Jeff Torborg was a classy guy.

Grant Taylor set to join White Sox in HOU
Depends which version. Although technically not the GM after 2012, he lost it. It was weird. He was always able to get guys who could hit. They might not be able to run or field, but they could hit. Then suddenly just about everyone he picked up couldn't hit, like the Sox had no idea how to recognize hitting.

Sox could use a closer.

Two often repeated statements/ arguments on this board that now seem silly:
So they are slightly better than the team that set the all time record for losses. Rejoice Sox fans, and those that said they are the same or worse are such fools. I think most on here figured they would win more than 41 games. It's not really a high bar. Calling people out because of a 6 game hot streak, which was nice to see, is absurd. This team sucks.

Arlington Heights making stadium pitch to White Sox?
The double cheeseburger at 35th Steet is easily the greatest $7 double cheeseburger and fries in Chicago. Plus the fried shrimp is supreme.

I sure am glad the So. Have played better this week and are back in the playoff hunt.

Official NBA 25-26 Thread
Didn't a players' poll call him the most overrated? He's been awesome the entire playoffs. I'd love him on my team.

Ishbia taking control by 2029?
Nashville won't build them a stadium either. They blew their wad on a football stadium.

GT Sox Vs Detroit
JR did say they were going to do whatever is necessary to give White Sox fans the team they deserve/
-
Ishbia taking control by 2029?
Right it could be 9 years. And JR could croak tomorrow and his son could run the White Sox the next 9 years like he runs the Bulls. The Bulls yearly goal used to be more commonly known as "NBA hell".

Ishbia taking control by 2029?
4 years is a while. 4 years ago, the Sox were pretty good.

Wake me up in 4 years.

CHSN to be available on antenna in Chicago
Their advertising revenue has to be at an all time low. Top Notch Burgers ads? High School sports can get that. Maybe this will help them.

If the Rate is the worst park in MLB, MLB has no problems with ballparks.

A lot of Ubers as well.

Luis Robert trade thread: La Pantera stays.
Makes me wonder if he's older than advertised.

Luis Robert trade thread: La Pantera stays.
There's a lot of BS in his statement. Of course there was a lot of BS in his reason to hire Getz. The real reasons probably were loyalty to JR and $.

Luis Robert trade thread: La Pantera stays.
Here was JR after last season: To White Sox Fans, By all measures, our on-field performance this season was a failure. As the leader of this organization, that is my ultimate responsibility. There are no excuses. I want to thank you for continuing to support the team throughout what was an embarrassing season. You all deserved better. This season’s performance was completely unacceptable and the varying reactions and emotions from our fanbase are completely understandable. While embracing new ideas and outside perspectives, we will do everything we can to fix this for 2025 and the future. This will include further development of players on our current roster, development within our system, evaluating the trade and free agent markets to improve our ballclub and new leadership for our analytics department, allowing us to elevate and improve every process within our organization with a focus for competing for championships. In fact, change has already been happening in our baseball operations group throughout this past year. When named general manager in 2023, Chris Getz and his staff immediately began conducting a top-to-bottom evaluation of our existing operations.

Exactly. Some sort of scam like that.

Yes, I’m sure that number is right, what I am saying is any discounted ticket doesn’t count towards JRs deal with the state.

Vaughn/Elko updates...
Ran the D Backs into the ground. Helped Dombrowski get fired in Boston, and the Angels are the Angels. Maybe just maybe he isn’t the baseball genius JR thinks he is.

6/1 Sox @ Orioles 12:35 PM
According to the broadcast, except for Robert, every hitter is redhot. Every pitcher is nails, and they are somehow on a 49 win pace. This organization totally sucks.

Pkesac is fine but you would think by game 6 he would know the CF last name.

There is a technicality that they have to be full price tickets. So when they give a Family Sunday discount or some other sale, those tickets do not count toward the total.
