBC Sports crew talking to him and most times they show a split screen of the game and them in studio when they are talking. I have no idea why MLB TV does this but as someone who watches every Sox game, this occurs every game.
2024 white sox really said "hold my beer."
thank you for acknowledging our pain lmao
Watching this now is even more infuriating.
I really wanted to be mad about your edit at 10:33 because I still remember how heartbreaking and deflating that injury was for us when we were finally feeling on top of the world, but I was too busy laughing my ass off. F you, great video
heads up thats not a production error mlb footage doesn't keep any calls to the studio for nbc sports broadcasts, and jason was talking about something else I'm pretty sure
that being said it wouldn't surprise me either lol
Yeah I figured that could be the case but then Jason made the “kill mix/minus comment” which made me think it was an actual production error.
I’m a Braves fan, but I’ve watched the White Sox closely since 2017 because back then our rebuilds were often paralleled with each other. EVERYONE was thinking that both orgs would be long time contenders once their farm systems matured. I swear since then, it’s like the baseball gods decided that ATL was going to get every drop of luck while the White Sox would get zero. It’s absolutely wild how many Braves prospects have been massive hits, while White Sox prospects have busted nearly universally (at least relative to their hype).
Jerry also had barely waited for the ink to dry on his paperwork buying the team before he was demanding a new stadium or he'd move the team to Tampa. He rejected the ballpark design that would eventually become Camden Yards in favor of the generic stadium that got built. He's since floated the idea of moving the team to Nashville recently if the public won't build him another stadium (while hundreds of millions are still owed on their current one). Hell, up until a few years ago, the Sox actively tried to keep crowds under 10,000 fans, as they wouldn't have to pay stadium rent for the day if they couldn't hit that mark (this was repealed in the 2010's).
Jordan falling to the Bulls was the best and worst thing to ever happen to Chicago sports, as it tricked people for decades into thinking Jerry is a good owner.
Can't wait for this year's episode 😂
If the fans stopped paying Reinsdorf to put this despicable product out on the field I bet he would change, you gotta speak his language though. All I have heard this whole video is impassioned insightful analysis and that might make you feel better but it wont change anything…
That's where I've been torn. Want to go watch and support my team, don't want to give Jerry any of my money tho and they're even worse in 2024... so I haven't seen a single game.
Therapist: What brings you here today?
Me: Sox.
Therapist: Can you repeat that?
Me: White Sox.
Who could have imagined that the sox would see newer lows in 2024
This was a truly long and sad season for my White Sox we have such a great lineup they just can't stay healthy I'm an Eloy Jimenez super collecter i have over a 1000 cards of his they need to man up in 2024 and play ball this Sox fan will always be there i used to have season tickets in 2003 and 04 i wish I had them in 2005 but I still watched every game man that was the greatest year of my life i just wish these guys would play as a team that's all I have to say let's go white Sox you can put it on the board yes
The St. Anger references throughout are unreal lol
how can anybody hate Benetti?! Even as a Twins fan, I would listen to the White Sox announcers whenever the Twins would play the Sox because of how much I liked Benetti. How can you hate him? He's inoffensive and wholesome. Reinsdorf truly is the devil, just like the Pohlads.
It wasnt just that they lacked talent. Its that the management is imcompetent, the ownership hates their own fans, there werent many if any likeable players on the team, they consistently lacked energy, ugly and boring stadium, and much more. Also they've never had any real leadership for the clubhouse. Anderson was a bit of that in 2022, but that's all I can think of recently. And with recent luminaries like Robin Ventura and Tony LaRussa its not surprising I guess.
jason benetti was great, and they lost him too now lol.
As a non-baseball watcher, and lover of NBA ball, I heard Jerry Reinsdorf, and ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING makes sense 😂
The little Thom Brenneman reference was perfect 😂 🤌🏼
I don't watch baseball but as a Bulls fan, I understand the struggle. Nice video!
The Bulls and Sox are ran the exact same way. Jerry needs to go
If you want to get into baseball watch the Cubs
Oh don’t worry. _2024 is already looking so much worse for them._ *15-45 through June 2nd.*
And they are even worse in 2024.
*Laughs in 2024 White Sox*
Oh, NMF. Sweet Summer child...
You should do a part 2 with the 2024 white Sox it would be much harder/painful😂
I'm a Cubs fan who highly respects the white sox fans I know. I grew up on the south side and... They're a... Complicated organization. Especially considering their relationship with the working class on the south side only became friendly post NWA+frank Thomas(Bridgeport is a suburb in the middle of the city). Reinsdorf fucking sucks and he's just as bad with the Bulls.
Sox fan living on the southside. I’m truly jealous of what you guys have up north. Piss poor management has ruined this franchise. The cubs actually try. And even if they didn’t, you guys will always have the fan base. The sox can’t afford to be so garbage
@@JP-ji6of I have my own criticisms of the Cubs organization but there is definitely a stark difference between the two. And the thing I truly believe that sucks is that it's much more enjoyable to watch baseball games at Comiskey than Wrigley. Sox fans are much more into the game of baseball rather than socializing and in many ways simultaneously less distracting and more socially welcoming than my experiences at Wrigley. Truly a fanbase I respect wholly who deserves a much better product than they get.
