Chicago White Sox

Grifol going to have Crochet throw 100 pitches right out the gate

No doubt Hahn had his PR machine, but Kim Ng also confirmed it

Don’t disagree, but hard to dislike Hahn’s deadline deals. Very out of character for him in terms of quality.

That was KW…Hahn probably had his best one week stretch as GM of the White Sox leading up to last year’s deadline.

I really can’t stand how the broadcast team is going to push Maldonado down our throats, almost feels insulting to the fanbase to think we can’t tell he’s over the hill.

DeJong already in mid season form

Please stop showing Grifol speaking on these broadcasts…thanks

Grifol’s boys run HARD!?!

K

f*** a Tiger!

Only one K for Moncada, but he’ll definitely have a sac bunt during the middle of the game that doesn’t result in a run being scored. Zero chance Eloy gets hurt today.

Game starts at 3:10 CST?

Seems like those of you attending should have a decent day weather wise for Chicago in March. I still have nightmares from the last Opening Day I attended that was delayed for several hours and then ultimately cancelled despite the Sox doing the stupid pre-game Chevy bullshit.

I don’t feel smarter than anyone and I don’t need experience to say what I’m saying. I just don’t understand how you refuse to acknowledge that Jerry Reinsdorf literally bussed his 90 year old ass to Springfield to campaign for the 78 site. Like now I think you’re simply trolling again. That being said, I would have happily bought you a beer and discussed further in person tomorrow, but unfortunately have kids spring break this week and am currently out of state.

Is this roster on paper better or worse than the 2018 White Sox? I am legit having a hard time deciding.

What happened to Simas?

You mean when they won? Yeah, maybe some of those were annoying, but you don’t need to get rid of Sox Math altogether as a result.

Does that mean Cannon is in AAA?

Why do people hate Sox Math? I get the jingle as it was legit cringe, but not sure how Sox Math actually impacts anyone who has no interest in partaking.

I moved back to Chicago ? But I personally don’t see much of a burden for Chicago & Illinois taxpayers. I don’t think a few % point of taxes on hotels has much meaning on travel considerations for tourists or conventioners for that matter. And subsidizing property taxes for major sports organizations that provide the area with jobs and other forms of tax revenue doesn’t seem that unreasonable to me. Honestly, I don’t think the state funding these stadiums via a hotel tax has any noticeable impact on the quality of any of our lives. But it would provide us with two much better stadiums / areas to watch and experience Chicago sports in for generations to come. To me, funding these are a no-brainer if they can agree to terms that are a bit more friendly to Illinois taxpayers than the past ones (for example, no free rent when attendance sucks). I’m less concerned about the billionaires receiving handouts because frankly that’s the status quo and I’m not drawing the line with my franchise.

I honestly don’t mean to be a dick, but please take a break from this website and discuss this subject with some real life people. You are struggling to accept the reality of this situation and now are just continually repeating your own made up narrative to appease your personal desires. Jerry Reinsdorf 100% wants to relocate to the south loop full stop…that was confirmed when he went to Springfield to make his case and when the team’s PR people started discussing their plans publicly. I do apologize for the hostility of my past interactions on this subject because I assumed you were just trolling, but at this point it seems like your inability to grasp the situation stems from something much deeper rooted and will require help from non SoxTalk posters to overcome.

Does the majority of hotel taxes get paid by Chicago & Illinois taxpayers?

Bold predictions: Crochet pitchers three innings of scoreless ball Five relievers are used to complete the game Shaw is one of those relievers and gives up three runs Hill also gives up a run, but the other three are perfect Offense only scores one run on a Robert solo shot A base-running gaffe kills our best shot at a rally The defense makes a handful of nice plays Pedro says something really stupid during the post game

What in the world are you talking about? Your need to constantly carry water for this org has you spitting more word vomit than Pedro Grifol.
