Chances are any beer money or going out for dinner money you dont spend because you don't like the neighborhood in Bridgeport, you will spend if visiting on the Gold Coast or some other neighborhood that you would be staying, or if you are from the area, around home. That's a net zero for Illinois. If you loved a Japanese restaurant but then found out the new one across the street was better, the new one would be "generating" revenue from you, but the one you had been a patron, would not. If more people were buying $15 beers from jerry Reinsdorf, fewer would be buying $6 beers from the bar a block from their house. I don't get where you think everyone with suddenly start spending thousands of dollars more than they are spending because JR built a new park. The reality is yes they will spend more than is being spent at the 78, but other areas are going to pay for that.

i don't. He made $4 million for 6 moths work.

How does the state make money? Any tax revenue generated will be offset by it not being generated elsewhere. They have lost their ass on every project like this they have provided funding. This one is going to be different? There is a huge demand for apartments by a White Sox park? People are going to be flooding into games because? For those who drive, it will be the biggest pain in the ass they have ever had. They will yearn for the days of a park right off the Dan Ryan. But hey, if you sit in the right area, you will get a view of the top third of the Sears Tower, nd any apartment towers your tax dollars help build. I don’t drive to games, and it’s closer to home. For me it would be good. But I don’t want the state strapped for cash to give them any. There are more important things to waste it on.

Who is going to lead off? The Schrif told us Nicky really took to leading off. He wasn't Rickey Henderson, but pretty close.

So wait, Justin Fields had the same receivers or worse, and they were open all the time? There is a lot there for Caleb, it all isn't his fault, but he does hold the ball too long and has been very inaccurate with a lot of his throws.

Let me guess, Waldron's previous boss.

They went 6 quarters without targeting Kmet. What kind of idiot is calling the plays?

They need to address the offensive line. They cannot get away with mediocrity at best there. It's not a great OL to start out, and when every starter is hurt, it's Division III.

I read somewhere that Eberflus signed an extension and there is no way he isn't coaching the team in 2025 unless there is some health reason. Seems fishy. This season goes down the tubes, I don't see how you can possibly bring him back.

The Reds are having Pete Rose Day when they play the White Sox. The Sox are the homecoming opponent for every team. Maybe Dunn can ruin that day, and haunt his former team.

The fact of the matter is, if the site was a fraction of the money maker the developer and JR claim it is, it would have been developed long ago.

Caleb Williams makes Justin Fields look like he gets the ball out quick.

Of course he was full of it. He said the Sox offer was for more money, but for some reason the team couldn’t afford to match the Padres offer of less money.

Well because of his age, he will be a bargain. Why doesn’t Getz just sign him? I’m sure he will be impressed with Chris’ vision of the future.

No GM has ever been able to accomplish what Chris Getz was able to accomplish in his first year on the job.

What about the jobs lost in Bridgeport. The jobs thing has always been a farce. They are creating very few new jobs. Just transferring from one location to another. There are literally over 100 companies in Chicago alone that employ more people and create more revenue than the White Sox. Shouldn’t they be entitled to new rent free offices built by the state? Enough with JR. There was a question on the ballots in one of the wards this past election asking about using public funds for a Bears stadium. The voters gave it an overwhelming no. And that’s the Bears, far more popular than the White Sox, and they would actually contribute $2 billion. Politicians going against their constituents wishes aren’t politicians much longer. JR and the McCaskeys are going to have to find another way.

They put it back up. You used to be able to watch a video to remove it, but the video doesn't work.

Penn Murfee is a new piece of the White Sox bullpen. Jimmy Lambert and Matt Foster are now free agents. At the very least, it's a good name for a reliever.

I'm still going crazy over DVD players.

In a way he was wrong. They aren't underaged. They just claim to be. There are suspicions Jose Abreu is a bit older than his listed age. How would anyone know? i saw a picture of Jose Contreras in 1982. He didn't look 11 years old.

I'm sure there are tons of guys playing right now with fake dates of birth. I bet every team has several in their organization.

I saw something that blew my mind. Jake Eder is older than Juan Soto.

Shocking really. 3 years ago, if someone said there was a decent chance Eloy and TA would be done by the end of 2024, even the biggest pessimists would have laughed.

Yeah the Yankees were clearly so poorly coached they played in the World Series.

This is the 2013 White Sox. If you want to pin their sucking on Robin Ventura, I will counter and say the roster was a bit problematic when it came to winning. https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHW/2013.shtml
