RIP Jerry Koosman
A ly of insiders thought losing him after the 83 season was a huge reason for a dead 84 even though he was technically replaced with Tom Seaver. RIP.

2026-2027 NHL Thread: Get in losers, we're going losing
I wonder what it will take for the Blackhawks to clean house.

Official NBA 25-26 Thread
I know they weren’t supposed to be good, but the Bulls are awful. Probably better for their future, but their coach will be axed when they need to win. He was a bad hire.

“The 78” + "The Railyard" = the future of the Sox and Fire
Which is their right, and shows why the Sox have a legitmate reason to leave.

White Sox hiring Matt Roffe as Scouting Director
Seems solid. I hope he is what he seems.

He’s the Miz, and nobody beats him.

John Schriffen officially out, the search for the new PbP voice begins
You wouldn't think so, but if anyone could do it, it's JR.

Mike Monaco wouldn't be bad either. The good news this time is it's almost certainly going to be an upgrade.

Ill take in his prime Harry Caray over anyone else. Especially if Piersall was with him. Greatest booth ever.

First think Karl Ravech does after he brushes his hair in the morning is put it on.

The Schriff was definitely better in 2026 than he was in 2024 and 2025, when Brooks Boyer called him and Steve the best broadcast team in baseball. He just didn't know the game well enough to be a 1 of 30 guy., he had to use props basically. Seems like a real nice guy. I bet if there was a 10 year old Sox fan living next door to him, he showered them in Sox swag.

Onion is pretty good, but really young. I'd be a little afraid Stone would eat him up and spit him out. Randazzo seems like the right call to me.

Schriffen: "It's been an amazing three years". Implies that them calling Sox games together is over. Could Stone be on his way out?

Will Venable's Managing
He's done some questionable things, but they do play hard for him. He deserves the honor.

Fire Chris Getz
I know there are only 30 of these jobs, but why would anyone want to work for Crane? He's worse than George Steinbrenner when it comes to firing.

“The 78” + "The Railyard" = the future of the Sox and Fire
I was in the Club level for years. Absolutely loved it. FYI, when the stadium was first built, it wasn't climate controlled. the concourse looked like the other levels only smaller. I haven't been to the club level in Camden Yards, but it is supposed to be, or at least was, identical.

I am of the belief the Schriff should not be back. But to use this as an excuse would be more than lame. You gave him the PTO, he has other gigs, this was most likely set up weeks in advance. How was he supposed to know the Sox would clinch that day? It has seemed apparent to most he unlikely wasn’t coming back next year any way, if he blows off the Vegas thing, maybe he is out there as well. When it’s time to announce it, just keep it classy, it isn’t very hard.

Fire of a season!
The White Sox have always seemed set to really be something right before labor strife. Then afterwards, usually disappointing. Maybe this time it will be different. The good news to me, is other than maybe Grichuk, no one really had a season you don't think they couldn't repeat or even improve.

Derek Shomon and Ryan Fuller's Approach to Hitting
Benintendi was 0-7 with 7 k's vs Cleveland. Hard to blame the hitting coach there. Maybe the manager for batting him 5th, but Venalble doesn't deserve the axe. He does need to improve though. He let Jose Ramirez beat him 3 times in a row.
-
Fire of a season!
I do it because he's earned it. His OPS his last 60 games was under .600. I hope they figure something out. They did before, but if he can't lay off pitches he can't hit, his fall will be as fast as his rise, which was pretty incredible.
-
Derek Shomon and Ryan Fuller's Approach to Hitting
If Mune and Kolson's second halves are real, there is a problem. I do think the last few games especially, everyone except for Antonocci and Vargas were trying to hit every pitch about 500 feet. I have never seen so many whiffs on fastballs right down the pipe but 2 to 4 inches above the strike zone. Have to lay off those. Usually, it's easier said than done.

2027 Rotation
The new CBA will probably force jR to spend some money. A couple of good starters would be nice.

No but he excels at introducing his partner every game as "my guy".

Wayne Randazzo did the Bulls geme on CSN the other night. I bet he's the replacement.

“The 78” + "The Railyard" = the future of the Sox and Fire
He has a point. He's overstepping his bounds buying things with his own damn money. He needs to hold the taxpayers hostage, take their funds, delay any building for years, then have the state build them a field that they will say doesn't meet their needs 10 years later.
