White Sox sign Martin Maldonado 1 year/4 million, vesting option for 2025
Reinsdorf already did that Mambo in 2005 resulting in no future championships for EITHER of his sports organizations.

Jerry visits Nashville mayor
Well I guess he'll sell his cash cow Bulls because there's no way he could still operate a sports franchise here after sending a charter member of MLB away. He'd be raked over the coals nightly.

Sox Sign Erick Fedde - 2 years, $15 million
Another Hoping-to-Catch-Lightning-in a-Bottle-Signing by CWS

White Sox Finalists for Fedde
It's been a long 42 years.

The Winter Meetings thread
It's just flat out incompetence from jump.

DeJong to Sox
Wish the owner could be DFA

Benetti to Tigers
Soxfest is in cold storage until new ownership. And that one will be a doozy !!

Benetti to Tigers
I wish Stone was leaving. Jason grew on me. He's an excellent broadcaster. Reinsdorf probably wanted him to cut back on his national back commitments. This helllish ownership needs to end.

41% decrease in viewership
Reinsdorf would have long left the sports scene had he taken his tired ass to Florida. He got that sweetheart deal from the State with the expectation he could concentrate his resources on building a powerhouse team in a division where CWS was (and still is) the sole major market team. Instead he bamboozled us with his 40 + years of perpetual rebuilds. Reinsdorf did a desperation Mambo and got a one-hit wonder out of it. He got into the NBA HOF because of MJ - a guy he inherited and probably would not have drafted. No such call will ever come from Cooperstown.

What's Left For Sox Fans?
Those types of decision-makers want de facto control and huge budgets. They won't get either from Dorf.
-
JR Speaks (gasp!)...
Imagine if this clown hated baseball ? Dorf can't go away soon enough. He's an abject failure saved only by the fact he inherited one the greatest NBA players in history.

Update: 3 (2) fans injured by bullet in Guaranteed Rate field (split from game thread, police investigation underway)
Oh for the love of the Divine, Give It Up Dorf !!

KW/Hahn - They Gone
That's It and That's All. The franchise needs the face of a winner.

KW/Hahn - They Gone
If that's true that eliminates an outsider getting the job. He should be the first to go !! This is gonna be some half-ass response. Sell Jerry Sell. Fire yourself !!

Fire Pedro Grifol
Pretty much a given now

KW/Hahn - They Gone
Best news of the season. Theo is my first choice. Next would be who ever the decision maker is in Tampa Bay.

Reinsdorf considers moving White Sox out of Guaranteed Rate Field or selling team
I believe some affluent group with Chi-town connections will come in an offer Dorf a premium for CWS. MJ, Oprah, Obama (oh the $$$ connections he's got).

Reinsdorf considers moving White Sox out of Guaranteed Rate Field or selling team
Dorf is building up the area around his West Side Sistine Chapel the same way Ricketts is doing with his in Wrigleyville. Dorf will the sell the South Side tax shelter but his family will be forever tied to the easy money on the West Side.

8/16 Game Thread: White Sox @ Cubs 7:05CT
The Cubs are just non-existent to me. I felt nothing when they won the WS.

Morrissey on JR...
A one year revival of Damn Yankees.

Morrissey on JR...
The same number of NBA Championships he's won since MJ left. As much as I revere MJ as an athlete, he is principally responsible for Dorf remaining an irritating part of the Chicago sports scene. The Bulls not the Sox made Dorf a paper billionaire. Notice he's taking a clue from Ricketts and buying up property around the West Side's Sistine Chapel. Dorf's creating the kind of entertainment complex he could have had in the South Loop with a slick, modern retro style urban ballpark. CWS is just a tax shelter for Dorf and rich pals. MLB needs to intervene but they won't.

f*** This Organization
What need do we have of further witness ? CWS will be a S-Show as long as the Dorf Cabal are in the owner suite using the organization as a defacto tax haven.

Burger To Marlins
And I got laughed off the site when I said the second week of the season that's where we were headed. Another pitching prospect ? Aren't Soxfans tired of the SOS. TJS after he strikes out 12 batters in an exhibition game next year.
