I was making a broad generalization about Sox news not Sox fans. Look at all that you added. I never called anyone a sucker. I know you don't like me, never had, but resorting to lies like this is really low.

I don't believe anyone has to make up negative news with this team. It's as natural to them as waking up with bad breath. Positive news on the other hand has to be made up and planted with media sources that they have control over and need to be fact checked. It's like panning for gold. The dirt you just keep washing away, but when you spot somthing shiny you slow down and verify. So as a Sox fan 90% of the news will be negative and mostly factual. It's the other 10% that require a closer look. I will agree it is much easier to get Sox fans to believe a negative lie than a positive one. But that really is on the team for generating so much negativity. I would have been a more careful writer if I knew my words would be scrutinized.

Exactly. And those we fact check and quickly prove inaccurate or exaggerations. The negative are generally true.

It's also not the same as misinterpreting what I wrote.

It's been so long since we've had any positive news. I'll fact check a positive story faster than I will a negative. What percentage of the verified news regarding the team has been positive in the past three years? I'm saying 10% or less?

The news has been all negative for the past couple years. It's far easier for me to believe something negative than anything positive.

White Sox fans guide to what is credible and what is a lie. Negatives are truth Positives are lies You'll be correct 90% of the time. The culture just keeps getting carried down for over a century. Send everyone to Nashville, call them the Nashville Cats then place an expansion White Sox team in Chicago.

Thank you. That was my reasoning. Exactly when they really needed someone big and bold they hired someone that may have made Tony look good. Huge mistake at a big moment. They should trademark the phrase.

Limiting this to just the 21st Century my Sox Mount Rushmore of Infamy Tony LaRussa Mike Clevinger Pedro Grifol JR There are several others that are close, Billy Botch, Kimbrel, Vaughn, TA, Vizquel, some will have Luery the Legend, the list goes on forever and the party never ends. I'm certain I'm forgetting a few names. I almost left JR off the rock face solely based on 2005. Limiting to just the 21st Century conveniently allowed me to dismiss TLR part 1 which I was a big fan of.

Not so bold prediction. He's back in Chicago by June 15th.

Agreed. The best lies have to be believable and this is. Most celebrity encounters in my life were very brief and rehearsed. The pro golfers have been the singular exception.

My memory has it the opposite, they fired him but Frank kept working with him. Someone will remember it correctly.

The first player I remember going outside the organization was Frank Thomas. So it's been going on for decades.

Which actually seems kinda crazy. You would think developing a right fielder would be easier.

Let him enjoy the moment a bit longer.
