  1. And if JR didn’t get the White Sox, he wouldn’t have gotten the Bulls. He got them through Steinbrenner who was a co owner.
  2. Grady Jarrett is a Bear. Clearly they want the RB at 10. Probably will trade down if he is gone.
  3. I think a new owner would be like drafting a QB 1-1. It would excite the fanbase tremendously, and would probably increase attendance immediately. There would be a "youre not jerry Reinsdorf" party for a couple of seasons at least. Eventually the honeymoon ends, so hopefully Ishbia is more Peyton Manning than Mitch Trubisky.
  4. South Side……staaaaaand up!
  5. In a way, I would rather have these guys have this surgery now before they are any good then when we are counting on them. Hopefully, they come back better than before, like the $6 million man.
  6. Exactly. There will probably be a few more the next several months.
  7. I would predict an L. I said it last year, I'll say it this year. There is no reason to ever throw Luis Robert a strike with this line up. And you know he will swing at many of them anyway.
  8. Just remember, Bobs source is JR. So he is going to say what JR wants him to say.
  9. It's nice, but the biggest advantage of Hell is you get to root for teams owned by Jerry Reinsdorf.
  10. If Iriarte is going to be very good, unless he learns to throw strikes, it will be with the Chicago Dogs.
  11. Pitchers do consider it an honor, and I'm with you, why not give it to someone who might be with you for a while?
  12. Of course they know their percentage. They don't know the others. They don't need to know the others. Only JR knows. You probably own stock. Do you know who owns what? There was a huge article about White Sox ownership in the Tribune around 10 years ago. They spoke to several investors who knew what they owned and not much more, but Jerry has made them a lot of money so they couldn't care less.
  13. I doubt it. We didn’t know he bought them before. We have no idea how much Reinsdorfs sons bought. We don’t know how much Melody Hobson has or even if she still has them. Considering he already owns shares, if he needs more approval, I’m sure it’s a formality.
  14. That the shares that he bought will be made public. They never have before. One thing that could at least show something significant has developed, is if they put Ishbia on the board. No one has been added to the board since it was created. Only deleted by death. But I suspect he won’t be put on the board. I also think how ever many shares he was able to buy now, he will be the managing owner of the White Sox one day, hopefully soon.
  15. I don’t agree. We have never known the breakdown. In fact, in the Tribune story about 10 years ago, the investors didn’t know who owned what. They speculated and JR said they were wrong. How wrong, only he knows, and he won’t say anything. Since Ishbia already had shares, he probably doesn’t need more approval. Even Greenberg said he has no idea how many investors there are. It could be 30 it could be much less. I’m sure JR isn’t happy the story got out that Ishbia did this after speaking with him.
  16. I don’t think you will hear anything. No one knew Ishbia was an investor with the White Sox until this came out.
  17. I saw him on TV a couple of days ago. He has no idea how many shareholders there are. It could be 30, it could be less than 10, but he did talk to someone who was definitely selling, and someone who was not.
  18. Yeah, hopefully the team can continue to be run by Reinsdorfs, so we can continue to enjoy all the success the team has had.
  19. The White Sox are a laughingstock because they have lost 222 games the last 2 seasons while they were supposed to be in their championship window with the highest payroll in the division. If you want to call a team a laughingstock based on practice games played in February, you really need some help.
  20. No doubt. All those guys that played last year earned it. You didn’t used to work for the Iraqi military did you?
  21. Vaughn has been in the major leagues for 4 seasons. Each year his OPS has been higher than Gallo’s, so you’re basing everything on bullshit.
  22. They are printing money in Tampa. How bad would JRs teams be in the same division as the Yankees and Red Sox
  23. Law kept saying his back was an issue in 2023 as well. This can't be good. Hopefully they can find some sort of fix. We are due for a break.
