Sox Claim P Mike Vasil
There's your problem with a light bulb over its head. Too many pitches. Even Katz has a chance at fixing this.

2025 WNBA Thread
Both games are boring. The WNBA is enjoying the curiosity bounce. Thanks for asking. I'm fine with women's golf and tennis. Basketball is another thing compared to the men's game. I won't pretend to like it.

Both sorta tweeners, aren't they? But Giddey can put on a show when he's going good.

Cubs sign Justin Turner
Pale Hose Talk looks a lot like Cubbie Central today.

Ishbia brothers own small piece of White Sox...
It ain't what you spend, it's how you spend. Say, does Jerry have a god-given ability to say the wrong thing at the wrong time in the wrong way or what? Has needed a media consultant for 40+ years. And a roll of duct tape for his mouth.

Jimmy's got a dark side. Think of his last season here where he and Dwyane Wade did their best to sink the team. I certainly don't want him back here regardless of the deal.

Eloy Jimenez signs minor league deal with Tampa Bay
Lose some weight, more scientific approach to nutrition and training, who knows? Slim chances are better than none.

Bill Melton Passes Away
Rich was Jerry G.'s assistant who later took over the hosting as Son of Svengoolie when Jerry left for the West Coast. Eventually Jerry let him use the Svengoolie moniker without the Son of in front of it. And I'm pretty sure they were both Sox fans. I hope Rich is still with us. Jerry has passed on. Both good guys.

Bill Melton Passes Away
You had to remind me of the Bat Day when my schoolmate buddy Jerry G. Bishop who achieved fame as horror movie host Svengoolie was outside the park passing out bats (the paper kind) on Bat Day. As soon as the cameras left, so did he IIRC.

24-25 NFL Thread
So much must watch viewing that I went to the library and taped the game. Erased without watching, of course. At least I'm smarter now than if I'd been at home glued to the TV. I'm tempted to buy you all a steak dinner at Gibson's if they win another game. But give them a few billion to erect a monstrosity on our lakefront and all will be well. Just like it was when they ruined Arlington Park for the few racing fans left. Build it there, you morons.

Mike Tauchman to White Sox
Is this the same board that had posts which compared him to Benintendi and said we got the same type guy for 5 times the price? He puts in an honest day's work.

Bill Melton Passes Away
Photograph the work of Chicago master photographer Victor Skrebneski who was famous for getting society women to take more of their clothes off than they wanted to before a photo shoot. This is in the same spirit. Some great stories in those obits about a great guy. Didn't need to be reminded about what a jerk Harry could be, even though we all know it. RIP buddy.

Good story but not totally unprecedented. They let Wanny announce his own firing. They Let Lovie announce that the offense needed fixing, then fired him.

Takes a real man's coach to call an effing time out. Gotta go back 40+ years to some of those end-of-game sequences under QB Bob Avellini for something like this one.

Congrats to those of you who passed the test of time and watched to the end. I was channel surfing for 40 year old game show reruns in the 3rd quarter.

😁He prolly didn't pick it out by himself, but nobody knows booze like Jerry. Catch him in a lounge at the right time and nobody goes thirsty. He himself could drink a whale under the table, they tell me. Got so many points on his frequent flyer card at Binny's that he didn't have to pay for it anyway. This is the Internet so it has to be true. I thought Joakim was more of a weed guy.

Hurricane Milton.
But if you're not near the water, it doesn't seem like Florida. A lot of it looks like nice areas near Western Avenue in Chicago. Guy I know has been down there 10 years, never had a problem, just got wiped out by Helene's surge. (living near the water) O well, by January I'll be cursing the weather and he'll be rebuilt and basking in the warmth.

Peavy discusses his Soxperience
As I've posted here, there and everywhere for years, it reinforced JR's belief that he's smarter than everyone else. I don't think he's as evil as a bunch of you, but he shouldn't be running a MLB team with that attitude and that skill set.

Peavy discusses his Soxperience
Peavy's stuff has the ring of truth to it. It does all come back to Jerry, but don't give the people under him a free pass for not keeping up with the changing nature of their jobs.

Tribune remember 1959 White Sox...
Yep, Lopez panicked. Whether it had anything to do with Billy's 14-15 record that year I do not know and don't want to. Dammit anyway.
