Not sure what that has to do with Pirates horrible offense that they will not add to this offseason but ok.

A Kwan ceiling would be amazing compared to what the Sox have run out at 2b since Ray Durham.

Fuller guy?

White Sox W-L records in the early 60s: 1960: 87-67 (equivalent to 91 wins in a 162-game schedule) 1961: 86-76 1962: 85-77 1963: 94-68 1964: 98-64 1965: 95-67 That doesn't look horribly run to me. If there were divisions back then, some of those teams almost certainly would have made the post-season. If we see a half-decade stretch like that any time soon, Sox fans will think we've died and gone to heaven.

THEN SOX FANS WILL WANT TO PLUG EM IN AT 1ST BASE

No matter what, the World Series will end in Canada.

Ah Westy...at it again I see, going off the deep end again. Considering the current state of the franchise no Sox fan of any age who knows anything about the history of the organization should be complaining about the time period from 1951-1967. That was truly a "Golden Age" for the team. But you do you 🤡

HAT TRICK BEDARD!

Pitt with the better overall stadium, SF with the better surrounding environment. Although it's hard to beat all the bridges in Pitt, especially the Clemente Bridge.

See 1968-1982 ('77 the exception)...1984-1989...1994-1999...2013-2019, 2022-2025. The culture wasn't one of losing until the last two decades. But now also identified with the very worst record, knocking off the 1962 expansion Mets. Somehow I have my doubts you're singlehandedly going to turn the tide back with your current crusade.

You are right, that ballpark is legit. I think the #1 park is up between Pittsburgh and Frisco. I mean basically the Pacific Ocean is hard to beat. I was half being melodramatic about the Pirates moving. As a Sox fan we've seen actual legit worries they'd leave Chicago. There is zero evidence or move for Bob Nothing to move the team, but with that guy who would turn over your sofa cushions looking for loose change if he ever visited you I don't put anything past him. He's among the world's worst owners in sports history. The Bidwells were pretty horrible in St. Louis for 100 years with their football team, but even they eventually figured it out on some level. I'd have to give it some thought as to the worst owners ever, there may be some worse than Nothing, but it's a very exclusive club.

Barco as well who also looks legit, Burrows looked good last year too and they could get a rebound from Harrington who went from great in 2024 to bluh in 2025. That said, the Sox have Smith. Schultz, McDougal and Taylor could end up back starting at some point. So it's not baren in Chicago as far as arms, but they have to get there.

If god willing and the creek don't rise in 30 years if I'm 70 and posting here I will DEF be reminding people I was alive for a period 60 years earlier. I'll be making every Sammy Sosa was once a White Sox post possible.

Caulfield you are pulling a Caulfield

Looking forward to seeing them build around that core with key additions like Gio Urshela and Randal Grichuk.

I actually thought they were better than that, now I remember we had a long losing streak at the end that put a kibosh on things including avoiding 100 losses.

So you think it would make sense to trade a guy like Robert when you're trading for a guy like Varsho?

No, I’d simply like you to show me a stat that shows Varsho has any value as a hitter. But if makes you feel better to cherry pick the 1 stat that overvalues defense and gives validity to your nonsensical argue…you do you man.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46753415/world-series-game-3-history-18-innings-los-angeles-dodgers-walkoff-freddie-freeman Games don't become classics without efforts like Will Klein's -- and he had an admirer who wanted to acknowledge that. Into the Dodgers' clubhouse strode Sandy Koufax, his eminence of Dodgers pitching, who, at 89 years old, looked no worse for the wear at 12:48 a.m. Koufax walked up to Klein, stuck out his hand, looked him in the eyes and said: "Nice going." This was that kind of game, the one that forges bonds between a Hall of Famer and a man with 22⅔ career major league innings who didn't make the Dodgers' roster in any of the previous three rounds of the postseason. The kind of game that prompted Klein to unlock his phone just to see how many messages he had, only for him to scroll ... and keep scrolling ... and keep scrolling to the point he just stopped. The kind of game that made Klein marvel to a friend in the clubhouse: "Seventy-two. Can you believe it?"

What a performance by Klein. 72 pitches for a reliever is insane.

Yamamoto is a dog. Love that guy.

Is that Marlins' man behind the plate now? Ohtani 9th ab 17 total bases 9 times on base in a row

great performance from Lauer. Kiké is preparing for the L.

Dave Roberts' reaction hilarious...as well as the bat drop at home

The cheap White Sox aren’t going to give up on Burke in the rotation. I would say he’s probably a lock if he stays healthy through ST. They will probably sign one veteran starter for around $5 million and sign multiple cheap options for next to nothing to compete with guys like Cannon and Gomez for the backend. The rotation is going to look like a rotation that bad teams have.

You don’t think saying that “they’re going to suck for 3 years” isn’t being honest?

As much as I like DJ it is impossible to expect honesty from a man in his position. He has been a broadcaster for the Sox for 17 years. He played for them. He travels with the team. His paychecks come from them. How could he possibly say any thing like " they suck and as long as management is who it is i don't see them ever getting very good". I expect him to be biased. He should be biased, but he can not speak truly honestly, he just can't. So take it for what it is. Another Sox fluff piece.

The Mets were 147-165 (89.1%) on SBs despite not having a particularly speedy roster, by far the highest success rate in the league (Cubs were second at 82.1%). Soto in particular credited Richardson for his career high 38 steals this year. Considering the Mets' deep pockets, one assumes the hangup isn't money, so...Getz should make a call?

That's a really long post to say "You were right", and honestly I skipped most of it, but I appreciate it.
