White Sox share plans for new 500-level bars
South Side Hit Men replied to Bad Hombre's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I'd like to see the improvements in Cleveland before adjusting my rankings, but would say the remodeled Sox stadium is pretty close to Cleveland's, not a large gap between the two. The OG new Sox park was Bottom 10 embarrassing trash, but the Sox did a good job with the redesign of the UD, seats and other aspects of the remodeled park. Unfortunately could not fix the obvious flaw of not having the park face northeast instead of southeast. My personal rankings, includes bias in favor of my personal nostalgia and preference of older/original stadiums. Chicago White Sox - Comiskey Park (1910-1990) - Truly the Baseball Palace of the World. There's no place like Home! Detroit Tigers - Tigers Stadium (1912-1999) - Absolute treat to attend games at this bandbox. Seats right on top of action. Should have retained. Boston Red Sox - Fenway Park (1912-current) - Really great place to watch a game, seating near the field. Hate the team and Fever Pitch type fans. Chicago Cubs - Wrigley Field (1916-current) - Despite one's feelings toward the Cubs, glad it's still around though I am not a fan of new bleachers or video. Pittsburgh Pirates - Pirates Park (2001-current) - They got everything right with this one, head and shoulders best new stadium. Los Angeles Dodgers - Dodgers Stadium (1962-current) - Classic stadium, every fan should visit at least once. Miss Vin Scully's call. San Francisco Giants - Giants Park (2000-current) - Really nice looking stadium, Top Five New Stadium. Definitely worth a trip. Baltimore Orioles - Camden Yards (1992-current) - Orioles smart to scrap planned HOK Comiskey II plans for this "classic" new ballpark. Colorado Rockies - Coors Field (1995-current) - Nice park to visit, lots of nearby breweries and things to do. Saint Louis Cardinals - Busch Stadium III (2006-current) - Much improved upgrade over the Donut. Great views, solid team. New York Yankees - Yankee Stadium II (1976-2008) - A bit old cramped and decrepit, but great views, loved visiting Monument Park. Cleveland Guardians - Jacobs Field (1994-current) - Nice park, view of game, downtown skyline. Would like to check out their major upgrades. Chicago White Sox - Comiskey Park II (1991-current) - Much improved from 1991 version, still didn't have to happen or should have been much better. Milwaukee Brewers - Milwaukee County Stadium (1970-2000) - Loved Brewers and Packer games here, really miss. F MillerDome. Higher than objective. San Diego Padres - Padres Park (2004-current) - Some quirky features, many seats far away. Smile, You're in San Diego! Seattle Mariners - Mariners Park (1999-current) - Roof was opened, by far the nicest stadium w/ roof, understandable with near daily rain. Worth a trip. Minnesota Twins - Twins Field (2010-current) - Very nice stadium, cold weather and the fucking Twins suck, however. F that sponsor. New York Mets - Mets Field (2009-current) - Seemed like more Dodgers s%*# pimped then Mets. F the Giants too, both were/are traitors to New York City. Detroit Tigers - Tigers Park (2000-current) - Liked OG park dimensions, and they fucked that up, Hate Illich, Little Caesars. Saw Sox Clinch here in 2005. Atlanta Baseball Team - Turner Field (1997-2019) - Was decent, not very memorable. Vile team and fanbase. Kansas City Royals - Royals Stadium (1969-current) - Only non donut hole built in the period. OK, looks better now than it did pre renovations. New York Yankees - Yankee Stadium III (2009-current) - Nice in some aspects, but sterile in others. F the Yankees, big missed opportunity. Texas Rangers - The Ballpark in Arlington (1994-2019) - Was OK, had some neat quirks to it. Far better than absolute trash new park looks like on TV. Philadelphia Phillies - Phillies Park (2004-current) - Cookie Cutter meh new park. Washington Nationals - Nationals Park (2008-current) - Cookie Cutter meh new park. Cincinnati Reds - Reds Ball Park (2003-current) - Cookie Cutter meh new park. Pittsburgh Pirates - Three Rivers Stadium (1970-2000) - Steelers (fan while I watched the NFL) dual purpose. Pittsburgh is a great city. New York Mets - Shea Stadium (1964-2008) - Donut hole, Home Run Apple / Hat and my Met fandom gives preference over other Donuts. Washington Nationals - RFK Stadium (2005-2007) - Old