Sean Burke Opening Day Starter
I need to see more out of Burke than 19 garbage time innings at the end of a miserable season. He had a 5.05 ERA across his minor league career. I hope he's as great as everyone is leading on, im not buying it currently.

The Athletic Hope meter
I don't understand it because its still my favorite team and im going to watch the games. Im in Houston, so the only time I get to see the White Sox live is when they come down here for 3-4 games once a year. That doesn't mean I would have an 81 game season ticket plan if I lived in Chicago, but I would still go to games when they suck because its just enjoyable going to a major league game. I also have kids who like going, and I couldn't imagine saying "Sorry, my team sucks so you don't get to go". I understand that doesn't apply to everyone though.

No, I love the White Sox. You're right, they suck and its embarrassing to admit that's my team at times but it is what it is, they'll be good again eventually.

Yeah I don't get the im not going or watching crowd. Especially the people lucky enough to live close enough to get to go to the games of their favorite team. I watch damn near every game because I just love baseball. Would it be nice if they were good? Of course.

I think best case scenario is they only lose 110 games. Worst case, they break their own record. I lean towards worst case as of today.

How's that Organizational Pitching Philosophy Coming Along?
I have a 13 year old on my little league team this season that's throwing 71-73. I believe our field is 50-70 so its tough on a lot of these kids to even have a chance if he's throwing around the plate. Sadly, my skeleton-esque bodied 13 year old is only throwing like 55.

24-25 NFL Thread
Well see what happens in 2025, the dude had 482 touches last season. That's typically ominous of a decline inbound, which was going to happen anyways based off the historical season he just had, but those kind of workloads usually don't end well in todays game.

White Sox asking for "top prospects" for Robert
Pedro Grifol was a first time manager doing what he was told. And if the front office allowed him to do that for 75% of the worst season in franchise/baseball history before firing him then they are as incompetent as we all figured they were anyways.

White Sox asking for "top prospects" for Robert
There is plenty of things to watch this season, there are numerous intriguing young pitchers and position players to be excited about that will either break camp or be with the team shortly after. There is literally zero reason to keep Robert provided he rebuilds his value and we can get a nice return for him.

24-25 NFL Thread
With almost surely 2 quarterbacks going before the Bears pick, they are going to have a nice pool of players available to them if they stay at 10. Especially in the Edge and Tackle area.

24-25 NFL Thread
I would be ok with an elite LT prospect provided you're near the top of the draft and those other positions are either filled or the scouts don't feel the ones available meet the criteria laid out. I always think back to when the Dolphins passed on Matt Ryan to take Jake Long with the 1st pick in the draft. Or when they passed on Aaron Rodgers to take Ronnie Brown. Just stupid decisions. The Eagles have arguably the best line in the league, and they have a 7th Round Pick (All Pro), two 2nd Round Picks, and 2 First Round picks. Of the two first round picks, one of them they drafted in 2013 (All Pro) and they other was a Jets bust they signed as a free agent and moved to guard.

Im in the never take RB in the first round camp. Short shelf lives, just a waste of a premium pick. If I was a GM, these are the only positions I would even consider in Round 1 Franchise Quarterback Elite Wide Receiver Defensive End / Linebacker if they are of the pass rush variety Shut Down Cornerback That's it. These are the difference maker positions.

3/3 Sox vs. Sacramento
Fun fact, if his 2024 was on the White Sox he would have been the worst player on the team by a large margin. -2.0 bWAR, next closest would have been Maldonado at -1.3
