White Sox @ Detroit; Smith vs Flaherty 5:40pm CST
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!

Illinois High School Football Thread
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.

White Sox @ Detroit; Smith vs Flaherty 5:40pm CST
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.

Sox offense since the All-Star break
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.

Sox offense since the All-Star break
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.

Sox offense since the All-Star break
Interesting you don't think they are close to .500 team next year.

Sox offense since the All-Star break
That would be typical Sox if this no name staff makes no progress at all and spoils an improved hitting attack.
-
Sox offense since the All-Star break
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.

White Sox @ Twins; Gomez vs Matthews
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.

White Sox @ Twins; Martin vs Woods-Richardson 6:40 pm CST
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.
-
White Sox @ Twins; Martin vs Woods-Richardson 6:40 pm CST
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.

White Sox @ Twins; Martin vs Woods-Richardson 6:40 pm CST
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.

White Sox @ Twins 1:10 PM
Who would have ever thought Montgomery would be this good. I bet they are tempted to lock him up forever contract wise. What a sensational power hitter.

2025/2026 College Football Thread
I assume Notre Dame added a ton of portal players like everybody else. Could it be the portal is going to eventually eliminate all but one, maybe two powerhouse teams per season? it's still a team game and portal guys can take a while to fit in.

Predict the White Sox win total 2025
All of them have somehow found a way to acquire players good enough to contend. Lip's front office comment would be the only reason for the Sox total ineptitude if we are saying they actually have a desire to win. I can buy the argument that the Sox front office 'may' be that bad.
-
Predict the White Sox win total 2025
None of them tried to lose like we have done for a long time.

Predict the White Sox win total 2025
It prolly doesn't seem that way but I hear you, LipMan. I just think in our Sox case the tank/rebuild thing has been an utter DISASTER. For gosh sakes Bill Veeck at least tried to win (1977 pitch at risk to Richie Zisk). And something you and others won't explain to me: How the heck do fellow low market teams KC, Cleveland, Minnie Detroit do it? It ain't the tank/rebuild method. They just get enough players to compete. Sorry to be a broken record; the losing just tears me up year after year.

Predict the White Sox win total 2025
I never thought we'd be like those Orioles teams of whenever it was, 8-10 years ago mabe, that were out of it in May every year and were the dregs of baseball. Sox really have damaged their reputation historically. We used to be average to contention fairly often. Now we stink every single season. Very sad. I know the tank/rebuild lovers don't mind much but it saddens me we've become the Bears and Bulls of baseball, noncontenders.

Might as well lose 100 again. Wonder if we can get there.

8/27/25 Gamethread Royals @ White Sox 6:40 PM
Sox have had more no name stiffs like Civale the last few tank seasons than in their entire previous history. Name after name of crummy ballplayers. We go through players like Elizabeth Taylor went thru husbands. ... Civale needs to say sayonara.

8/27/25 Gamethread Royals @ White Sox 6:40 PM
Getting boatraced by the Royals again makes me want to flush the whole organization. I realize I've expressed positivity this season regarding the Sox, but darn it, these losses to KC are ridiculous. Nights like this make me want to puke. Two seasons in a row now I have only watched highlights, no MLB.com, so at least I have that going for me. 12-1. You must be kidding me. KC blows and we lose like that to them ... again?? p.s. the sox win probability was 65 percent after Beni's homer. What a worthless stat is win probability.

Royals series continues 8/26 640 CDT
Somebody needs to count the actual number of fans at the game tomorrow. What a revolting game tonight. Massey beats on the Sox again after being in the minors for a hella long time. Royals need to send thank you cards to all White Sox once they clinch a playoff spot again thanks to our boys.