and decrepit, though historical. Saint Louis Cardinals - Busch Stadium II (1966-2005) - Remolded version - frosting on a donut. Los Angeles Angels - Anaheim Stadium (1966-current) - Donut, even with the remodel, looks and feels sterile. Fits with area fakeness. Cincinnati Reds - Riverfront Stadium (1970-2002) - Donut - Went to Final Game. Houston Astros - Astros Park (2000-current) - Saw when roof was open, but still largely a dome, but then again so was the shitty Astrodome. Montreal Expos - Stade Olympic (1977-2004) - Stadium a dump, but I miss and love my beloved Montreal Expos. Quebecois! Toronto Blue Jays - Skydome (1989-current) - Dome was open, but pretty sterile place to watch a game, astro turf sucks. Oakland Athletics - Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum (1968-current) - Shithole donut, no roof the lone redeeming quality. Milwaukee Brewers - Miller Park (2001-current) - Dome, dark and dreary, speakers way too loud. Worse stadium than what they had, not a good visit. Arizona Diamondbacks - Diamondbacks Field (1998-current) - Dome, dark and dreary. Hard Pass. Philadelphia Phillies - Veterans Stadium (1971-2003) - Literally saw rats running around, fitting for the city and stadium. Trash, trash, trash. Miami Marlins - Joe Robbie Stadium (1993-2011) - Shitshow configuration for baseball. Marlins home games played at Comiskey (hurricane) much better. Tampa Bay Rays - Tampa Bay Field (1998-current) - Jerry Reinsdorf deserved to own a team in this dump. Absolute trash. Abomination to baseball. Minnesota Twins - Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome (1982-2009) - Zero redeeming qualities. Abomination to mankind. MLB Stadiums I have not attended since having the ability to do so independently at age 18: Atlanta Baseball Team - Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium (1965-1996) Atlanta Baseball Team - Atlanta Park (2017-current) Baltimore Orioles - Memorial Stadium (1954-1991) Cleveland Guardians - Cleveland Stadium (1932-1933, 1937-1993) Houston Astros - Astrodome (1965-1999) Montreal Expos - Estadio Hiram Bithorn (2003-2004) Miami Marlins - Marlins Park (2012-current) San Diego Padres - Jack Murphy Stadium (1969-2003) San Francisco Giants - Candlestick Park (1960-1999) Seattle Mariners - Kingdome (1977-1999) Texas Rangers - Arlington Stadium (1972-1993) Texas Rangers - Rangers Field (2020-current) Toronto Blue Jays - Exhibition Stadium (1977-1989) Italic Stadium Names - Corporate sponsor omitted if not named for an individual human being. -
White Sox share plans for new 500-level bars
South Side Hit Men replied to Bad Hombre's topic in Pale Hose Talk
A Tale of Two Cities: Cleveland Hosting an affordable Guardfest with most of the team plus their manager and a few coaches and alumni to celebrate last year’s AL Central Division Title and the upcoming 2023 Season. Make substantial changes to enhance their already superior stadium, and create a high quality video to sell it to current and prospective fans. Sign their MVP fan favorite player to a $124M contract extension, plus add quality starters at catcher and first base. Are projected to win another AL Central Division title, which if successful, would be their fifth in the Rick Hahn era. Chicago Cancelled any plans for Soxfest last year, with management cowering in fear, too embarrassed and unwilling to face fan questions after another complete and utter failure by Rick Hahn and the team in 2022, and knowing they planned to have yet another disastrous offseason this Winter. The Sox are literally recycling and plopping Rick, Ken and Ron Schueler’s Kiddie Seats and Tables from the past 30 Winter meetings out of storage, and adding two bars and many seats either obstructed or facing away from the field. Sold the weak plan with an even weaker rendition. Tell their MVP fan favorite player to hit the bricks Pal. Sign a contact hitter with five 2022 HRs as the new all time largest Sox contract, and an injured, sucks when it matters asshole undergoing an MLB investigation into domestic violence and child abuse. This on the heals of their ongoing lawsuit filed by Brian Ball, and recent criminal proceedings against managers Tony La Russa and Omar Vizquel. Are projected to waive yet another AL Central second or third place carrot in fan’s faces, grateful Detroit and Kansas City exist to likely suck even more. -

