Since they had the LaRussa Lounge after the DUI, I fully expect the Clevinger Day Care Center to be next

If you want to see what A grand vision looks like What a professional presentation looks like look to our division rivals:

This is easy, play Yoan at 2nd. Without the shift, his strong arm on plays up the middle will be beneficial.

I've been a fan since 1952 and I'm very close especially after the 2022 season to not giving a **** anymore. At 77 years old not too many things excite me anymore but I might be pretty excited with new ownership, 41 years of JR and company are enough.

Hahn should get Marcel Ozuna. He has wife beating and a DUI to his credit.

Noah Schultz, Cristian Mena and Bryan Ramos could be more likely than that pick too. If some of the things I’ve heard from instructs on Schultz are accurate, I’d imagine he’ll crack a list in the next 6-12 months

If there's any team that can trade alot of assets and still be good for the future, it's the Texans. They have 2 1st round picks this year and 2 next year. If they wanted, they could trade both picks, move up a spot, trade next year's 1st and still have a 1st round pick. Obviously that might be too rich and likely they won't do that, but it's fun to dream.

Since this team is a dumpster fire, they probably surprise us all and win 95 games.

Hawk and Wimpy were my childhood. There's was nothing better than them reminiscing about the box of golf balls they owe each other.

Because as usual, one troll had to push the subject to one he knows isn't really germane and to innocent pretend to watch the chaos he causes (not you).

God bless you Lovie Smith

#8 in the nation in 2021. In-state neighbor St. Louis was #1. Chicago was not in the top 25.

Sure but likewise if you take the people in KC that haven't been murdered out of the equation, then the murder rate there is 100%. Pretty scary.

Kansas City has a higher per capita murder rate than Chicago.

Lift the entire stadium up and rotate it so there's a view of downtown from behind home plate.

That's in the back of my mind, too, and that thought is what's keeping from making a strong statement about it. I can ABSOLUTELY see this clown show conclude that the "official league recommendation" of standing pat until it blows over is going to be fine for the general public.

I would like this team to lose 110 games, hopefully fire everyone, for them to lose fan interest and civic support, and for the fans and others to continue to pressure Jerry to sell. My fondest wish is an ownership change to someone who actually loves this franchise and wants it to succeed.

Since this team is a dumpster fire, trade Cease while his value is high. That outta help get this thread going.

Bring Nancy back. Resurrect Andy the Clown. Replace Daryl Boston with a double jointed clown. Hire a UFO marching band to play before the game. Get a Tiny Tim impersonator as band leader. Build a roof over the right and left field stands and add a roof shot counter. Evict the White Sox and move the Chicago Dogs in

Great to have both Jason and Steve back in the booth!! Good news!!

A Tale of Two Cities: Cleveland Hosting an affordable Guardfest with most of the team plus their manager and a few coaches and alumni to celebrate last year’s AL Central Division Title and the upcoming 2023 Season. Make substantial changes to enhance their already superior stadium, and create a high quality video to sell it to current and prospective fans. Sign their MVP fan favorite player to a $124M contract extension, plus add quality starters at catcher and first base. Are projected to win another AL Central Division title, which if successful, would be their fifth in the Rick Hahn era. Chicago Cancelled any plans for Soxfest last year, with management cowering in fear, too embarrassed and unwilling to face fan questions after another complete and utter failure by Rick Hahn and the team in 2022, and knowing they planned to have yet another disastrous offseason this Winter. The Sox are literally recycling and plopping Rick, Ken and Ron Schueler’s Kiddie Seats and Tables from the past 30 Winter meetings out of storage, and adding two bars and many seats either obstructed or facing away from the field. Sold the weak plan with an even weaker rendition. Tell their MVP fan favorite player to hit the bricks Pal. Sign a contact hitter with five 2022 HRs as the new all time largest Sox contract, and an injured, sucks when it matters asshole undergoing an MLB investigation into domestic violence and child abuse. This on the heals of their ongoing lawsuit filed by Brian Ball, and recent criminal proceedings against managers Tony La Russa and Omar Vizquel. Are projected to waive yet another AL Central second or third place carrot in fan’s faces, grateful Detroit and Kansas City exist to likely suck even more.

They aren’t allowed to while the investigation is going. Fegan just wrote about it this week. They very likely aren’t releasing him and handing over the $12 million even if it were allowed though.

