    I don’t care that this is a rebuild and it was expected to be a losing season.  Any GM who builds a lineup this historically bad should be out after their first year.

    It doesn't help that Getz is shopping from the leftover bin at the dollar store but these guys all suck

    Balmer is a Clipper fan's dream for ownership. The 2 guys I can think of that have more money than they know what to do with are the Mets & Panthers owners. I am not sure how that will all play out in New York and Charlotte, especially Charlotte.

    I wonder if the next White Sox owner is already negotiating with Jerry behind the scenes. I hope it's  George Lucas's wife Mellody Hudson. She is a Southside Sox fan with access to billions of dollars.

    As a Panthers fan I can tell you their owner David Tepper, who is one of the richest  in sports is more hated than JR is by White Sox fans. He is not afraid to spend money, but is involved so much to the point where he suggested plays they run. His short tenure so far has been a disaster and goes to show you a new owner may not fix things. A lot of these owners think they are so smart they know better than the professionals and many are Narcissists.

    Sox fans are a weird bunch. 

    Practically my whole life, people bitched about the current stadium.  Now, they are planning to build a ballpark that looks like it would be one of the premier sports venues in the entire country and a large segment of Sox fans suddenly fell in love with the current park.  

    Today on the radio, Laurence Holmes was making a huge deal that it only takes him 8 minutes to get to the Sox game now.  The new park will take him 18 minutes he said.  This was supposed to be damning evidence against having a beautiful new stadium. 

    The new site is near all the major highways.  It will have access to a metra, red, green, orange CTA lines.  It will be accessible by water taxi.  It will be walkable for a whole bunch of people who live and work nearby.  And yes... it will have parking.

    It will be built in an up and coming area.  It will have great views.  It will be near a ton of bars and restaurants.  It will include a super cool park/green space for people to hang out. 

    The park will undoubtedly have better seating.  It will have better bathrooms.  It will have better food options.

    It will also end the "Will the Sox move to [insert mid-market city]?" discussions that pop up here every once in a while.  It should inject some life into the organization and allow them to invest more money into the club in the future.

    Most importantly, it will most likely be a much more enjoyable place for fans to go for a game.  I love going to New Comiskey... but come on, this is going to be so much better.  

     

    And the best part is at some point,maybe even before it's completed,there will be new ownership that is willing to put a good product on the field. If this is JRs parting gift, thank you very much.  He can even call it Reinsdorf Park if he wants.
