    Not super worried about the secondary right now, as Kyle mentioned, they've done extremely well there. Dealt with some injuries, but not overly concerned there. The RB room isn't a concern at all for me personally. There is ALWAYS a D'onta Foreman out there in street clothes if s%*# hits the fan. And I think everyone is on the same page another WR will be drafted by the Bears early, so you'll have Moore-Allen-Draft Pick-Scott-Jones

    Not sure what else they could do after getting Swift anyways.  RB room is the least of the Bears worries.

    I'm totally being measured. It's not really my job to make excuses for an offense that some are picking to be in the first place mix at the end of the season. And somehow, those excuses aren't applying to the Sox hitters today. I wonder why. 

    I'm very happy with the way the pitching staff looked today. Kopech looks to be the weakest link. And that's good. 

    You’re trying to make people eat crow after 1 game.  Yes, you’re clearly being measured.

    Sox looking at building in South Loop

    Sox fans absolutely value parking greatly since that is the way most of them get to the games and most of them will never, ever  board public transportation in Chicago.

    How does building at the 78 make the most sense ?  You haven't even seen a rendering or a site plan that includes parking for thousands of vehicles, access to surrounding streets and expressways. Please, if you have not done so recently, drive by the Area 78 site and let us know what you think. Take a few phone pics from the street and post them here. 

     

    Stop trying to speak for “Sox fans.”  Quite literally every other Sox fan in this thread is telling you you’re wrong so hey maybe you’re fuckin wrong.

    DeJong to Sox

    I get that, but on the other hand, Dejong and Lopez suck so much that if Sosa or JRod show any pulse in AAA, they'll have spots readily available.  Its not like DFAing DeJong and moving Lopez to a bench role is beyond the realm of possibility. I don't mind not just handing Sosa / Jrod the jobs. 

    That said, this is all so disheartening. 

    Agreed on all of that.  Dejong and Nicky aren't actually going to hold anyone back, we can get rid of those two at any point.  That said, I'm going to have a good time making fun of every one of these type of moves we make this offseason cause why not.

    Back end of that may be rough, but he's a low tier ace...Happy for PHI and him

    Certainly not disagreeing with you but this is what good teams do.  They know they’re going to take a hit on the backend but worth it to try and get a championship on the front end.

    He and Jerry suck ass.

    I don't believe it was about the money as much as it was dealing with Brooks Fucking Boyer, Jerry and all the bullshit roadblocks and unnecessary grief they threw his way during his time here, including not paying for their travel in 2021 and blaming bullshit covid for their cheap ass ways.

    I don't pay for garbage TV including Jerry's broadcasts and his absolute shitshow of Ozzie and Garfein in the studio, but I really hope Len did come here because he wanted to stay on radio. I really enjoy him and DJ, perhaps the primary reason I followed games first during the Tony La Russa era and then the brutal Hahn final season. 

    If it's Connor and DJ or gasp DJ leaves, I may take some time off from Sox baseball until jerry dies, Boyer is gone, and solid broadcasters want to work here.

    It wasn't Brooks.  It was Jerry and money.  He got a big raise from Detroit and Jerry wouldn't give it to him.  He also felt that he wasn't treated right by the organization so there ya go.

    Kopech to the bullpen, Urena starting Saturday.

    They went beyond saying he was their top prosect. They had him walking on water. In addition, when he first came up, he even had worse command than he does now. His fast ball was over the place, and he nearly took a couple guys' heads off. When he did get his fast ball over, it was knocked well into the seats. Then he needs Tommy John surgery after pitching in the major leagues for a month. Forget your lol. 

    I stand by what I earlier stated. Putting unrealistic expectations on a young player isn't wise. In the end, Kopech has never lived up to the hype. And he never will.

    There are 8 billion things to destroy the White Sox for but this is a bizarre one.  All guys that highly touted get that type of hype.  Hell, Keith Law had him as the number 1 pitching prospect in the game.  That's just what top prospects go through.

    If he does find a way to better his approach and take walks the Sox will end up losing this trade by a mile.  

    100 percent but we all know that s%*# wasn't going to happen with the Sox anyways cause White Sox.
