“He must have been drinking something — he can’t just play so well naturally,” the team’s post claimed.

In a bizarre and fiery post on their official homepage, the Chicago White Sox sent shockwaves through the baseball world Monday morning by hinting at legal action against Major League Baseball, following a dominant performance by Red Sox right-hander Walker Buehler that sealed the series for Boston.

The White Sox, clearly frustrated after a tough loss, took direct aim at Buehler’s stellar outing — a 9-strikeout masterclass on a day Boston was celebrating the anniversary of a franchise milestone. The homepage article didn’t hold back, stating:

“He must have been drinking something — he can’t just play so well naturally.”

The post went on to question how MLB allowed such a performance to happen on what it described as “a scripted fairytale day for Boston,” and accused the league of “looking the other way while one team plays like it’s October and the other gets stuck in spring training mode.”

While there has been no official confirmation that a lawsuit is actually being filed, the article’s tone suggests the White Sox are leaning into full drama mode — or possibly venting through satire. Either way, fans across the league were quick to react.

Some saw the post as sour grapes, while others appreciated the theatrical flair.

“Imagine getting struck out nine times and deciding it’s time to call a lawyer,” one user joked on X (formerly Twitter).

Meanwhile, Buehler himself remained unfazed, simply telling reporters:

“I just pitched. That’s all. Guess they didn’t like it.”

Whether this outburst leads to real consequences or just lives forever in the hall of baseball’s strangest reactions remains to be seen. One thing’s certain: the next Red Sox–White Sox series just got a lot more interesting.
