Fire Chris Getz
Has JR made any public appearances? Maybe he's incapacitated and that's how these clowns are keeping their jobs. I am so tired of saying it can't get any worse and they take it as a challenge.

3/30 Game thread. Sox at Marlins 5:40 CDT
There had to be a couple local guys in slo pitch 16" that could help and fit in the budget.

If we could harness the suck of the bullpen it would revolutionize the energy industry.

We don't have to, is just a little extra bonus that the team likes to give the hard core fans.

Sox at Brewers 3/29, 1:10 CT
Halfway through this decade and they have close to 500 loses. 2020 was a shortened season. They could have a 1,000 loss decade. 800 seems reasonable and 900 achievable. Thank you Sox ownership and management.

I'm confused. How can the Sox have a higher score than the other team?

3/26 Opening Day: Sox@Brewers, Smith vs Misiorowski, 1:05 CHSN
This is very disappointing for folks that have Milwaukee in a 13 run pool

Official NBA 25-26 Thread
I just read Zach Harper's column in the Athletic about a great way to run the NBA draft. The worst team from the year before picks the team whose draft spot they want for next season and they can't pick themselves. It seems like it would eliminate tanking as a draft tool. Unless two teams conspired to pick each other and both tank. The Wizards select in the first round the Nets as the team they want.

Happy 90th birthday to Mr. Jerry Reinsdorf
He's lived a great life. Not many people can boast of owning a World Series winning team and NBA championships. Happy Birthday.

2026 NFL off season thread
And the league definitely wants to expand globally so I imagine eventually there will be teams there. Imagine playoffs of the European, North American, Asian, and Middle East champions. It would be nice if every business just wanted to improve the communities, paid livable wages, and were loyal. But that's too much like socialism or communism. Instead it's all about profits. Eventually leagues will run out of communities willing to give them benefits for their economic contributions, but I doubt that will be in my life time and probably not yours.

No, owning a sports franchise should be a money losing venture solely for the benefit of fans in the area. (I wish we still had green) It's not just sports team that receive breaks like this. The state of Texas gave billions to have Tesla and Toyota relocate here. On a smaller scale most towns have economic development agencies whose job it is to lure business with a favorable deal. Indiana can be the New Jersey of the Midwest.

Let's go go White Sox
The team should be more interesting and entertaining and not in the watch how many different ways we can lose way.

Jesse Jackson. A link all the way back. I remember during his presidential campaigns discussing the problem of American companies moving manufacturing jobs to lower income countries before anyone else was talking about it. While born in California he based his operations in Chicago and was a Chicago guy. RIP

The best White Sox dick of all time. Although a long ago poster would have said Albert Bell.

The systemic problems seem woven into the DNA of the team going back over a century, through multiple owners on down

LUIS ROBERT TRADED
Putting this in the most favorable light I can think of. There may be some roster moves that he can't get involved with in the most intimate details. Maybe he really needs to pay attention to 25% of them. I didn't believe that is true, but trying to find the best light. This would have to be one of the most important. This isn't like he's filling a AA roster move. He's moving one of the few mlb caliber players on the roster.

Watching a basketball game all all of a sudden the "Big Game" half time show comes on. That would be awful.
