Falstaff

AMF I don't care where he goes or how he does.

I am digging Venable officially on board, let the process begin. Step 1: Excavation

I tried to watch every White Sox podcast yesterday and there was plenty of positivity on the Venable hire. I'm still pumped on the Sox getting their man and looking forward to the presser today.

With the hiring of Venable, I will have to adjust the 2025 White Sox win total to 117. (Sox get swept in ALDS) The Chicago White Sox will be the only team in MLB history to set 2 modern day records in back-to-back seasons.

Got to start somewhere, scouting, analytics, manager

Chuck Tanner took over the 1971 team that was coming off a 106 loss season. 1972 the Sox were in 1st place as late as August 28th, ahead of the A's who went on to win 3 straight WS. 1972 was my favorite baseball season outside of 2005. To this day I still find joy in that 2nd place team. The White Sox will be contenders again, it is going to happen, and this could be the beginning of the process.

Me, I care

I am a happy camper with what I am reading about Venable. His credentials are so impressive, Princeton, Special Assistant to Theo, bench coach under a future HoF manager in Boche. Getz came through to get Will onboard, good job.

Now that you put it that way let me rethink this over. Yep, still a buzz kill if Nevin gets hired.

Judge Smails from Caddyshack, "You'll get nothing and like it! "

Buzz kill if Nevin gets hired. I survived the 2024 White Sox, I guess I could get through 1 year or a 1 1/2 years of Nevin until he is canned.

With Skip Schumaker out my new list of the final 3 in order: #1 Grady #2 Sergio Santos #3 Albernaz #3a Phil Nevin (last resort)

What is the opinion of Phil Nevin getting the job? I remember him as a ballplayer, he had a decent career. Is Getz regulated to the Dollar Store for his hire?

I am not sure which podcast, either Locked on White Sox or Future Sox were discussing the managerial candidates, and it was mentioned that there is not a clear-cut fan's pick and that it could go in any direction.

I see ads for Verizon Whole Home Internet. When is 6G coming out

Does anyone use 5G from their cell phone provider for home internet/Wi-Fi? And what is your opinion of the service I wouldn't mind cutting out my cable company.

I don't know, but I've been told Jerry Reinsdorf gotta go Boom-shaka-laka-laka Boom-shaka-laka-laka Boom-shaka-laka-laka

Not sure. I thought I saw Montgomery playing 3rd down in AZ, I could be wrong. I have also read that Montgomery in the long run is more suited for 3rd over SS.

My Skip Schumaker love is getting a TLR reality check, dagnabbit, there's always a catch.

I am trying to think what the Sox will do assuming they keep Vaughn, how about the following: 1st base: Ramos (even if he is new to the position I will take his glove over Vaughn's) 2nd base: Sosa 3rd base: Vargus sink or swim and then move on and then call up Montgomery to replace him Full time DH: Vaughn, just let him concentrate on hitting. I am not expecting miracles here. Release Sheets

I thought I would put this out there, JR sells the White Sox and buys the Twins. That's a two for one, The Sox instantly improve, and the Twins start to decline.

Lawrence Kansas .... the first thing I think of is Quantrill and Bloody Bill Anderson

The parking lot is like a roach motel , you can get in but you can't get out

If anyone has been to a Dodger game they understand why fans leave early.

After hearing other possible candidates, my choices are: #1 - Skip #2 - Grady I am optimistic for 2025 to see the pitching staff improvements and what position players take the next step.