Thank you for a reminder to some fans that it can always be worse.
I started watching MLB this season and I chose the white sox because an Australian played for them.
Should've picked the Braves. They had Peter Moylan and he still does commentary for them sometimes.
"Chris Sale: Not a fan of throwback jerseys" is when I knew I was in for a banger
I can't think of the White Sox without thinking about the fan rant on the local Chicago radio.
Track choices on point, and varied
Seeing that last part made me genuinely think “what has it got to be like as a White Sox fan and dealing with that ownership” then I remembered that I’m a Panthers fan and have football Jerry to deal with
i’m assuming you watched this game on mlb tv. the ‘broadcasting error is a weird quirk of the fact that, for whatever reason, chuck and ozzie (the nbcsn chicago studio hosts) only appear on nbcsn chicago and nowhere else. it’s very silly but when watching the game on cable in chicago it broadcasts them just fine. benetti and stone have addressed this on air (usually when the producer decides that it would be funny to make the segment extra long because ozzie guillen is being himself to a particularly extreme degree) and it’s just a weird quirk of the rsn
As a diehard white sox fan I’d rather go through the nightmare of 2024 than the trainwreck of 2022-2023. The only thing that had me at the games last year was guys like Lynn, Cease, Eloy, TA, etc. Seeing them fall apart after being one good month away from being a solid team was infinitely more painful than being the literal worst team in baseball. Fans jumped to blaming players so fast. But seeing breakdowns like this proved we were always one bad play or stressful scenario away from throwing a good game down the drain. Also I remember going into my garage and breaking old mirrors by throwing a blitz ball after this game. I think I literally wanted my elbow to rip off my body I was so mad.
I was at the game you selected! Will never forget the CT3 grand slam!
Don't look now, the 2024 season is well under way...
I would watch this team lose and think it can’t be worst than this. Man it always got worst… from the coaches to the players it got worst
The subtle st anger references throughout the video were golden
the first game of this Dodger series was my favorite of the year, then I was completely apathetic for the rest of the year
Solid video. Was not expecting to see Al Jourgensen mentioned in a baseball vid tho lol
The beatdown of Tim Anderson by Jose Ramirez was the best thing to come of the 2023 season. Oh, and Aroldis Chapman actually being a good pitcher again was nice too.
Being a sad sox fan brought me to this video and finding this channel and man was this savagely hilarious. Instant sub
Owners like Reinsdorf always make me wonder how any sports fan can say they like capitalism. The man has spent decades being THE WORST but he doesn't lose money.
Because there are a lot worse owners than Reinsdorf. Look at who owns the A's
@@adamd5849there plenty of bad owners besides him. He’s a bad owner, but he’s not even close to the worst owner in history.
George Preston Marshall, owner of the Washington Redskins from 1932 to 1969, definitely takes the cake.
There have been cheap and/or racist owners (Donald Sterling, Marge Schott, and Dan Snyder come to mind), but none of them were threatened with eviction from their own stadium for refusing to integrate.
Lots of people who claim to unreservedly love capitalism will also rant about EA’s NFL exclusivity deal. The only competition they’ve had in a decade….is themselves with the recently released College Football 25
Life long south side fan here... Jason Benetti happens to be a client of mine... Obviously extremely talented broadcaster and personally I can attest to his overall character... He will be truly missed
:58 lifelong metallica fan, really loves st anger then and now. Wish they'd remix it for general population to appreciate it more
Just to clarify, that wasn't a broadcasting error, the Chuck and Ozzie promos are always one sided on MLB streams. Local programing promotional materials aren't part of MLB's broadcasting rights, so they don't play them. This doesn't make much of a difference when the promos are diegeticly delivered by the broadcasters, because MLB isn't going to mute the feed, sometimes they'll let it slide, other times they'll just come back from commercial late, but because Chuck and Ozzie are broadcasting from the NBC Chicago studio, they can control when the audio is sent. It's sent through to the local broadcast, but not to the MLBTV stream.
Fantastic video, this has summarized my misery as a Sox fan perfectly. Earned a subscriber right away.
Did you see Reinsdorf's press conference after they fired the GM? That was my breaking point for supporting the team, and I don't plan to spend any money on them until he's gone. Hopefully that's soon, one way or the other.
As a sox fan, we’re sorry you had to watch this. It was even more painful to watch live
9:11 - Fuckinnnnnn LOLLZZZ!!
🤣🤣🤣 THIS cat wins for THAT awesome stat-graph ALONE! 👌
I don’t care WHO your team is-if you’re as hardcore as _this_ kid, you’re a fan the sport needs WAY more of. 🤷♂️
Never thought I’d see Metallica memes and baseball in the same vid
Imagine watching all 162 of them
