Thought I'd put together a nice little best of list for the salt of the earth users/not bots/Italian beef ingredients that make up White Sox Twitter. Since we weren’t able to stop by 108 on a Dollar Dog Wednesday, see Fan From 1962 off on the Rock Island, or like something ChiSoxMike said, not because we agreed with it, but because it made us feel better, we took to Twitter this season. (Actually, wait, nothing changed for us and ChiSoxMike this year.)
Better
explain it with the first award, from @Wh_Sox_Mike24:
“Best SoxTwitter Explanation in a Gif or Video Clip”

"THESE are my people!"
Next, let’s go to the worst weekend of the year, a botched 7 inning doubleheader against the Covid Cards. @Go_GoSox was there to talk us off the ledge:
“Best Laugh After a Bad Start”

One of the best games this year came in Lucas Giolito’s no-hitter.
Equally historic was the Twilight Zone-esque cutaway from the middle of
gameplay to several minutes straight of celebrities doing anti-online harassment
ads. While everyone else ferociously tweeted at NBC Sports Chicago to see if
the IT Intern was on his way to the Park (“Shit! Forgot my mask!”), here we
have @YinkaDoubleDare and @davelevora in a tie for:
“Best
Historical Narratives of the Great NBC Sports Blackout of 2020”

As the season winds down, also, comes our breaking point
with commercials, with one notable exception to come later. I was torn between “Tom
Time” and the “Bing Bang Bong” for worst constantly replayed advertisement, but
it’s really the latter that still haunts my dream and gets stuck in my head
just by writing about it.
Your
runner up to the “Best Coping Joke for a Commercial Played Way Too Many Times”
comes again from @AJEarley4
Now I ran a thing most Fridays where people would guess who
would hit the first home run of the night. Despite that I didn’t really plan on
giving an award for someone who called an event in a game this year. But this
prediction from @RegionRat14 was pretty damn impressive- you earned this one my
guy.
“Best I
Called It Moment”
