Bird App Recap: Twins 4, White Sox 0
Boring baseball and Bears are doing the Chicago sports thing
The White Sox are playing a meaningless game smack dab in the middle of the Bears game. Which game will be tweeted about more? I will give you three guesses, and the first two don’t count.
Why would you want to watch this game when this is the lineup?

I am here to assure you that disgruntled baseball fans are successfully being converted to disgruntled football fans.
Justin Fields is holding the ball way too long

Those last two plays are on him
THROW THE BALL!!!

Somebody please take the horse blinders off of Fields so he can see the whole field WTF man . Throw the God Damn ball and stop holding onto it so much

OK, now that we have surely gotten that out of our system. Let’s get to some baseball. Because there is nothing to celebrate about this season, we must celebrate anniversaries. Now, what happened after they won the division?

Congrats to Rocco and his wife. They sure know how to commit to the bit.
Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli is missing today's game because his wife is having... twins.

The numbness is coming for you in all aspects, don’t worry.
I’m numb to the White Sox ineptitude but the Bears make me want to cry

It’s Chicago sports. We’re allowed to compare.
Taking a page out of the @whitesox playbook. Just absolutely a pathetic excuse of a team

Scoreless tie through four or losing going into the fourth quarter? Pick your poison.
Dear Bears,

Please don’t make me put the Whitesox game on.
Thanks,
Sad Chicago Fan#ChicagoBears
There’s the White Sox disappointment.
Just one hit allowed by Dylan Cease through 4.1 innings. Then comes a single, a walk and a three-run homer. Sox down 3-0 in the fifth.

I am so sad.
Edouard Julien homers for the Twins.

HR from left side of the plate at Guaranteed Rate Field this season:
11 for White Sox
45 for Opponents
If you want to watch good Chicago sports, you should turn on the Sky playoff game. Women just do it better. I don’t make the rules.
ALRIGHT SKY (y’all turn on the Sky game)

If anyone was wondering, the Bears took themselves out of the game on a pick-six.
Oh my god the Bears are really the White Sox?

You’re probably wondering what we’re actually recapping here, and I am here to tell you, nothing of note has happened in this game except for that three-run home run. At least Dylan had an OK day.
Dylan Cease done after six innings of three-run ball. All those runs came on one swing, a three-run homer in the fifth. All told, he gave up four hits, walked three, struck out five on 106 pitches.

Oh, the Twins homered again.

MIN 4 @ CHW 0; TOP 8
The White Sox have lost. Good news? They’re done with the AL Central this season. Bad news? There’s still two weeks left in the season.
White Sox finish the year 23-29 vs. the AL Central
