2 games against the Rockies I know but Montgomery does look the part so far.

Nothing has come easy for Montgomery since turning pro. Sometimes that turns out to be a Godsend.

Coors field special tonight. Ball is jumping.

Please Baseball Gods let Montgomery and Baldwin hit consistently up here because they both otherwise look like they could be players.

Here I am gonna try to watch 2 complete Sox games in a row.

First Sox game I have watched start to finish in a long time. I really hope Montgomery can hit consistently because a combo of him and Meidroth could be special. I love Quero and Teel. They say Championship teams are strong up the middle and they have a nice start. Need to find a CF with some pop in his bat. Need to find a couple more position players who can hit with power. Sounds like they have a few really good arms down in the minors that can be added to the few already up here. Hopefully Ishbia will start infusing money in to the organization sooner than later and they can grab a couple FA's and start getting competitive in a weak Central Division. All in all I feel a little more positive regarding the Sox future than I did going in to the season.

You move Houser if you can get at least a couple top prospects, preferably OF prospects with power. I don't know if there are any OF prospects in the Sox system that are close to making the big leagues.

Making that play definitely will help his confidence and that is exactly what he needs.

Absolutely fitting he gets #3000 against this pathetic team. Now the topping on the cake is to blow the game as well.

Were there even 5000 in attendance today? JR has effectively destroyed this organization.

And I thought this team was an utter embarrassment last year. Sell the fing team Jerry. You have a buyer just do it already. The only chance this franchise has is a huge influx of cash and an owner willing to spend it like the Dodgers.

Has Sosa turned a corner? Would be great to actually have someone live up to expectation.

Ishbia is not a wait around and wait kind of guy. He has always wanted to own a baseball team. He had every intent on purchasing the Twins but JR approached him with a deal to purchase the Sox and he changed course and took it. He lives and works in Chicago. I predict he will be the new White Sox owner much sooner than later.

Yea I can't believe how big he is. You all think he stays at short?

I'm very familiar with the Ishbia's as I have been a supporter and follower of the Michigan State Basketball program for many years. As you know Justin's brother Matt played basketball at MSU and has been a huge financial supporter of MSU. I know Justin has always wanted to own a major league baseball team. He definately has the financial resources to do it. This would be hugely positive news if he was to become the majority owner. Unlike JR he would do whatever to field a championship team.

Maybe he took the job knowing that JR is planning on selling the team to a billionaire media mogul who will outspend every current owner to build a winning team.

On paper this seems like a good hire. But as we all know everything comes down to how much power in decision making JR is going to give him. At the very least he should know what a winning team and organization is supposed to look like. Also he is under 70 yrs old so that's a plus as well.

The other owners are not going to agree to the Sox being moved. Chicago is the 3rd largest market in the Country and will never be without an AL team.

What an absolute clown show this organization is from top to bottom.

I agree. The Sox have to start building a team. You have to start getting position players that are major league ready or very close to it. These 19 year olds are 3 or 4 years away and that's even if they amount to anything. If your going to trade off the few assets you have you have to be getting some really good pieces back. To me this just looks like JR dumping salary to increase the bottom line. The White Sox are not his passion that he is dedicated to making a winning ballclub. They are just an investment.

Getz was not qualified to be a GM. We all knew that. Now we get to see exactly why.

I'm way past being miserable when it comes to this team. Now I just don't care anymore. I know that nothing will change until JR sells the team. The entire organization needs a complete overhaul and that will only happen with new ownership.

No they do not. JR could care less what the teams record is. His only goal is to get the most return for him and his heirs when the team is finally sold. The teams worth increases no matter what their record is. He could care less what fans think.

Can't wait to hear Grifol make excuses for Robert not throwing.

Congrats JR. You will be leaving a crap load of money to your family but you will also have the legacy of being one of the worst owners in MLB history.
