Your Unanswered Questions

RaymondKeeler

In a survivalist quarantine edition of “Apocalypse Sunday Soak,” all members and spouses are present on the deck. Which person is the last soaker standing??

— Raymond Keeler (@RaymondKeeler) July 18, 2020

Chorizy: I think of the three 108ers, I could convince Beef to help me kill MSS because of his delicious marbling. My problem is that as I fall asleep with a full belly, Beef is still looking for that second entree and I’m gone. The wives definitely kill him though. Out of them, it’s gotta be Mrs. BeefLoaf since she has home field advantage.

MSS: I am only afraid of Mrs. BeefLoaf as I am 100% sure she’s killed before and would do it again.

BeefLoaf: Chorizy has survived hanging out with some of the most notorious characters Bridgeport has to offer, 0% chance loses this.

Tony Rocco

If the White Sox end up just barely missing the playoffs and are obviosuly only one starting pitcher away from being a playoff team or World Series contender, can we be upset or is that too harsh?

— Tony (@tony_rocco17) July 19, 2020

Chorizy: Since they currently have 6 starters on the roster, we can definitely be upset with the 2 of them that couldn’t get the job done.

MSS: I am sure Sox fans will be 100% understanding and show tons of compassion.

Summer of George

What will it take for Beef to wear a Madrigal Shirsey

— Summer of George (@SumerOfGeorge) July 19, 2020

BeefLoaf: Anytime fam, you hook it up and send one through, you know I’ll throw that shit on. It would help though if it was like a couple sizes too small, so I look like Scotty from Boogie Nights wearing it.

Sultan of Clout

If the catcher or a slow base runner has the best OBP, should he lead the line up?

— Sultan Of Swat (@SultanOfClout) July 18, 2020

MSS: I’m not sure if anyone knows this but I used to live in California. I played alot of softball. I am not fast, as my size would show. But I did get a few hits a game. Anytime they would move me in the lineup, I’d fuck up. So to be clear, I have no idea.

Who in the 108 will get the drunkest this season?

— Sultan Of Swat (@SultanOfClout) July 18, 2020

MSS: If Sunday counted, I have already won.

Luke Taylor

Scenario: you have 100 dollars to invest in Chicago sports teams based off of your fandom. How do you disperse your fandom moneys? Example: 90 dollars invested in White Sox, 5 dollars in Da Bears, 3 dollars in Da Bulls, 2 dollars in Blackhawks, who cares about Cubs????

— Luke Taylor (@ltaylor_22) July 17, 2020

MSS: $85 Sox. $5 Bears. $5 Bulls. $5 Blackhawks. Right now. As a kid Bulls would be way higher.

BeefLoaf: $75 Sox. $25 Bears.

Pete Chapman

Who do you expect to be coaching the Schaumburg group (AAA coaches or combination of levels coaches) and what do you think their daily activities will be(spring training development or daily inter squad games like what is currently going on)?

— Pete Chapman (@PeteCha56613119) July 18, 2020

MSS: Oney Guillen

Lori Ann Sanders

Kopech…too many questions. Can you guys just sum up your thoughts on him?

— Lori Ann Sanders (@SandersLoriann) July 19, 2020

MSS: Here’s the thing about life, sometimes you take a chance and it works out. Sometimes it takes a giant dump on your lawn. Would I like Kopech pitching? FUCK YES. However, I highly doubt anyone will be complaining when we have that extra year of control down the road.

Cary

2 part question. Who had the best flow out of all the 108ers? And 2nd for beef WhY Do you HaTe MaDrIgAL? Hahaha

— Cary (@Thatbaseballfan) July 18, 2020

MSS: Tough one. But I will go with Chorizy as best flow.

MySoxSummer

First Time, Long Time.

So during these games I heard over and over, these guys are gonna hit alot of homers. And they did. Off our pitchers. Should we be concerned?

— MSS 🧦 (@MySoxSummer) July 17, 2020

Hey @MySoxSummer are you worried about the Cubs pitching staff too?

— Chorizy-E (@chorizy) July 21, 2020

AC Green

The only question is how soon can you get @ymercedes73 on the Soak

— A.C. Green (@A_C_Green88) July 18, 2020

BeefLoaf: We haven’t actively worked on it….YET. MySoxSummer is always good with landing quality guests, surprised other blogs haven’t tried to steal him away yet.

Liam Menus

Whose responsibility is it to clean out the lint trap in the dryer, the person taking their clothes out or the person putting their clothes in?

— Menus (@LiamMenus) July 19, 2020

MSS: I think I am the only one in my house that knows what a lint trap is.

Showtime Samm

Who is the first to leave the Sox based on play so far, McCann or Collins

— ShowtimeSox (@showtimesamm) July 17, 2020

BeefLoaf: McCann is a free agent in the off-season, so I think he’s lox.

Ted Brogan

After our reminiscing about Minneapolis earlier today, what was your favorite memory or fuzzy memory from that trip?

— Brogan (@Tedbrogan23) July 19, 2020

BeefLoaf: It would probably be that lost Saturday where everyone split up day drinking, then got back together to NOT attend the game and watch it at a bar and varying results occurred for everyone, including Chorizy and I being done for the night at 8:30pm

Wet Bandit

What other view do you think is the best at The Rate other than that classic 108 view?

— Wet Bandit (@Wet_Bandit_) July 17, 2020

Chorizy: Flying Elvis view or George Jacobs’s lap. Only two other reasonable options.

