So, not having participated in many of these and certainly not being a member of the All-Timers group (all 10, HSA, KenWo ... ?), there’s little I can offer in terms of Methup history.
But there are a few recaps on SSS that can fill in some blanks — not just for new SSS members, but for those who were there ... and drank it all away ...
Five years ago was Methup V, by all accounts a ribald affair which included the host leading a chant of Fuck Nick Swisher.
There have been holiday meetups.
There have been playoff watching meetups.
Anyway, I figured with early tailgating for Methup X, and the possibility of a loooooooong game like last night, perhaps I should put up a gamethread simply devoted to the SSS gathering. A place for memories, comments, live reports from the scene, whatever.
In all likelihood, there will be no comments whatsoever! But I want to account for the possibility.

And now, let’s catch you up on today’s batch of injuries and transactions, per the White Sox:
Prior to tonight’s game, the #WhiteSox placed Nicky Delmonico on the 10-day DL with a fractured third metatarsal on his right hand, and recalled RHP Dylan Covey & INF José Rondón from Class AAA Charlotte. Following last night’s game, Chicago optioned Carson Fulmer to Charlotte.
The lineups:
It's Star Wars Night! Tonight's #WhiteSox starters.
