WhiteSox2023

Yep, I remember Lip mainly reporting the updated stats on 1-run losses. Most of us were just waiting for Beavis to appear because the Sox awful offense was shut out so many times. 🤣

“When you get older, other people's opinions won't matter to you as much.“

Preller and Padres scouts obviously knew a bit more than Hahn and Sox scouts. They knew that Shields was absolutely burnt toast and got back the best player in the trade.

Remember the past dreams of trading for Pages?

Charlotte is 6 games back so they still have a chance.

A 17 year old Venezuelan outfielder that the Dodgers just signed in January. I guess Thomas is good enough to at least be a fourth outfielder? for the Dodgers.

“Bears have the toughest strength of schedule for the 2026 regular season. Chicago opponents last year had a combined winning percentage of 55 percent, edging out the Dolphins for the year’s most difficult schedule. This follows an excellent 2025 campaign in which head coach Ben Johnson led the Bears to an 11-6 record with the NFC’s seventh best point differential, just ahead of the Vikings. Things could be slightly more challenging for Caleb Williams and company, though an other year of development and experience in Johnson’s cutting-edge offensive system could counteract the team’s tough slate of games in 2026.”

Good call. The ultimate lawyer speak.

Never thought of this angle. 🤣

We need a SoxTalk dictionary. I’m sure I’m missing a lot more… Jedi Sith Panicans Propagandists Glum chums

I hope it’s not a pressed spear or pointed picket fence.

Apparently you do care what other people think. Anyways, @CaliSoxFanViaSWside said that @Look at Ray Ray Run was “trying to squash dreams”. If your dreams are that the White Sox turn into a .500 team or better, you really need to reevaluate the importance of things. My hopes and dreams are that my kids do well in college, have nice careers, and are successful in life. My “dreams” won’t be “squashed” if the Sox don’t win another WS. It would be nice if they did, but it’s not all that important in the grand scheme of things to me. Besides, Jerry and Sox players don’t give two shits about me so why would I worry all that much about them? Sports is a hobby. A form of entertainment. It’s not that do or die whether you are a “Jedi” or a “Panican”. No one on their deathbed is really thinking about how sad it is that the Sox haven’t won another WS since 2005.

Is he trying to say that Benintendi has some sort of handicap? Also, why does that make him a perfect fit for the White Sox? 😳

Huh?!? 🤔

Power rankings are about as worthless as Miss Cali’s predictions… “Some of us have seen the rise and predicted it.”

Yes, I must stick it to everyone that thought the Sox sucked (which they have for three seasons; this is factual), just because they are now playing around .500 baseball! As if that person had anything to do with the current success of the team. I guess some people just want to take credit for being “the greatest White Sox fan ever”, even though they have zero control over how the team performs.

Yep. It was funny because I seem to remember that we had heard about the trade rumors well before it happened and Shields went out and had some awful starts right before the trade went down. I can’t remember exactly how many starts Shield had after we all had initially heard the rumor but it was definitely enough time for Hahn to re-think the trade and not go through with it.

@Look at Ray Ray Run never called anyone (or Cali) a “chump for following a loser team”. He stated his own expectations about the team and said “you do you”, which is basically saying that people can have differing opinions and expectations of the team than him. You don’t need to put words in his mouth. We can all read his quote and see that he did not say what you responded with. Also, your entire response disproves the last sentence of your post. You obviously care.

I’ll believe once Jerry no longer owns the team. In the meantime, I will dread having to watch Getz try to deal with the Murakami situation next season.

Has it been confirmed that that’s what it is? It sure looks like it. Maybe Brooke will ask?

That throw was hilarious.

Please stop tickling the balls.

Anyone see/hear about this little fight at the game last night? https://x.com/djyianni/status/2052966172539146723/video/1?s=46 https://x.com/smitgod/status/2053136372118979047?s=46

Wow, lol. Definitely sounds like he is pissed at Thomas and trying to prove a point.
