When the hitters “cheat”, “hang ‘em high.” When the pitchers cheat, not a single fucking word from mainstream media.

One miserable grown-up part of me says "It's a wildcard series. Get a fucking grip and celebrate when you win something real".
But fuck it. They're having a good time. Get your fucking party on, boys!

Robot umpires flip 54% of challenged calls as Reds lead way
Robot umpires overturned 54% of challenged calls in the first season of the automated ball-strike system as catchers were far more successful than batters.Learning when to challenge is key.
The Cincinnati Reds had a net gain of 16.8 runs, according to Baseball Savant calculations of total run value of overturns on challenges. The Los Angeles Angels were next at 14.0, followed by the Athletics (12.3) and Minnesota Twins (10.1).
Just sayin': The "robo ump" should just call all the balls/strikes via an ear piece transmission directly to the home plate ump. The home plate ump makes that call after factoring in the other facts, i.e. "did he go around?" and "was the ball a foul tip?", etc.

Celebrate it when you can. Outside of this and the 2005 World Series (fuck yeah Mark Buehrle), they haven't won a playoff series since 1917.
Which is a little misleading, because until 1969 there were no series to win besides the World Series. But since 1969, if the White Sox made it to the playoffs, they lost the first round. Other than 2005 (fuck yeah Joe Crede).
Also, they won the World Series in 2005 (fuck yeah Bobby Jenks).

Just sayin': Did "divine intervention" help the White Sox defeat the Astros?
"As I have noted, sport can truly become a school of life, where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together," the pontiff wrote to White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf.
"In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will continue to foster bonds of friendship and solidarity among people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
"With these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones."

Pope Leo XIV sends blessings to White Sox ahead of playoffs
The Chicago White Sox, looking for every bit of divine intervention that they can get heading into the postseason, got a letter of support from Pope Leo XIV prior to Tuesday's playoff opener against the Houston Astros."As I have noted, sport can truly become a school of life, where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together," the pontiff wrote to White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf.
"In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will continue to foster bonds of friendship and solidarity among people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