January 28, 1901 - The American League moved from minor-league status to the majors, admitting the Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia A’s and Boston Americans to join the existing Washington Nationals, Cleveland Blues, Detroit Tigers, Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago White Sox. Three clubs (Indianapolis, Buffalo and Minneapolis) were cut from the A.L. The league played a 140-game schedule in 1901 and commenced a raid on National League talent. The White Sox had won the final Western League pennant, in 1900, and would finish first in the American League in 1901, with a record of 83-53-1. Both pennants ended the White Sox seasons, as there was no World Series in those years.

Because this team is a dumpster fire, just enjoy the game, embrace the career role players, and enjoy the experience. Nothing beats a summer's evening at the ball park.

Having the number 1 pick doesn't come along very often and if their evaluations conclude with one of these QB's being better than Fields they would be foolish to pass up the very rare opportunity to upgrade the most important position in football.

We don’t. It’s a pretty ridiculous proposition. Bears fans get their first legit QB prospect in decades and they want to ditch him and try again.

Since this team is a dumpster fire, trade Tim Anderson and Lucas Giolito OR Since this team is a dumpster fire already, go and sign Trevor Bauer

Since this team is a dumpster fire…

Since this team is a dumpster fire… they will probably be in first place until September before somehow throwing it away.

It’s accessible, so that’s nice.

TA is under club control through 2024, he's owed 12.5 mil in 2023 and Sox have a 14 million option on him for 2024. 14 mil is a good deal for the Sox, maybe Colson can move to 2B for a year.

Mlb pipelines list process is to wait and see what the other lists are doing, move a few one or two spots, publish.

I'd imagine that's exactly right. I doubt he's going to spend a full year at AA in 2023 and a full year at AAA in 2024 and then not get called up. Far more likely IMO is that he's the opening day shortstop in 2024.

Another great Sox pitcher of the 1960's, only Tommy John is left now. Here are some of his highlights: May 14, 1963 - Sox pitcher Ray Herbert fired his fourth consecutive shutout beating the Tigers 3-0 at Comiskey Park. Herbert allowed six hits and struck out seven. His shutout streak began on May 1 when he blanked the Orioles. That was followed by shutouts over the Senators and the Yankees. In the shutout stretch he only allowed 15 hits in 36 innings with 22 strike outs. The previous season Ray won 20 games and was the winning pitcher for the American League in the second All-Star Game played that year. It took place at Wrigley Field. May 19, 1963 - Sox starter Ray Herbert’s consecutive scoreless inning streak ended controversially in (where else?) Baltimore. Herbert, a 20-game winner in 1962, had thrown 38 straight scoreless innings when he faced the Orioles Johnny Orsino in the third inning. Orsino then hit what appeared to be a home run to left field...or did he? Both manager Al Lopez and outfielder Dave Nicholson argued that the ball Orsino hit passed between the top of the wall and an iron railing mounted on top of it with support posts to help keep fans from falling over on to the field of play. By going through the gap, it should have been ruled a ground rule double. They lost the argument; Herbert lost his scoreless streak but the Sox won the game 4-3 in 10 innings to get a double header split. June 10, 1961 - With owner Bill Veeck in ill health, his group sold the White Sox to Chicagoan Art Allyn. Veeck only owned the club for two and a half years the first time around. Allyn paid $2,500,000 for the team. On the same day of the sale, the Sox made an eight-player deal that netted the team pitchers Ray Herbert, Don Larsen and infielder Andy Caray from Kansas City. One week later the Sox began a 12-game winning streak that saved the season. They beat up Minnesota, Cleveland, Washington and Detroit during it. They’d rebound from last place in May to finish fourth at 86-76-1. Herbert would then go on to win 20 games in 1962. July 30, 1962 - Sox starting pitcher Ray Herbert, who would eventually win 20 games on the season, was named as a last-minute replacement for the All-Star Game. Herbert then got the win, pitching three innings, as the A.L. beat the N.L. 9-4 in Wrigley Field. He was joined on the team by Luis Aparicio (SS) and Jim Landis (OF). In his three innings of work, he allowed only three singles, two of the infield variety.

OK, but the discussion was a factual comparison of murder rates as between Kansas City (higher) and Chicago (lower.) It was not political. In fact, I took pains *not* to veer into any political discussion about why one city gets more attention for its crime than the other. These discussions go well over the political line with some frequency. This one didn't even get within 100 yards. I only mention it because I think over-policing that line poses actual danger to the discussions around here.

