Fair question. I just think most cities wind up having the citizens pay for most of it. Although KC Royals right now may have to move to Kansas for their new stadium cause Missouri citizens don't wanna pay. If Missouri voters remain steadfast the Royals will be lost to the Kansas side.

Agreed. As long as Pritzger is around (he's totally against helping pay for it) your comment makes GREAT sense. It's not like 35th and Shields and Bridgeport are going anywhere.

No offense, but in this day and age would anybody care if the Sox moved out of state? We already have the Cub and the Sox because of Jerry and all this losing generally regarded as inconsequential IMO. The state is NOT gonna give Sox owners any money for a new stadium. We know that. So that means the Sox either shut up and stay at 35th and Shields or the new owners move or build their own stadia at the 78. ... I'm thinking most people in Chicago think of Jerry as a businessman making money off the people of Chicago, not trying in the least to entertain or win. Good riddance most will say or Bye Bye if they are kinder than that.

K, thanks for the answer.

Are we allowed to discuss the Charlie Kirk death on here? I'll leave it at that while adding "Rest in peace."

Glad your son likes BR. I truly enjoyed it there except for the fact it was all boys. Back in the day the brothers (there were brothers then) had leeway to slap you as well. I have a good story about cross country on here if anybody wants to hear it, what happened at the Catholic League CC meet and a meet at Loyola to me. Humorous yet sorta sad (to me). Anyhow, if we can stay healthy this team is so good. Not so sure I like coach having a practice after pounding Rita, but he knows his team better than me. Hopefully he did a lot of congratulating of the kids cause after a win you should be able to celebrrate it 24 hours. Peace out. Any inside scoop on our QB? Is he special and can he stay healthy?

Man. We blew out St. Rita tonight on the road after smoking Marist on the road and winning the opener against Valpo. Folks, we got a team this year. If Rice can stay healthy, this is different. This Rice team is special. St. Larry (Laurence) and Rice appear to be the best teams on the South side. Whether we can beat Loyola or MC is anybody's guess but we are GOOD.

All the Sox do is win. I think it's obvious the team will contend next season as .500 is good enough to contend in our division. Our manager must be good to get this much out of our no-name pitching staff. The hitting has been remarkable the second half. Sox must have a good hitting coach, too. How many were really in the park today, 1,000 even? They called it 11,000.

I just read on WGN website the Bears have chosen Arlington Heights. Smart move. Everything about the decision is correct IMO. In the article it said 50 percent of Bears ticket holders live within 25 miles of Arlington Hts.

Tauchman has had a pretty good year. I'd keep him. Sox need to spend some money on efficient pitchers. The offense looks OK to good if Monte is healthy and Robert keeps improving.

Rice does a nice job of hiring good football and bball coaches. This football coach must do a good job of recruiting. I saw he had a comment on how the game meant alot "especially for the kids from the neighborhood." Hilarious how Catholic League schools recruit. I'd love to see where Loyola and MC are getting all their kids from, same with BR, Rita and Marist. I was pleasantly surprised at BR. They looked so much better than Marist on this night. Good luck to your son. Looks like both lines are good.

There should be another name for us besides 'haters.' We deserve to have great anger toward the Sox for what they've put on the field for many years. We ain't haters; we are raters. And we rated the team F for a long time.

How bout those White Sox?? The offense is resembling '77, baby. Run after run against the AL Central. We need those new owners to take over now, buy some talent to go with Colson the Magnificent and win some pennants. Go Sox! Go Bro Rice!

Wow. BR clobbers Marist at Marist, 35-0. I watched much of it with just the video no sound. Damn it looks like we have a team this year. Rice looked more like Mt. Carmel or Loyola in scoring at will and stuffing Marist. Maybe Marist is gonna have a down year or we're that good. Some kid on Rice got hurt. I hope it's not your son as it was a lineman. Do u know who got hurt? Dan O'Brien didn't mention who it was but the game was delayed quite a while then he limped off with ostensibly a knee. I know we have a big kid who is an Illini signee. Rice rules. 2-0. It's been a while since Rice even beat Marist much less pounded 'em. QB looks good.

Seriously ... Montgomery is off to the best start in modern Sox history ... NO HYPERBOLE. Are u freaking kidding me? Did anybody see this coming? This guy is beyond words. Only a total Scrooge would disagree with greg on this one. My gosh. The Sox finally got a draft pick right. It will be criminal so to speak to not build a team around HIM this offseason. Any more losing b.s. is TIME WASTED. Colson can play the game of baseball, folks. You name a better start in Sox modern history.

Say what you want: The Sox are rising.

Then the Sox must be in a totally separate stratosphere of KC. Cleveland, Detroit and Minnie who all are also wretched organizations. Hard to believe we will be this bad til the new owner takes over. ... And we sweep Minnie on the road. Crazy.

I saw this post after I commented on your other one. Interesting. I'm glad we agree our pitching staff still reeks. I didn't realize the team was that bad defensively now. Remember our opposition isn't exactly lights out good. I think we'll finish 3-4 below .500, way worse if the pitching staff is abysmal.

Interesting you don't think they are close to .500 team next year.

That would be typical Sox if this no name staff makes no progress at all and spoils an improved hitting attack.

Are the Sox suddenly contenders for 2026? Is the team a .500 team right now? Amazing how good the Sox have been post all star break with this pitching staff arguably one of the most no name staffs in Sox history.

Great win in the 9th. That last grounder to Mead. Such a bad throw to first. Nice dig by whomever was playing first. All of a sudden we've been beating up the Twins. Nice.

Don't you like when a fan actually likes a White Sox player? I like Beni so what's wrong with that? Enough Sox hate the last 2 tank jobs.

I think Beni is one case the new stats don't tell the story. He's hitting about .250 now finally and he has blasted close to 20 homers. His arm is worse than ever but that's OK. He plays for the flawed White Sox. I guess his LF defense makes him a below average player overall but man, he has been a productive hitter for the Sox, advanced metrics be darned. Plus remember he's on a losing team. If he was needed by a contender he'd take more pitches, draw more walks, etc. I'm a Beni-liker. He's good IMO.

Who is Will Robertson? How'd we get him? BTW how can anybody dislike Beni? He's had a helluva season and a half for Chicago.
