Put your sunglasses on Elvis.

The World Series of Poker, also out of Hahn’s capacity to win.

This thread is not even on page one when sorted by most replies. Need to get to 238 pages to claim the top spot in terms of responses. This thread is .378 on the way there, closing in soon on Rick Hahn's win percentage.

AJ is the only interesting ex-Sox I'd be interested in hearing during a broadcast, Carl Everett would be a good guest fill-in for a few games / weeks a year. I don't see AJ wanting to deal with a grind of a full season unless he was offered a managerial job, possibly a bench coach with a managerial job lineup up within a few years.

I can't see Theo or Jed talking such blatant bullshit like "People are accountable" or "just a few years ago we were named the best front office in baseball". Kenny is on record saying he is walking away once his contract is done, but don't see Hahn going anywhere until Jerry dies and only if someone outside of the Reinsdorf family has control. Paxson is still with the Bulls, likely Jerry and or Michael's spy at this stage.

Miss all the original or older ones. Top 3: #1 Comiskey Park (1910-1990); #2 Fenway Park (1912-Current), #3 Tigers Stadium (1912-1999) Bottom 3: #42 Metrodome; #41 Tampa; #40 Veterans Stadium. Top 3 New (1990 - 2023) Parks: #1 PNC; #2 Giants Stadium; #3 Seattle / Detroit (Tie) Missing Current Parks: Texas, Atlanta, Miami,

I've been to 42 MLB stadiums, and OG Yankee Stadium is the only one I paid for parking because I didn't think my car would be there after the game (took the El to the new one, liked the OG stadium much more just like Shea over the new one). Parked at KC as well, cause running late. Street parked at all Chicago stadiums, Tiger Stadium over the years, and everywhere else.

Touki sadly drops to second among White Sox starters since his acquisition. 6/21 - 7/19 Cease 22 1/3 IP, 10 ER (4.02 ERA) Toussaint 26 1/3 IP, 12 ER (4.10 ERA) Lynn 24 IP, 12 ER (4,50 ERA) Giolito 29 2/3 IP, 17 ER (5.16 ERA) Kopech 8 2/3 IP, 9 ER (9.34 ERA)

It's in Queens, next to where Shea sat (and the US Open grounds).

White Sox starting their charge again! No Maddux tonight.

Verlander on track for a Maddux.

I'm glad my Game Thread record won't be taking a hit after I was second fastest to create it. Perhaps tomorrow, or when they play the Cubs. I hope they sweep Minnesota, because Minnesota.

Are you his parole officer?

DJ questioning Tim's decision to not flip to Elvis to attempt the double play. Nice play by Colas in RF.

Strikeout Leaderboard Through the First Inning: Verlander 3,263 Toussaint 204

Will be facing Lance Lynn with a Friday start, a battle of the overpriced end of the line finger pointers.

The Sox have their best starter on the mound since he was acquired, and hopefully they can win a few games here for the fans still watching. Facing Verlander, so that may be an impediment to victory. He is 22-14 with a 3.72 ERA lifetime against the Chicago White Sox. New York is a -204 favorite, the White Sox a +185 Underdog and a -110 pick'em via the + 1 1/2 run line. Hal Linden as Dylan Cease Gregory Sierra as Reynaldo Lopez Abe Vigoda as Eloy Jimenez Maxwell Gail as Lance Lynn Ron Glass as Tim Anderson Jack Soo as Yasmani Grandal Steve Landesberg as Lucas Giolito Ron Carey as Andrew Vaughn

Not necessarily impressed by Pedro, but too early to tell at this stage with a few months and a few good players at his disposal. The one area of improvement is actually trying to win ballgames with late inning substitutions you rarely saw under Tony. Also, if the increased focus and motivation continues, especially after the expected trade selloff, than that is a hell of a lot more than Tony ever mustered as the team quit on him after the Yermin incidents, with the Cornfield game while Tony was away attending a funeral in Florida the lone exception. Would say Jerry Manual would be the modern day equivalent at this stage.
