Ballparks I have been to: Comiskey Rate Wrigley New Tiger County Miller/American Family Metrodome New Twins ballpark Old & New Busch Coors Field Dodger Anaheim (old and new configurations) Petco St Pete Petco and Coors Field in the modern era have provided experiences for my family that are off the charts great! Those ballparks are cool! Just a blast and wonderful customer service! Great fans...respectful and fun! But nothing tugs at my heartstrings like thoughts/dreams of Comiskey (for a lot of reasons)! Seriously...Comiskey still makes appearances in my dreams!

I’ll stick to current stadiums: Safeco/T Mobile Oracle Petco Coors Kauffman Miller/American Family Wrigley Rate Busch Comerica Great American Progressive PNC Rogers Nationals Camden Fenway Favorites: Petco, PNC, Oracle, Fenway, Camden, Wrigley (fight me) Meh: Nationals, Rogers, Progressive, Rate (fight me again)

No. Put every spare dollar available into the pitching staff. The Sox will have more than enough outfielders by the end of the season. Stay focused!!

Another F in White Sox history.

Comiskey New Comiskey, US Cellular, GRF County Stadium (Brewers) Wrigley Jack Murphy Stadium (Padres) Dodger Stadium Big A original stadium (Angels) Big A (reconfigured for Rams) HHH Dome (Twins) Tiger Stadium Comerica (Tigers)

I want Sam as the everyday leadoff hitter even against LHP. I think Sam will bust his butt to become a better left fielder and also to hit LHP. His work ethic and drive to succeed is off the charts.

White Flag season/JR jokes…

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/50222334/alcs-tampa-bay-rays-clinch-world-series-spot Comprehensive Jeff Passan story on Rays’ success The Rays' stability, in part, has come from their ability to complement their longtime employees with new faces to replace those who left the Tampa Bay machine and eventually took over other baseball operations departments: Andrew Friedman (Dodgers), Chaim Bloom (Boston and St. Louis), Peter Bendix (Miami), James Click (Houston), Taylor Smith (A's) and Matt Arnold, who runs the Brewers. The Rays' fingerprints are everywhere in baseball. "Since I was drafted at 17, every coach that I've been with, the players they drafted, you could tell that everybody was just a straight-up A-plus human being," Walls said. "And if they weren't, they got out. You've got to be a good person to be in this organization. You gotta care about winning. Winning has to be your only priority. And if it's not, they sniff you out real quick and you're probably not here long.”

Ballparks I’ve been to, first year visiting and number of times. Comiskey 1955, 200+ games including 1959 World Series game 2, my all time favorite, very close to the action. Worked at Comiskey and Wrigley as a vendor in 1962. Wrigley Field 1955, 30 games, great for Bears games Yankee Stadium 1965, once, the original house that Ruth built Metropolitan Stadium 1966, once, giant erector set, wasn’t impressed Shea Stadium 1967, once, big and dual purpose with baseball suffering Connie Mack Stadium 1967, once, a real dump Anaheim Stadium 1975, at that time it was pretty bland, 3 more times after the remake, much better. Fenway Park 1978, once, cramped and old with some seats with bad sightlines Milwaukee County Stadium 1978, 3 times, pretty nice ballpark Comiskey Park ll 1991, 10 times, pretty bad when it opened but now very good. Pro Player Park 1997, 3 times including 2 World Series games, made for football Tropicana Field 2000, 10 times, not all that bad, pretty dark, the rings are the problem, when it’s full, it’s loud. Dodger Stadium 2009, once, great setting but as a ballpark no better than the Rate, still looked like new as it was built in 1962.

What are you talking about? If Sam catches that fly ball with 2 outs in the 9th, Sox finish ahead of Cleveland.

In other words Ishbia is needed now sooner rather than later.

This post needs more love.

Well played.

He’s just an analyst for the MLB Network as far as I know.

Rich Hahn is still in baseball!?!????

Should have gotten both Peralta and Castillo, if they had convinced themselves that Luis was a must have. Always get more than you think you need when it comes to pitching. Hopefully lesson is learned because it’s a painful lesson. We should be going to the WS indeed.

I think one thing to watch out for if they end up implementing a salary floor in the CBA is how it could affect a team like the Guardians, who never spend money. If they're now forced to spend $170 million, their front office might actually make smart signings to bolster their roster even more. While I think a floor will make the Sox also spend more, we are far dumber with our money when we spend it.

Good luck cutting payroll and simultaneously competing with guys like Carlos Correa still rostered. And that farm system.

Guess it takes a repeat season...first. Like Caminero.