Eric

Over/under on Eloy homers at 20? He's been under the radar so far

— eric (@egvvnd) July 17, 2020

BeefLoaf: UNDER, but not by much…I think this is the year that Eloy refines his hitting, shows slightly less power, but more average and discipline and becomes the complete hitter we all think he can be #PrayForTheLeague

Matt Berklan

What’s one food chain that people like that you can’t stand

— Matt Berklan (@ChiBerk96) July 18, 2020

Chorizy: There’s a Papa John’s on Taylor Street. I get irrationally mad about that existing.

John

Drink 12 beers. Step in the box and try to square up a Dylan Cease curveball. Who has the best shot out of you 3 fine gentleman?

— John (@delesiojohn) July 17, 2020

Chorizy: BeefLoaf was always willing to get in the batter’s box like Don Baylor and get beaned. That’s our only hope, so I’ll go BeefLoaf.

MSS: BeefLoaf. BUT after drinking 12 beers we’d be distracted and head to The Pink Monkey.

Joey P

Carlos Rodon. “IF” he stays healthy and I hope he does, does he finish the season 2nd statistically behind Giolito in the rotation?

— Joey P (@TheOrigMrJoeyP) July 18, 2020

MSS: God I hope so.

Certifiably Sub-Par

Basically, everyone on the Chicago White Sox can mash.

Rank these players according to who will have the most home runs during the 2020 season for the Pale Hose:

Edwin Encarnacion
Jose Abreu
Eloy Jimenez
Luis Robert
Yasmani Grandal
Yoan Moncada
Tim Anderson
Nomar Mazara

— Certifiably Sub-Par (@Michael_AC23) July 17, 2020

BeefLoaf: In order, Abreu, Jimenez, Encarnacion, Moncada, Robert, Grandal, Anderson, Mazara

Simeon F

If Nicky Madz and Yermin Mercedes had a baby where would it rank in MLB Top 100 prospects list?

— Simeon F (@Simpossible) July 17, 2020

Chorizy: First top 10 MLB prospect to leave the sport to become a professional wrestler.

Hangry FC

Whos your favorite obscure Sox that isn’t named Palka

— Hangry FC (@Hall02) July 19, 2020

MSS: Mark “Chief” Salas.

Jason Hosking

Three things with Leila was great…And I understand the reasoning wirh holding the language back. But …my question is , how does a high as fuck MSS, that’s also drinking goose island cans hold back his cussing for an hour. I honestly didn’t fuckin think he could do it!

— Jason Hosking (@Aussiesoxfan) July 17, 2020

MSS: Pretty amazing huh? I don’t swear around my kids EVERY FUCKING DAY. I can do it, but it’s still amazing.

Aaron FitzMagic

Is there a grilled meat that you won’t eat?

— Aaron FitzMagic (@CheapSeats411) July 18, 2020

Chorizy: I would eat guinea pig, but I’ve been told I cannot eat BeefLoaf and Bonita’s guinea pig.

MSS: No. Double no if I have no idea what it is.

Scott Garcia

I know each of ya’s has their own twitter account but Who controls the @fromthe108 account? Do U guys all access it or just one of u? is there a mystery member no one knows of or is it @108Morton ??

— Scoooter35 (@scottgarcia35) July 17, 2020

BeefLoaf: All tree of us have access to the 108 account, but in the history of the account is probably manned 70% me, 20% Chorizy, 10% MSS or something like that…in the early days when we tweeted a lot from this account, it was mostly me. None of us control the @108Morton account, all I’ll say is I know who does and they do a great job with it!

MSS: The best 108 tweets are the ones that start out with “I think…”

Iowa White Sox Fans

Do you see a trip to Iowa in your future?

— Iowa White Sox Fans (@IowaSox) July 18, 2020

MSS: I can’t get these guys to go to Sterling. Guessing Iowa is way outta the question.

BeefLoaf: Like Jack Klumpus riding in Cadillac’s, I’ve been to Iowa, hundreds of times, thousands of times….I mean, my old lady is from there and we ain’t been back in a bit, so I could see me doing it in the next couple tree years.

Carlson

If you had to pick one would it be Frank Thomas or Paul Konerko at first??

— Carlson (@SEANCAR79351511) July 18, 2020

BeefLoaf: FRANK THOMAS

MSS: The Big Hurt.

Señor Sox

How do you guys feel about a possible name change to the Cleveland baseball team?

— Señor Sox (@SenorSox) July 17, 2020

Chorizy: The logo was the more fucked up thing in their organization. They’re still seemingly phasing that out. If the name change helps that along, go for it. There are some cool Cleveland Spiders logos floating around, might be a good call back to a crazy story of the worst team in baseball history.

MSS: I could give a fuck. I miss Chief Illiniwek but the book is closed IMO.

Preacher Abe

Question is WTF is TA still spitting?

— Preacher Abe (@PreacherAbe) July 19, 2020

Chorizy: I’ve seen about 20 players spitting over the course of the last few games. Probably not a good idea, but definitely not just Timmy.

Johnny Shoes

You can have one player from 2005 team to join the Sox roster this year as they were back then… GO!

— Johnny Shoes (@JSchuzer) July 19, 2020

Chorizy: I initially thought JD, because that would be a tremendous add in RF. But I have to go with Mark Buehrle. Adding his 2005 season to any roster improves them by 4-5 wins.
