I was not predicting things to end up the way they have the night Tim hit the walk-off homer against the Yanks in the Field of Dreams game. 😞

My dream, that will never happen, is they level the current ballpark into a parking lot and rebuild original comiskey in its original spot. Make it a modern replica, similar to what the Yankees did with new yankee stadium, but without the pretentiousness.
I love most of this idea, but I wouldn’t want an upper deck in the outfield to block the view of the skyline.

I want the Leury Garcia Era back!

Sure, Jim, that’s exactly in the Sox’ offseason plan.
First, cancel the annual fan fest.
Second, make the most spectacular free agent signing in the team’s history, and then have no forum on which to show him off and take a bow.
Reinsdorf showed up at the Soxfest after the Belle signing. Do the math, Jim.

And will leave as the most successful owner in franchise history.
From championships to return on his partners investment.
Faint praise. You’re comparing him to Comiskey, Veeck, and the Allyns, the last two with no money to spend and without a sweetheart lease deal.
None of those previous owners had near the resources afforded Reinsdorf, and yet with such an advantage, just one trip to the World Series, and ZERO playoff series wins in the other 41 years.
PATHETIC.

The reign of terror is over when the Reinsdorf cabal is no longer in the owner"s suite.
This ending was predictable the day TLR was hired.
42 years of one mind-numbing, franchise-crippling decision after another. If you take a step back and have a holistic review of the four plus decades of ownership by Reinsdorf, it’s beyond appalling. He’s really been a horrible owner.
It would be a dream come true if Reinsdorf joined his dear pal tomorrow and surprised us all with the announcement he was selling the club and walking away as well. Won’t happen, but it’s fun to dream about.

The Guardians will sweep this series and we can put this team to rest.
Great! Then we can count on you logging off any moment now and not posting your negativity the rest of the way this season.
Win, win for everyone!

Sox will get to face the actual Verlander in 10 days.
Too early for a no-hitter alert?
Too early to hear your negative BS, for sure. 🤮

Man I really wanted Yoan to become a star. It’s a bummer it didn’t work out that way. He’s still a fine player that’s having a really tough season. I expect him to bounce back. But he’s never coming close to the ceiling he had and that sucks.
I still see his 2019 season and think he can return to that level, at least.

TA was supposed to be the face of this team and a leader. Instead he goes out and gets a random jersey chasing gold-digger pregnant and his world is totally f-d up.
He is far from the first dude who has screwed his career chasing tail but that doesn't make it any less stupid.
Has anyone ever told you your insights are, well, not very interesting?

Terrific effort by Johnny tonight. Let’s go and win this thing for him.

UC on game or concert days is a mess to get to by car. There are less transit options as well. West Loop has exploded and seems like a much bigger draw than the South Loop, but Armour Square vs Near West feels about as detached from either respectively. 290 sucks worse anywhere IMO than the Dan Ryan getting to 35th. UC area definitely wouldn’t be an improved location for the Sox. It’s a little too late to build in the South Loop and going suburb kills half of the draw. A new park where old Comiskey was is most feasible to me - if it ever gets to that point.
Sort of like a do-over, build a ballpark they should have built the first time around. One facing the magnificent skyline and with a far more reasonable upper deck in terms of steepness.
Imagine the difference in the upper deck experience if you could see the skyline beyond the scoreboard from most of the seats up there wherein you also don’t feel like you’re getting vertigo because of a steep angle. Put the entrance to the upper deck in the middle of the deck, not at the base as it currently is, so nobody would be faced with a huge hike to get to their seats. I think the demand for an upper deck seat would almost do a 180 if all of this were to happen, and would go a long way towards addressing the team’s long-running attendance issues.
Seven years left until the lease on the current ballpark runs out, and that’s on a collision course with the advent of new ownership in this same time frame, so as get closer to all of that I can’t imagine how the talk of a new ballpark won’t steadily increase. Should be very interesting!

