Not giving away tax dollars to billionaires and huge corporations sounds great until giant corporations start moving across state lines for a better business climate. Tesla and Space X aren't in Texas for the great weather. Amazon was courted by multiple states. But in those cases we are talking thousands of full time jobs with salaries that get spent in the local economy. Now pivoting that to stadiums and I just don't see the economic drivers on the same scale. Eventually we will be watching AI created athletes while wearing VR headsets and "home team" won't matter.

That brings back some memories. Good times. RIP

It's been fun in San Antonio watching this team take over the city. I hope MLB is watching when expansion comes around again.

Welcome to the big leagues, oops, I mean the Sox. And no tips over 15%

I'm finally feeling like a Sox fan again. That was a weird stretch of hope and optimism.

It highlights how razor thin the line of success is at this level.

Fun fact, one of the only players in history to start in four consecutive season openers at four different positions.

I sold a lot of parts that went into those boxes and back then didn't give it a second thought.

In crypto.

While the Dodgers are passing Go and collecting $2,000,000

I was in the electronics component industry and those black boxes were ubiquitous. So many family members had season tickets it really didn't matter but in a small way it was a source of pride how we suffered. They were a couple decades ahead of their time, which is kind of amazing. But way too early.

If he didn't fans would complain that he doesn't know what's going on with his players. I think we understand the difference between comments from the player, the manager, a trainer, a doctor who is treating him, and a doctor who isn't.

Cash or a Walmart gift card?

I was joking. When @southsider2k5 mentioned guys getting figured out I thought we needed the poster child. Great analysis of the differences.

Who has loved this organization? I totally believe he will love Chicago.

Chicago or the White Sox organization? Unless the team wants to accept a no trade clause he knows he could be traded anywhere at anytime, so loving the city (likely) or loving the organization (😂) doesn't really factor much.

Why would he want to sign an extension? I thought the PR disaster you were going to predict is he gets traded at the deadline for an underwhelming group of young, unproven, talent.

If the upgrade isn't achieved by selling 2028 for a first round exit and the start of yet another rebuild.

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.

Making a sporting event entertaining enough to watch even if the teams aren't good.

We knew they would be bad but at least moving forward in the right direction. This is a regression.

Amen

White Sox pitching is now getting hit on more than a drunk sorority sister on spring break.

There had to be a couple local guys in slo pitch 16" that could help and fit in the budget.