That first photo looks like a 40 year old hooker walking with a 70 year old Mike North. -
I had Beltran and Jones with borderline cases, but like to limit future inductees to those above the average current hall of famer at that position. For 3B, Rolen is 10th all time in JAWS (56.9) and above the average HOF 3B in all three metrics (bWAR / bWAR7 and JAWS). 3B and C have also been the two positions underrepresented. For CF, Beltran is 9th (57.3 with 70.1 bWAR and 44.4 WAR7) and Jones 11th (54.6, 62.7 and 46.4), whereas the average CF HOF is 58.1 JAWS. 71.6 bWAR, 44.7 bWAR7. Wouldn't be pissed if they ultimately got in after the two dozen or so better cases, and there are definitely well over 50 current HOF players they are better than. That said, if you keep going the slippery slope route, the BBHOF would have at least 100 more inductees and a dozen additions each subsequent year. If Baines is the standard, make that several hundred additional inductees and a class of 40 new inductees each year.

In what should have been a gracious and celebratory moment, Jerry used his brief time on the air in the 1983 AL West Championship dugout to state the following: Even Hawk Harrelson was stunned into silence with a look of WTF?! Jerry has only increased his animosity, hatred and pettiness over the decades as he has gotten older, more stubborn, spiteful, greedy and antagonistic toward the ever dwindling numbers of remaining fans he hasn’t yet driven away. There will be a clean slate and 180 degree change in fan attitude once this Mr. Potter-like creature and his current Smithers are replaced by competent human beings worthy of empathy and support.

White Sox Interested in Naperville Legend Nicky Lopez
South Side Hit Men replied to Sleepy Harold's topic in Pale Hose Talk
So the Sox acquire two starters with a combined 5 HRs over 897 Plate Appearances in 2022 (Benintendi (461) Lopez (436)) and this is progress? They need to hire James Click as President of Baseball Operations, let him evaluate and salvage what he can for the handful of veterans with trade value, and target 2025 as a legitimate contention window, especially after Liam’s diagnosis and the Clevinger debacle. Robert, Cease, Montgomery, Kopech, Vaughn and Colas plus several quality acquisitions and draft picks would provide a young talented core capable of contending beyond the AL Central. -
Mike Clevinger under investigation for domestic violence
South Side Hit Men replied to RibbieRubarb's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Speaking of domestic violence, child abuse and employment vetting, Dan Bernstein and Laurence Holmes stated that they were told offline that Vizquel “would never be named manager of the White Sox” (DB) and “you do not want to be associated with Omar Vizquel” (LH). This is presumably before he was let go by the team, and the domestic violence investigation followed by the child abuse lawsuit were made public. They said if they if they have better sources than the team OR that if the team also knew about Vizquel and did not care, your organization is trash. Step aside Ribbie and Rhubarb. -
In times like these, this thread needs to either be pinned or bumped to page one daily. That is all.