Sure thing Bosley
Why would you criticize another White Sox fan diehard? As goofy as you can be and certainly are, at the end of the day, we know you’re a diehard Sox fan.
So are those folks who chose to make the short trip in the middle of the summer to Minny to see their Sox play there in their beautiful ballpark

Probably the same kind of diehard like you checking into a game thread for this Sox team.

17 years is a long time, and the Sox have won a grand total of three post season games since then. And, of course, they lost every post season series since then. 2025 is just around the corner, and it will be 20 years since this team has appeared in a World Series. And JR and the same front office will still be running the team and they still will be making the same mistakes. But he'll tell you he really wants to win.
This is Jerry Reinsdorf’s 42nd (!) year as owner of the White Sox.
In his first 41 years, there’s only been ONE year when his White Sox team won a postseason series - 2005.
In the 40 other years with him at the helm, there has not only been NO postseason series victories, but a mere SIX postseason appearances and a mere SIX playoff game victories.
If that doesn’t scream UTTER FUTILITY, I don’t know what does.
Not to mention, but the four plus decades of his *ahem* leadership has included one mind-boggingly, boneheaded, franchise-crippling decision after another. Put the current LaRussa debacle as the latest in that series.
Luckily for the fan base, we are in the twilight of the current ownership, and if you look hard enough at the horizon, you can see new ownership that will likely come in, clean house, and hopefully change this culture of losing we have suffered under with Reinsdorf for way too long.

Stony already setting the excuses up for the Sox saying there is only 6-7 more minutes of good visibility
Or maybe, just maybe, it’s the same, relevant observation he and every other Sox announcer has made at this time of day on a sunny day game.

If they fire him next Monday after the Houston series, it would be exactly 36 years apart. Won’t happen, but the symmetry would be cool.
It takes a man to do a man’s job in this organization, and the one man who could and has, Hawk Harrelson, is gone now.

Anyone familiar with how Jerry Reinsdorf handles situations like this, after witnessing four decades-worth of his franchise-crippling decisions, one right after another, knows the last thing he’s going to do now is fire Tony LaRussa.
It’s not going to happen.
Reinsdorf hearing those chants yesterday only made him dig his heels in deeper in his typical “I’m smarter than everyone else, and I’ll show you all that I am!”, and he’ll stick with LaRussa now and hope the combination of everyone coming back from the injuries at the time the schedule becomes easier will turn this thing around and propel the Sox to winning the division and getting hot at the right time in the postseason.
The guy is now living for the “I told you so!” moment later in the year. LaRussa is, sadly, not going anywhere.

The thing with Leury is if you only use him sparingly like a 26th man, he’d actually be valuable to a good team. The fucking problem is thinking you can play him this much and as a leadoff man, no less. It’s a stupid fucking organization.
How does the Hall of Fame manager not know this?
-
Shame on Tony LaRussa for putting Leury in a position to fail.
Lead-off against the Dodgers? Really?
The problem is the manager and front office, not the player.

Just now, Chicago White Sox said:
You’re greatly overvaluing Leury even when things are going right for him.
When are things going right for him? We’ve yet to see him in the role he’s suited for, which is the super sub role.
He keeps getting pushed into a starting role due to injuries, the crazy manager, and an ineffective front office who did a terrible job addressing the second base issue this past offseason.
Remember: he didn’t pencil himself into the lead-off spot tonight against one of the best teams in baseball.

Hes been the worst hitter in baseball. He's not a good anything
He’s not the worst hitter in baseball when used properly as a utility player.
If and when overexposed in a role he doesn’t belong in, yes, he can look bad. Most players cast in a role they don’t belong would as well.
As for the snarky he’s not good at anything comment, he’s good at being a super sub who can give you good defense at SIX positions, while providing good speed offensively.
He’s been here awhile. You should know that by now.

I’d be happy with a 2-1 White Sox winner at this point.
