CHSN to be available on antenna in Chicago
Agreed 100% on the own app. They should have had this three years ago, let alone now.

CHSN to be available on antenna in Chicago
I honestly wonder if any of you follow any other city or situation. The Dodgers, for example, couldn't be viewed by half the LA area for SIX years. Did you talk about how incompetent they are as business people? First, you imply it's somehow the CHSN fault that Comcast would force them onto a tier more costly than marquee. I'm so confused why people on this site are stanning for Comcast. CHSN has stated Comcast has not even reached out to them, and they refuse to offer them the tier marquee is in, for example, despite being flexible on $$'s. In this case, Comcast can get fuked and calling the Bulls a fringe franchise is one of the dumbest things I've ever read here. The Bulls are worth more than the Cubs, pal. Basketball is the fastest growing sport globally as well.

Jerry Reinsdorf open to selling the White Sox per Britt Ghiroli
If I get back to a computer I can provide you with an example.

Jerry Reinsdorf open to selling the White Sox per Britt Ghiroli
There are absolutely ways to sell 49% of joint shares without diluting equity and leverage some of those funds to build a stadium. In fact, some can cash out all together if they don't want to reinvest the equity in a loan or different class share type.

Their bid was "here's what we might offer," which was 60% of what it sold for.

Jerry Reinsdorf open to selling the White Sox per Britt Ghiroli
And a team in Nashville would rank near the bottom in team values. This isn't a complex equation. Take into account that expansion teams are cheaper to start/buy than buying a current franchise and moving it, AND the fact that MLB expansion is to grow the game not trade one larger market for a micro one. People that compare Oakland are either struggling with scale or don't know the math. Oakland had 450k people and the entire bay area has HALF the population of the Chicago area. The White Sox almost have the same market share as the Giants do WITHOUT the A's in the Bay Area. Las Vegas is larger than Oakland, and the Las Vegas metro is 65% the size of the Bay Area so Oakland is acquiring a higher market share with their move.

People that get rich enough to buy baseball teams don't make financial decisions that are being implied here. The sox are an original franchise, they're not the a's. Happy to place something with you if you think this is a possibility.

Shame we can't bet on these things, because I'd bet NBB any amount of money that someone else is not going to buy the Chicago White Sox and then move them. That scenario makes zero sense.

So a new owner is going to pay the Chicago market price to buy the team and then move it to a market significantly smaller hurting the value of the purchase. Brilliant logic all around.

Maybe, but he's not selling to Dave Stewart's group that much I'm sure of.

CHSN to be available on antenna in Chicago
Bought an antenna and canceled hulu. Saving $100/mth and getting the three teams I watch for free. Do they need to get a comcast deal? Yeah. Should they worry about other streaming? No. They should go direct to consumer with streaming, which is what I've been saying about baseball for a couple years. With streaming why force your way through a middle man?

Peavy discusses his Soxperience
Here's an old public article. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/herm-schneider-and-the-immense-value-of-health/ I know of Herms old shoulder program and his primary success was on the pitching side. It's funny for him to be ripped in that article given the universal praise he had received by many.

Peavy discusses his Soxperience
Who cares? My beef with Jason is he cried that this was his dream job but needed them to make concessions for him to stay. Which is fine if he says this is his career and he needs to treat it as such, but instead he acted like the Sox took his dream job away lol.

Jason thought his s%*# didn't stink just like the rest of those ego maniacs.
-
Peavy discusses his Soxperience
Herms documented success was on the pitching side and i don't doubt that tubby sob didn't give a s%*# about the position player side. Still, anyone arguing his success with pitchers is just delusional... probably all the modern guys who love injuries and innings limits.

Paulie, you've lost your mind in this thread.

I can't tell if you're joking, but most tvs have an antenna built in. Also, countless new channels and services have launched without full deals in place, this isn't unique to the Sox. The Sox just gave access to their games to almost anyone with a TV in the Chicago area and that makes them also bad?

Pitching has been solid, I guess, but the problem is that was already the one possible + in this org so it's not like he has made a significant improvement.

I haven't watched a single full inning in months. I've watched less than 4 games this year and it's September. This team is so bad that it's not even enjoyable to just watch baseball. They're a disgrace to the game. Anyone glass half fulling this is either paid, reliant on them for income, or not all there.

Jimmy, please I ask you to never change. One day all these baseball people you have supported and excused by placing all blame on ownership will die and by then people will have forgotten about your weird infatuation with believing the conmen that work for said owner you hate..... over and over. Chris Getz is not turning the White Sox around and he's done absolutely nothing to warrant any optimism.

Clevinger accused of Domestic Abuse again, while with Sox, by a different woman
It's amazing how someone as analytically inclined as you could still fall for the fallacy of my personal experience means this isn't a problem because I'm fine.

So, why can't you punch your kid in the face? Raise your kids how you want is a wild statement. We abide by plenty of other laws. If you read the studies, this creates a similar response in the brain as sexual assault which I doubt you'd justify as raising your kids how you want.
