    Just curious, are there many Sox fans in your neck of the woods, at one time it was a huge Sox area as was NW indiana.

    I grew up in Lake Station (East Gary) In. and everyone seemed to be Cubs fans except for my father and I. When we played baseball at the park I was the only one wearing a Sox hat. A few years ago I went to a restaurant in Miller Beach and the waitress told me how nice to see someone wearing a Sox jacket as she was overwelmed with Cubs fans.

    Yeah I'm definitely hoping Cleveland gets swept in the first round now.Ā 

    They are very cocky in light of the fact they clinched in the final week against a trainwreck of a team like the Sox in the worst division in baseball. I'm sure they will be owned by whoever they face in the playoffs. Cleveland assholes.

    Agreed and sorry. This post was just a matter of catharsis for me, realizing there was a worse time to be a Sox time.

    But, hey, two years after that dreadful time in 1988, Frank Thomas showed up and the Sox had their best 15-year run in the modern era of baseball. Always hope. Itā€™s baseball.

    I understand and appreciate your passion for White Sox baseball brother. As I has stated in an earlier post I had joined Soxtalk because I needed a place to share my frustrations with this team. Misery loves company and as a Sox fan for 52 years I have had my share. My first year as a fan the team had a 56w 106L season so I should have known what I was getting into. Like you say Always hope.

  4. Bill HALLERĀ  Joliet born former major league umpireĀ  died August 20 at 87 years old. He is best known for his argument with Earl Weaver in a 1980 game which can be seen on you-tube. Do modern era umpires say " Fuck you" to managers who come out to argue?

  5. I am mad and depressed as it is and this topic isn't helping matters. The revenues from some of these sun belt states are not that great. Do you think Reinsdorf regrets that the White Sox didnt move to St. Pete? The Rays and the Marlins arent doing that well financially as the White Sox. Didnt anybody notice the White Sox World Series parade in 2005.? If the White Sox can play championship style baseball for a few years then they will dominate the Chicago market. Let the Pittsburgh Pirates or Detroit Tigers move to Charlotte or Portland.

    Chicago White Sox- The less you give a fuck- the happier you will be. Couple this with a picture of an evil smiling Jack Nicholson wearing a Sox hat. I sawĀ  this on beer sleeve at a shop{minus the Sox reference} and thought it was funny.

    Oh sorry. Slogan already adapted by Sox management.

    Cool cushion, they must have at least 2 different designs as mine had the Sox batter logo

    I have a seat cushion from 1987. The back of the cushion says Kmart 1962-1987 25th Anniversay. I was sitting in the upper deck when a blown call by the umpire triggered a flurry of cushions raining onto the field. Grinder are you sure it was TLR or could it have been Jim Fregosi