Mike Clevinger under investigation for domestic violence
South Side Hit Men replied to RibbieRubarb's topic in Pale Hose Talk
But they are smart enough to dump them for something before it's too late. It's teams like the Padres, Dodgers and White Sox who are eager to acquire "the talent", regardless of known history. Don't forget Cleveland's coaching staff (not that the Sox can cast the first stone). This. Clevenger was a bad signing before this came out. Now he is a repulsive bad signing. I couldn't find anything in this tweet thread, but this tweet states Clevinger kicked out what I believe is a previous mother of two of his children born in 2016 and 2017, based on the NY Post article. https://twitter.com/EmSheDoesIt/status/1617983358293921793?s=20 https://nypost.com/2023/01/24/mike-clevinger-accused-of-domestic-violence-child-abuse/ The only scenario I could see is if Brian Ball refuses to accept a settlement on his discrimination suit and either bad enough evidence is disclosed in the discovery phase and or the Chicago White Sox and Rick Hahn, who is being personally sued, lose this case. Jerry would likely give zero fucks, because that is how he rolls, but MLB would step in off line and tell him Rick Hahn needs to go. Could still see Jerry digging in, because that is his nature / proclivity. PS - Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18 KJV -
Chicago fans are the best.

AJ Pollock to Seattle, 1 yr, $7 Million
South Side Hit Men replied to Heads22's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Plus there is zero state income tax in the state of Washington, so cocktail napkin he saves $7M * .0495% = $346,000. Not sure if he has to pay Illinois tax on the $5M buyout (I assume he does). I realize select US cities also tax visiting athletes, but it should be similar playing for Seattle or Chicago. -
Yes. Not to disparage Bill, but he was a starter for one season (308 MLB games over 9 seasons) whereas Karkovice was a solid defensive catcher, and a full time starter for 5 straight seasons (1992-1996), after splitting the job for three years once he turned 25 (1989-1991). Karkovice: 939 G, 13.7 fWAR Nahorodny: 308 G, 1.0 fWAR

Jerry’s direct response: Godspeed on a full recovery Liam!

Two more Cohen types I hope buy clubs in 2023. Put a wooden stake through Jerry Reinsdorf's vampire heart.

The US Population increased about 60% (346M vs. just over 200M) over this period. MLB attendance fell throughout the 2010s, before the owners latest two lockouts bludgeoned it (down 18% since 2008). The MLB used get even non sports fans to watch / care about the World Series. Now 12M watch, about 3 out of 100 Americans. Now, even large numbers of MLB fans pass on watching the World Series or playoffs. The Super Bowl grew their ratings over this period, NBA and both College Sports have owned The MLB and the NBA surpassed the sport since Jerry installed Bud Selig to Kill The MLBPA and shake down pathetic local governments. Americans nearly doubled (20M vs. 11.8M) watching group stage USA Soccer than the 2022 World Series held a month earlier. The MLB gets crushed by fucking Soccer. Despite being televised during a weekday morning / early afternoon. Try telling that to America in the 1980s, people would laugh in your face. You can thank the greed, ignorance and short sightedness of baseball owners, who run the sport like a dying tobacco company, not a growing entertainment company, and treat their core fans like they are s%*# on the bottom of their shoe. Sorry, not sorry.

