I predict Yoan is going to have a monster season this year.

I heard Josh Donaldson. They're going to name the baby Jackie.

Coop will fix him.

Interesting stuff. I don't understand how Chuck could have remained the biggest shareholder through 1961. I always thought Bill Veeck was the biggest shareholder at that time. How did Veeck manage to control the team for two years if Chuck Comiskey was still the majority shareholder?

That must have been Kramer's friend.

Your point is well taken, but again it comes down to Reinsdorf and his organization sucking. Regardless, Reinsdorf preemptively stated that they wouldn't even make an attempt to sign the best player in baseball.

White Sox need desperately need starting pitching. White Sox desperately need Left Handed Power hitting. White Sox desperately need a superstar to attract interest and draw fans and make the team seem relevant. So of course, Reinsdorf has no interest in Ohtani. Reinsdorf sucks and so does his entire organization. And Sox fans are conditioned to just accept it.

The worst day in the history of the franchise. Edit: Well, maybe the second worst. The worst day was when Einhorn and Reinsdorf bought the franchise.

I had season tickets to the Blitz in 1983, got pissed off and cancelled when they pulled the swap before the '84 season. I would be ecstatic if the Sox and Diamonbacks pulled a similar swap today, exchanging entire organizations but keeping the team names in their current cities. Too bad there's not a chance of that happening.

I'll wait for Katy Perry's Booty Hole.

Should have kept Rowand, Frank and Everett.

I remember at one point Blomberg was being touted as the next Yankee superstar.

Dick Allen. My baseball hero!

Not landing Cabrera, Harper and Machado still pisses me off. Every one of them could have easily been acquired but JR just wouldn't do it. But he continually has no problem overpaying mediocre players.

Was Benetti ever considered as part of the young championship core?

But when Einhorn & Reinsdorf first bought the franchise Einhorn promised it would be a class organization!

Robinson?

If that's really true I hope KW has a miserable retirement.

The "young championship core!"

A middle reliever. Great.

If we had two Wilbur Woods we'd only need one other starting pitcher,LOL! He used to pitch on two days rest!

If they acquire Perez and Merrifield, it better be for a package containing Moncada and Benintendi.

But then they wouldn't have had the money to extend Moncada, silly.
