This thread has become my favorite thread on this site. The season historically sucks...not a lot of hope for the near future...something about the subject of a new park is fun to think about even if it may seem like a pipe-dream! I still miss Comiskey Park...that is that ballpark that visits me in my dreasm occasionally. I have had some great times at the "new" park for sure...but it isn't "romantic" to me. So...I hope we do get a new ballpark somehow...and maybe it is just time to move up the street "a bit". And if they do somehow end up in the "78"...in my view it just seems like it would be a grand slam!

I swear he needs an eye examination...as well as other examinations but dang...it just looks like he is not seeing any pitch at all!

I pretty much agree with your entire post...but the part above might be the best post on here all season! Hilarious...love it! Good stuff in a season of UGH!

I can't wait for Pedro to be relieved of his duties...BUT...that is a completely BS question to ask him! What information is a reporter trying to learn from that question? Its only intention was to embarrass him or to obtain an answer that people would use to mock Pedro.

I guess a team could just try to beat everyone else to GC by acquiring him now...and not letting everyone else have a shot in December?

Gave up Oneil Cruz at the deadline as well...so...they (like others) do make regrettable decisions...they just have the ability to cover those mistakes with lots of cash!

The problem is that the answer to that last point/question is that "we don't know"! And won't know unless it happens and we see it all play out. That is what makes all of this fun!

I just don't know what his purpose would be...unless it is just to fill the position until we are good again. And if that is the case, then he isn't worth getting excited about. Would Outman be considered part of the rebuild? I just don't see that...

Completely agree...but on the wide angle...Sosa waited FOREVER to run...he got deked by the LF in a bad way!

I just hope they bring him up and play him! Like...almost everyday unless he proves he can't handle it! Don't sit him for a couple of days after playing...

This! Grandal might be the exception...but we sign guys we "hope" will bounce back or finally live up to potential!

TLR acted like Leury's agent last summer...the praise given to Leury from TLR was over the top! I think TLR loves Leury...but TLR isn't the one who gave Leury a 3 year deal.

Same here...I just can't understand this at all!

Yep...although it is hard to positively "grade" paths that aren't taken but this post is spot on!

Larry Himes/Jeff Torborg era is among my favorite White Sox eras...just a fun time once Himes got it going in the right direction! Torborg was the perfect manager for that era! Wish both would have stuck around longer than they were allowed to!

Is the 26 man roster something that is being proposed? When did it go to 25? 1990? I remember thinking "wow, 25 men is a lot to have on a roster"! LOL!

I agree with this sentiment...it seems like we have been hearing about him forever...waiting on this big-time prospect...and here we are still waiting!

That guy could pitch! Had trouble with those personal demons but wow could he pitch! Crazy that he was involved in trades (both coming to the White Sox and leaving) that involved some legendary White Sox names! RIP!

Sad...just watched the 1992 A-S game this weekend and he pitched in it. I think Robin might have hit off him...either way they said he had a tough 1991, signed a minor league deal for the Astros that winter and made the All-Star game. Sad to hear this.

I enjoyed Fregosi but I was a kid...I loved his successor! Torborg might be my second favorite White Sox manager!

Thanks for pointing me in this direction! I enjoy going back in time...

Dang...just looked at the boxscore...wish the entire game was on YouTube...cuts off in the 7th inning when it was raining so I thought maybe that was it? Nope...there was some action that takes place after that point: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHA/CHA198805150.shtml

I apologize if this should be in one of the other forums but wasn't sure...

Anyone ever go back and watch any "old" White Sox games on YouTube? I have found myself diving into deep nostalgia and watching some games from Comiskey. Just brings up so many great memories (not necessarily the play or the teams...LOL), just fun to be able to see the Palace again and hear the voices I listened to and see the players that I cheered for growing up! Last night I watched this one which isn't an entire game (unless it was rain-shortened) but had some fun highlights and reminded me how great of an analyst Paciorek was!

Yeah...I get that if that scenario occurs then we will look foolish. However, there is a reason Boras is happy with not getting a QO...the QO would limit the teams that might have been willing to sign CO. What if his 3 year deal is worth $40 million? We will never know if he would have accepted a QO because one thing we can all agree upon is that you can't take Scott Boras at face-value! He is way too good at his job!
