Falstaff

Listening to the ping of the aluminum bat I am curious how much Roch has used wooden bats?

Bowden will also be handing out Participation Trophies.

If you have never been to Spring Training, I would suggest going it's a good time. The one thing that was really expensive was renting a car so unless they have lowered the prices be prepared to get hit with all sorts of fees. Camelback Park is also a must see, you can roam around the complex before the game. I would suggest that you go to a Sox game at other parks, there are some beautiful parks that are worth seeing.

Could Hays and Benintendi be platooned in LF? Something has to give with Benintendi and Sosa, I wouldn't mind seeing both moved.

I would like to see Grant Taylor get a shot at starting with all the new bullpen additions coming on board.

I was at all the 2005-home playoff & WS games and loved every minute of it. I have heard Chris Berman's call, and it was unprofessional. He's the rube and probably viewed as one by people in the business.

Hope springs eternal,

I couldn't agree more, excellent article.

Roch, Bonemer, CMonty, BMonty, Carlson, and Acuna can flash the leather.

More patches please

I googled Justin Ishbia's net worth and it's at approximately $5.4 billion. I do not know how accurate that is but let's go with it. Reinsdork is going to muck up the works for 3 more years? Let's take a conservative outlook on Ishbia's net worth with growth at 4% annually for 3 years, he would be north of $6 billion when Reinsdork walks away.

I am not expecting miracles, but it will be fun to watch the development,

I feel pretty good about 2026 knowing Josh Rojas is gone.

He gone

You could just about put together a team with his brother and 6 cousins.

Sox Machine mention of Acuna's bat speed got me to think about Colson's turnaround. Acuna does have some tools to work with.

The trade is cathartic, time to move on. I didn't have high expectations, but Acuna is fast, who knows he could be a fan favorite over time.

I became a lifelong White Sox fan because of Wilbur Wood, Bart Johnson, Terry Forster, Goose Gossage, Bill Melton, Carlos May, No Neck Walt Williams, and Ed Herrmann. RIP Wilbur

When you want to get something off your chest go ahead and post because you are a Sox lifer just like all of us on this board. 41-121, bring it on I'm still here. I don't need a "Croix de Candlestick" pin as a badge of honor or some fake Cub fan woe is me.

Baltimore Orioles lose coach to White Sox (Not sure if this was posted)

Anyone of those guys could have a breakout season with the Sox. The Blue Jays Trey Yesavage started game 1 and is starting tonight in game 5 off the World Series, let that sink in,

2025 was the first signs of hope. I am not expecting miracles but 10-15 more wins in 2026 would be realistic.

If there is a strike in 2027 it will be interesting to see how many current players are richer than the net worth of the previous owners at the time of the last strike. The owners of the 28 MLB teams involved in the 1994–95 strike included: Acting Commissioner: Bud Selig (also owner of the Milwaukee Brewers) Atlanta Braves: Ted Turner Baltimore Orioles: Peter Angelos (who famously refused to use replacement players during the strike) Boston Red Sox: John Harrington, representing the Yawkey Trust California Angels: Jackie Autry and Gene Autry Chicago Cubs: Tribune Company (owned the team) Chicago White Sox: Jerry Reinsdorf Cincinnati Reds: Marge Schott Cleveland Indians: Richard Jacobs Colorado Rockies: Jerry McMorris, Oren Benton, and Richard Monfort Detroit Tigers: Mike Ilitch Florida Marlins: Wayne Huizenga Houston Astros: Drayton McLane Kansas City Royals: Ewing Kauffman Los Angeles Dodgers: Peter O'Malley Milwaukee Brewers: Bud Selig Minnesota Twins: Carl Pohlad Montreal Expos: Claude Brochu New York Mets: Fred Wilpon and Nelson Doubleday Jr. New York Yankees: George Steinbrenner Oakland Athletics: Walter Haas Jr. Philadelphia Phillies: Bill Giles, owned by a group of partners Pittsburgh Pirates: Kevin McClatchy St. Louis Cardinals: Fred Kuhlmann, later sold to William DeWitt Jr. in 1995 San Diego Padres: Tom Werner San Francisco Giants: Peter Magowan Seattle Mariners: Jeff Smulyan Texas Rangers: George W. Bush and Edward W. Rose Toronto Blue Jays: Labatt Brewing Company, which was owned by a subsidiary of Interbrew in 1995

So you're saying we have a chance.😀
