Gamethread: White Sox at Angels

Happy Monday, White Sox fans. I hope you’re staying indoors, as the forecast at home calls for ... copious amounts of smoke? Luckily, the good guys are opening the series against the Angels in Anaheim, and their lungs will be spared from this bizarre anomaly at home.

As for the Angels:

The first pitch is at a reasonably sane 8:38 p.m. CST. Fire up those air purifiers and stay indoors, Chicago. We have a series to try to win.