Sadly, this is the trend at the national level since Reinsdorf and his fellow owners booted an at least theoretically/partially independent commissioner with an actual owner, and then completely destroyed the integrity of the regular season (expanding to 12-16 team playoffs, rampant steroids, in-season manipulation of baseballs, cancelling the 1994 World Series and most of the 2020 season, etc). American TV Ratings by Year World Series / Super Bowl / NBA Finals / NCAA CBB Champ / NHL Stanley Cup / NCAA CFB D1 NCG (Canadian audiences not included - Hurts the NHL the most on a percentage basis). 1968 MLB 22.8 NFL 36.8 1969 MLB 22.4 NFL 36.0 1970 MLB 19.4 NFL 39.4 1971 MLB 24.2 NFL 39.9 1972 MLB 27.6 NFL 44.2 1973 MLB 30.7 NFL 42.7 1974 MLB 25.6 NFL 41.6 NBA 13.5 1975 MLB 28.7 NFL 42.4 NBA 10.1 CBB 21.3 1976 MLB 27.5 NFL 42.3 NBA 11.5 CBB 20.4 1977 MLB 29.8 NFL 44.4 NBA 12.7 CBB 19.3 1978 MLB 32.8 NFL 47.2 NBA 9.9 CBB 19.9 1979 MLB 28.5 NFL 47.1 NBA 7.2 CBB 24.1 1980 MLB 32.8 NFL 46.3 NBA 8.0 CBB 19.8 1981 MLB 30.0 NFL 44.4 NBA 6.7 CBB 20.7 1982 MLB 27.9 NFL 49.1 NBA 13.0 CBB 21.6 1983 MLB 23.3 NFL 48.6 NBA 12.3 CBB 22.3 1984 MLB 22.9 NFL 46.4 NBA 12.1 CBB 19.7 1985 MLB 25.3 NFL 46.4 NBA 13.5 CBB 23.3 1986 MLB 28.6 NFL 48.3 NBA 14.1 CBB 20.7 1987 MLB 24.0 NFL 45.8 NBA 15.9 CBB 23.1 1988 MLB 23.9 NFL 41.9 NBA 15.4 CBB 18.8 1989 MLB 16.4 NFL 43.5 NBA 15.1 CBB 21.3 1990 MLB 20.8 NFL 39.0 NBA 12.3 CBB 20.0 1991 MLB 24.0 NFL 41.9 NBA 15.8 CBB 19.4 1992 MLB 20.0 NFL 40.3 NBA 14.2 CBB 22.7 1993 MLB 17.3 NFL 45.1 NBA 17.9 CBB 22.2 1994 MLB 0.0 NFL 45.5 NBA 12.3 CBB 21.6 1995 MLB 19.5 NFL 41.3 NBA 13.9 CBB 19.3 NHL 3.4 1996 MLB 17.4 NFL 46.0 NBA 16.7 CBB 18.3 NHL 3.6 1997 MLB 16.7 NFL 43.3 NBA 16.8 CBB 18.9 NHL 4.0 1998 MLB 14.1 NFL 44.5 NBA 18.7 CBB 17.8 NHL 3.3 1999 MLB 16.0 NFL 40.2 NBA 11.3 CBB 17.2 NHL 3.4 CFB 17.2 2000 MLB 12.4 NFL 43.3 NBA 11.6 CBB 14.1 NHL 3.7 CFB 17.5 2001 MLB 15.7 NFL 40.4 NBA 12.1 CBB 15.6 NHL 3.3 CFB 17.8 2002 MLB 11.9 NFL 40.4 NBA 10.2 CBB 15.0 NHL 3.6 CFB 13.8 2003 MLB 12.8 NFL 40.7 NBA 6.5 CBB 12.6 NHL 2.9 CFB 17.2 2004 MLB 15.8 NFL 41.4 NBA 11.5 CBB 11.0 NHL 2.6 CFB 14.8 2005 MLB 11.1 NFL 41.1 NBA 8.2 CBB 15.0 NHL 0.0 CFB 13.7 2006 MLB 10.1 NFL 41.6 NBA 8.5 CBB 11.2 NHL 1.8 CFB 21.7 2007 MLB 10.6 NFL 42.6 NBA 6.2 CBB 12.2 NHL 1.2 CFB 17.4 2008 MLB 8.4 NFL 43.1 NBA 9.3 CBB 12.1 NHL 2.6 CFB 14.4 2009 MLB 11.7 NFL 42.0 NBA 8.4 CBB 10.8 NHL 2.7 CFB 15.8 2010 MLB 8.4 NFL 45.0 NBA 10.6 CBB 14.2 NHL 3.1 CFB 17.2 2011 MLB 10.0 NFL 46.0 NBA 10.2 CBB 11.7 NHL 2.7 CFB 15.3 2012 MLB 7.6 NFL 47.0 NBA 10.1 CBB 12.3 NHL 1.8 CFB 14.0 2013 MLB 8.9 NFL 46.4 NBA 10.4 CBB 14.0 NHL 3.3 CFB 15.1 2014 MLB 8.2 NFL 46.7 NBA 9.3 CBB 12.4 NHL 3.0 CFB 14.8 2015 MLB 8.6 NFL 47.5 NBA 11.6 CBB 16.0 NHL 3.2 CFB 18.6 2016 MLB 12.9 NFL 46.6 NBA 11.4 CBB 10.6 NHL 2.3 CFB 15.0 2017 MLB 10.6 NFL 45.3 NBA 11.3 CBB 13.2 NHL 2.7 CFB 14.2 2018 MLB 8.3 NFL 43.1 NBA 10.0 CBB 9.2 NHL 2.7 CFB 15.6 2019 MLB 8.1 NFL 41.1 NBA 8.8 CBB 11.6 NHL 3.0 CFB 13.8 2020 MLB 5.2 NFL 41.6 NBA 4.0 CBB 0.0 NHL 1.0 CFB 14.3 2021 MLB 6.5 NFL 38.2 NBA 5.2 CBB 9.4 NHL 1.3 CFB 9.8 2022 MLB 6.1 NFL 36.9 NBA 6.6 CBB 17.0 NHL 2.3 CFB 12.1

