QUOTE (Coach @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 07:39 AM) And who cares about many years ago. I am talking about the last 25 years. Wrigleyville was a dump many years ago but that does not count anymore. My point is that no matter how the Sox do compared to the Cubs, they Cubs will always fill their seats because of the stuff outside and around the stadium. Sox can't compete with that. I was up by Wrigley Field yesterday. About half the bars are gone. It is a construction zone. It will probably be really nice when it is completed.

I think for what can be compared, the coverage seemed about equal. I went to every home playoff game so I didn't see any coverage then. But they covered the road games and clinchers well IMO. And read those articles about how the Sox were slighted by CBS, ESPN, and the joker with the Washington Post who said Red Sox fans were the only ones who could relate to the long championship drought the Cubs and Indians are going through. Read the Cubs fans comments at the end, and for all those who ever questioned why White Sox fans want the Cubs to lose despite having friends and family who are fans of the team, you will have your answer.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 04:28 PM) What did she say? haha She is several years older than me. She told me I was being childish and I should be happy for Chicago. I told her as a White Sox fan, Cleveland winning isn't exactly ideal either, but she was definitely miffed.

I get people hoping the Cubs win because their friends or family members are Cubs fans. IMO, however, I don't care. When they play the White Sox I am not happy for they when they win. My Cubs fan friends and family have made it through life just fine without a WS title, I am sure they will be fine if they don't win this year. Who knows, maybe winning would be bad for them. A neighbor really let me have it after she said go Cubs to me and I responded enthusiastically with an ehh... I know of no Cubs fans who were happy in October of 2005.

The other problem with a lakefront stadium opening to the skyline is that it would have to face at least slightly west. Sun in hitter's eyes is never a good thing and will never happen.

I have always found it interesting that supposedly millions upon millions of dead people vote, and none of them vote for republicans.

QUOTE (Carpe Diem @ Oct 25, 2016 -> 01:20 AM) The problems have been so friggin obvious that I'm starting to feel the only way they will be solved is by new ownership. They include: -The stadium is located in a terrible part of town and lacks originality. Build a stadium (from their own pockets) on the Lake with the Skyline featured as well and I will bet anything attendance BOOMS. -Kenny Williams is still here. He is he equivalent to an NFL coach who runs the Tampa 2 with no adjustments. He struck gold ONE TIME with his backwards ways and has been average at BEST since. He needs to go ASAP. -EMBRACE YOUTH. I know the Chicago sports media/radio is full of insufferable Cubs shills, but the reality of the matter is they didn't event the philosphy of blowing it all up and starting from scratch. It's common f***in sense. Fix these issues and the White Sox will be a formidable franchise. Lakefront is public property, and will never be on the table. Plus public transportation and parking make it a no go. As to embracing youth and mentioning the Cubs, the White Sox have a younger roster. The Cubs have one of the oldest rotations in baseball.

I think what happened was they already had the segment written and the graphics made when someone realized they f***ed up, so they just used the they weren't rooting for the White Sox line. As for the CBS thing, that is just idiotic. These are supposed news organizations. Whether they consider the White Wox irrelevant or not, missing they won the WS 11 years ago is a huge pox on them.

Jason Kipnis grew up a Cubs fan in Northbrook. He lived a couple of houses away from Steve Bartman,

In the grand scheme of things, the "suffering" that occurs because the sports team you follow doesn't win a championship really isn't a big deal. And in the grand scheme of things, a Cubs WS title to a Cubs hater like me isn't that big of a deal. That said, here's to another 108 years.

if you followed any of the Lucas Museum troubles, you will realize a ballpark isn't going to be built on the lakefront. And unless JR wants to foot the bill, not in Illinois either.

They just fired their president a week or so ago

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 10:04 AM) Kellyanne did, after she took her own poll of "people around her" I hope for her sake Kellyanne is getting paid a ton of money and really doesn't want to ever manage a campaign again. Would any future candidate have the nerve to hire Donald Trump's campaign manager as their own?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 05:50 PM) Taking pictures with jurors and the judge afterwards. Love our justice system Wow. That is pretty bad. The case against him was pretty weak though.

Blew Donalson away on 3 fastballs. Fans EE with 3 breaking balls. Impressive

Blew Donaldson away.

Through his age 26 season, the only season Miller had a ERA below 5.54, it was 4.84 in an NL pitchers park. Now he is unreal

DRose off the hook.

I am putting it my living room. My wife is pissed.

QUOTE (beautox @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 03:04 PM) Yes, Even though Maybin and Miller didn't quite work out for the Marlins doesn't prove they weren't talented pieces to be given up for Miggy. If a Sale or Q trade worked out the same way the Miggy trade worked out for the Marlins, there would be a lot of unhappiness.

Under Armor is going to be the new MLB uniform maker in 2020 replacing Majestic. They will also replace Nike with the under the uniform stuff.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 01:37 PM) "And the white sox have won the world series" Buck is awful But being a homer is also awful. The thing about announcers is almost no matter what, a pretty good chunk of people will not like them at all. There are very few who are universally loved. Pat Foley is probably the closest thing in Chicago to no critics, although several years ago I used to play basketball with him and he wasn't very good and was a ball hog.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 12:39 PM) why do people have beef with Joe Buck? I've always wondered why. I think it's because he has a cool job of describing the best games, and gets paid a lot to do it. I've always thought he was pretty good. When he does that dark stubble deal, it does remind me of Hulk Hogan when he used to draw a beard on his face. It was interesting that losing his voice a couple years ago almost permanently was a result of his addiction to hair plugs.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) The GOP has a page soliciting write-in recommendations from the public for Trump's cabinet appointments. I'm sure this will be taken very seriously. Nobody Online would use this for comedic purposes. https://gop.com/survey/cabinet-survey/?utm_...tm_source=e_t-t The least he could do is find something for Billy Bush.