How is that related to Mike Clevinger spitting tobacco juice on an infant?

Play all Sunday games from the old Comiskey home plate.

Free MLB.TV trial subscription while in the stadium, so you can at least watch one meaningful game while you're there. "Speed Catch" machine where, instead of clocking your fastest pitch, you get to try to catch a 99-mph fastball.

Think how much money they could make for charities if the had a JR, KW and RH dunk tank. All sitting together. I'd pay a lot per toss, and show up at a 35 degree game vs the Tigers in April if I had a shot of getting them wet.

1. Dig a moat in front of the Cuban Comet stand. You have to board a raft and float across the moat to get your sandwich. 2. Move the shower from the concourse to outside Gate D for the locals. 3. Somehow manage to get even older beer in the KraftKave. 9 month old IPAs are good but are still slightly tolerable. Not sure it is possible but we can try. 4. Ron Kittle is stationed at a random bathroom and when someone tries to enter via the exit door to jump the line, Ron intercepts him and traps him in a 10 minute conversation with lots of touching. 5. M&M George has to get a jacket with the new non-binary M&Ms. 6. The ushers pretend to be frozen all game and only come to life so they can vibe during Tim Anderson walk-up songs like those street performers that only move after you tip them (this only applies to those few ushers that already don't practice this). 7. Elon Musk boring tunnel under the tracks so we don't have to get scared by firecrackers under the overpass while walking to Lot G. 8. White sitting in Section 506 you have to wear VR Goggles which just broadcast a first person view from a live Darryl Boston cam. 9. Lot F is renamed Lot TLR and it allows camping and/or just sleeping it off in your car. 10. Wider seats to accommodate them XXXL thick boys and girls. 11. Ticket taker scanners say "Yes!" in hawk voice instead of just beeping while checking tickets. 12. The gates open early for batting practice. 13. Concession Stand point of sale systems offer if you want to tip 15%, 20% or a friendly critique of their 4 inch neon finger nails that they dug into your Beggars. 14, Scout Section is renamed Snout Section where all patrons must wear an elephant trunk mask. 15. On Family Sundays the kids race Jason Benetti around the bases. 16. Anytime there is boo'ing, a giant Steve Stone fathead pops out of the seat in front of you BLOCKING your view of the game because you are a bad fan. 17. Elvis Night and Pride Night moved to the same date and renamed "Facebook Comments Night". 18. Leury Legend Statue.

Giant bags of Popcorn for everyone.....just don't tell Jason....he'll snitch.....

Dunk tank on centerfield concourse featuring Jerry Reinsdorf. All proceeds go to the Sign All of the Relievers fund.

For every home game, randomly select two fans. One fan takes an at-bat at a crucial moment, and one fan must pitch an inning late in the game. Select Saturday night games become "Sultry Saturdays". Adults only, clothing optional. The Fan Deck in the outfield becomes a fighting ring on select nights. Fans can sign up to fight past Sox stars like AJ, Konerko, Thome. Winning fans get free tickets. Losing fans get...free tickets.

To expand on this, add a Hawk Harrelson soundboard to the goose. Home run call? The goose is belching fire and yelling "PUT IT ON THE BOARD!" "YOU'VE GOTTA BE BLEEPING ME" after a bad review. "A Kansas City special" whenever Pedro Grifol appears on the field, the Royals do anything, or a ball sneaks through, even if it they're not facing the Royals. Another feature: The Kaskade Hotbox A room filled with edibles and joints. Playing non-stop Kaskade to remind us of the brief shining moment in White Sox history. Leury Garcia is found here.

i'm sorry I can't joke about something this serious. Bring back the goose.

There was never a doubt. Glad to see this done. tho. Has Jason really been doing this 8 years? No way that's right. edit: started in 2016. Man, time flies.

Figured it out... Its this Woods guy... https://omny.fm/shows/ben-woods-on-demand I listened to a couple minutes and his take was "We had fun with him as a guest and my son loves him but this makes me sick"

That looks terrible. No view unless you're the first table.. how dumb

That first photo looks like a 40 year old hooker walking with a 70 year old Mike North.

If Jerry cared about winning they would have lost 30 million.