2nd Base I guess it’s going to be Sosa or Gonzalez?

This coupled with smart trades and FA signings is why Atlanta is actually in a legitimate multi World Series Championship window, whereas Hahn talks about multi championships with perennial multiple lineup holes, no depth and no prospects beyond Colas heading into 2023. Alex Anthopoulos is the guy who does his job, Rick Hahn must be the other one. -
Who or what is an "O'Neill."? My posts are easily searchable, including season tickets. Your post cannot be further from the truth. Former Full and Partial Sox season ticket holder (2 seats). Several seasons without ST attending 1-3 dozen games, including their tanking years. Doesn't include the games I worked at the ballpark in high school (Andy Frain). I was excited during 2019 (went to many games) and that I would have free time starting in 2020 to attend 40-60 home games plus a couple White Sox road trips per season (the year I also joined this board). I only passed on 2020 ST this season because of my planned 6 week trip to Hawaii, New Zealand and Australia in September/October. Still enjoyed 2020 ST in Arizona, and would have enjoyed attending and or listening to 162 games (or perhaps a few dozen left) if Reinsdorf and the other owners didn't destroy yet another baseball season with their 102 game lockout. Tony's hiring put an end to any interest giving Jerry a penny while Tony was here, and coupled with Jerry's further actions the past two seasons have resulted in a permanent disinterest until a new non-Reinsdorf ownership group if formed. https://www.soxtalk.com/forums/search/?&q="season tickets"&author=South Side Hit Men&search_and_or=or

2023 MLB offseason signings and rumors thread
South Side Hit Men replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
No human alive has personally witnessed two White Sox World Series Championships, less than 3,200 are still alive who were born before November 1917. Miami Marlins Founded 1993 World Series Championships: Two (1997 & 2003) The Sox have averaged 4.7 more wins per season under the Rick Hahn GM era (70.0 vs. 65.3). Miami won one playoff series (1-1) to Hahn’s zero (0-2). -
Yep, the article nailed it including highlighting four prices within many sections, looking to squeeze every last penny from fans already disgusted with a decade of Hahn and four with Jerry. Charging extra next season for the LF corner Upper Deck seats (555-558). Reinsdorf holds Oakland A’s like contempt for fans. I’m waiting for death and new ownership before considering spending a penny on White Sox baseball, will return to season tickets when a non Reinsdorf owns and operates this team. This team doesn’t deserve 5,000 fans.
