As much as a team could need to win a game in May, the Chicago White Sox needed to win this afternoon against the Kansas City Royals.
Some fans were hopeful.
I look to you

My sweet father Vince
To plug the leak
The royals lineup, please mince
Gordon keeps telling me
I need to hold my load
But if we don’t win this game
My will to live will explode
Sox by a million ❤️ ❤️
Go Sox!
Some were stern.
At some point, someone has to do something to wake this team up. Someone needs to be held accountable, even if they aren't necessarily the one to blame.

This team looks lifeless and complacent. They need a shake up.
Some longed for simpler times.
Me thinking about the good ole days when WST would just meme other teams fanbases to death after the White Sox destroyed someone: pic.twitter.com/iYdyqKJoI5

And some wrestled with the complexity of loving something terrible.
You see, it’s actually a lot of fun to cheer on a team you hate pic.twitter.com/bu7Mkl6NyE

The game didn’t start great. The Royals jumped out to an early lead against Vince Velasquez, and Sox fans flocked to Twitter for their usual sackcloth-and-ash routine.
Why am I watching this game? Why can't I learn to love myself?

Slowly but surely, the White Sox offense began to show some signs of life.
Are we, dare I say…..hitting?

And — perhaps more surprisingly — patience.
Two walks in one inning?!!?! pic.twitter.com/ocFuFXs1hZ

Finally, the White Sox finally broke it open, with two players in particular making huge contributions.
The White Sox offense seems to mostly be, “Tim Anderson, sometimes Luis Robert, and maybe somebody else will show up on a given day, I guess.”

Tim sat out of game two of the double header bc his back hurts from carrying this god damn team

As much as I am so mad at the White Sox, Luis Robert is that guy and I love him

GET THE SCIENTISTS WORKING ON THE PANTERA CLONING TECHNOLOGY IMMEDIATELY!
Can we clone Luis Robert? Do we have the technology?

Seven runs? In this economy?
13 hits, 5 walks, 7 runs….what an offensive explosion by Frank Menechino!!

7 runs and 14 hits. So… everything is fine, now. Right???? pic.twitter.com/HRu2078Mpf

We’re not saying this was why, but we’re also not not saying that.
Leury out of the lineup and we score 7 runs?

The Sox will now face a big test as they travel to the Bronx to take on the New York Yankees. Dear baseball gods, please let the White Sox win at least one of those games.
All the White Sox need to do is just win one game in NY to keep morale in check. pic.twitter.com/hqTJMg7O4X
