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.

Mostly lefty pitchers. I've never really cared how the players on the MLB roster got there. I guess home grown is nice.

I couldn't read them all. Is this close? Fans "Hey White Sox, you've messed up every player's development over the past ten years" Team "Whoa, not this one. He messed himself up with outside coaches." If I was a pro athlete in today's game. I'd use some of the $millions to assemble the best private training and coaching team I could. The way players get traded, it just makes sense.

I think we're looking at two different aspects. I'm pointing out that looking at hours of operation is just one part of the equation. Total revenue is also important. But, that does make me wonder if Illinois residents are going to contribute to a new stadium*, should it really matter if someone going to the game stops and has dinner in the suburbs, north side, or closer to the park? The money will be spent. Where it is spent with public money involved, might not be that important. *Not advocating for that.

While I agree on most of what you posted, there are a few ways to determine who is a "major employer". Could it be that those 81 days, 83 on a great year, bring in more revenue and contribute more to the local economy than the vape store on the corner? Three people working 364 days might be less that hundreds of people working 81 days. I know, for example, many businesses on South Padre Island make most of their profits in March, June, and July. For me if they move from the southside, go all the way to the suburbs. Don't half ass go to a different neighborhood.

Whoa, you're expecting runners on base? Nice to see a little optimism in the fan base.

And the same number of World Series wins

Perhaps Vaughn could play in the outfield. I was thinking his only shot at a continued career is a change of scenery. Perhaps a different coaching staff could get him closer to his draft projections. A trade for *cash considerations" would be beneficial to everyone.

Unless you want an 'effing ham.

I really feel some empathy for anyone who gets cut from the worst team of all time. That's gotta suck. I also feel bad for anyone who gets traded to the worst team of all time. Even the cash when we get it. I feel like George, Benjamin, and the rest are rolling in their graves.

Circa 2045 - "Grandpa, would you talk to my class about being a baseball player on career day?" "I'd love to. I have a lot of stories about the 2025 White Sox!" /Looks up 2025 White Sox "Could you tell them you were a piano player in a whore house?"

The entire draft was underwhelming. Could it be . . . We really didn't want an offensive innovator as head coach. We wanted basic, do it the conventional way that most every other team would. It's comfortable and the Bear's way of doing business for decades. Two tight ends, one blocking - one receiving. WTF? We don't start trends, we catch up to them five years later. I'm willing to watch and see. I'm not willing to get excited, Chicago sports have killed that for me. But I'm willing to wait until week three to say it's a stupid draft pick.

One day closer to him being fired.

Another great Detroit suburb.

Mongo. RIP. Glad he was alive to be inducted. In
