QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 24, 2017 -> 10:26 PM) There is this history of those in the entertainment industry that go political have ended a career and keep spewing nonsense just to let you know they exist. Keith Olbermann, to his credit, always kept his political views on the down low when he hosted SC. Oprah stayed out of politics for the first 15-20 years of her show as she built her empire. It's no coincidence that her ratings went straight down the crapper as soon as she went all in for Obama. Johnny Carson used to advise entertainers to not go partisan, because once you do you risk alienating half of your audience.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 6, 2017 -> 10:28 AM) Only listened because I was curious, but I actually enjoyed Mac's first podcast. He just rants for 40 minutes but I'll keep listening. He'll have guests and stuff on. I kind of like a Chicago sports show that is less than an hour long. I've heard mixed reviews. I don't podcast, but maybe I should start... I need my Mac fix. QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 03:21 PM) Linda Cohn says ESPN has gotten too political. She was suspended. She's right. For many people, sports and politics are like oil and water. ESPN is losing viewers in droves, and they're too STUPID to figure out why. I haven't watched SportsCenter (or ANY non-sporting event on that network) in over 20 years.

Gooch was one of my favorite players on the `05 team. He was constantly hitting weak ground balls to the right side of the infield to advance a baserunner from Second to Third. For that reason, Ozzie thought he was that team's MVP. I'd love to see him coaching here, but I'm sure there's a language issue.

Any updates on Matt Cooper?

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 03:29 PM) he'll probably have a few clunkers here and there He's a 23 year-old rookie. There WILL be bumps in the road. But I REALLY like what I've seen so far.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 04:11 PM) When your wins include a gem from your future frontline starter With the depth we have at SP (Rodon, Kopech, Hansen, Gio, ReyLo, Dunning), I'm guessing Lucas will eventually be a #4 or #5 starter. That's scary, isn't it?

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 08:10 PM) Lots of aggressive promotions to close the year. This is a real surprise to me. Hansen got a similar end-of-year promotion last year.

Former Sox and Bears broadcaster Joe McConnell was elected to the Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame earlier this month. McConnell

I was wondering, how much money is in podcasting? I don't think Mac will be getting the six figure salary he got from ESPN and The SCORE, but it's still a paycheck.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 07:47 PM) No reason for Alec to be in WS anymore. +1

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 06:06 PM) Thanks for posting! Would love to see the same thing for the 2014 & 2015 classes as well. Overall, pretty dissapointmented with Paddy's work to date. The only guys who have graduated to full season ball so far have dissapointed (Cruz, Rodriguez, Martinez, Solorzano) other than Tatis. I guess maybe that's not entirely Paddy's fault, as it could be player development related to some degree, but the results out of LatAm have generally been pretty poor IMO. Not necessarily "full season" yet, but Jhoandro Alfaro hasn't done much yet.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 09:38 AM) Dan Hayes @CSNHayes Eloy Jimenez and Zack Collins are both being promoted from Double-A Birmingham from Single-A Winston-Salem. #WhiteSox Who will take their place on the W-S roster?

Possible closer candidate? I'm intrigued.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 9, 2017 -> 10:39 AM) Mac starting a podcast. How long do we give it? Radio Misfits

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 6, 2017 -> 03:39 PM) Not a good Guerrero start Solorzano got rocked too.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 07:34 PM) Giolito probably done for the night, but very nice start all things considered. It sure is nice when good Lucas shows up.

QUOTE (Soha @ Jul 29, 2017 -> 03:27 PM) I agreed with JR. They weren't catching the Indians. If I'm not mistaken, that team actually had a slightly higher winning percentage AFTER that trade than they did before it. Those were three Free Agents-to-be, and the only player I really hated to see leave was Roberto Hernandez. He was a good closer, but he wasn't irreplaceable (Keith Foulke was an EXCELLENT replacement). Wilson Alvarez was past his prime (and not worth what the Rays ultimately paid him) Danny Darwin RETIRED after the 1997 season. It wasn't a great trade, but I liked it then, and I STILL like it.

Glad to see Adolfo back in the lineup. I got a little worried when he left yesterday's game after 2 at bats.

DSL... Josue Guerrero now hitting .191 after an 0-4 (3 Ks) Ramon Beltre had 3 hits Ulises Martinez and Jorgen Rosas had 2 hits each Craig Dedelow 3-7 1HR 2RBI for GF.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 17, 2017 -> 02:28 PM) Sad news on Cooper, hope he is getting whatever he needs at home. +1 His last few starts were so disastrous, I had a feeling it was more than just a dead arm. I wish him the best.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 09:00 AM) Interesting debate between Leury, Engel, Rymer Liriano (based on last month), Willy and Delmonico (perhaps)... If Frazier gets traded, Davidson will shift to Third, and Delmonico will be the new DH. If Frazier doesn't get traded, we won't see Delmonico until September. JMHO

I noticed last night that Sam Dexter is now in Winston-Salem. Dude's on his third team in a month. 1 game @ Great Falls 10 games @ Kanny 2 games @ W-S

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 07:14 PM) At this point I've completely lost faith in him as a starter. I was thinking about what the rotation might look like in 2020... - Rodon - Kopech - Hansen - Dunning - Lopez - Giolito - Fulmer - Danish - Somebody in the organization who could emerge (like Matt Cooper or Spencer Adams) - Somebody we've never heard of In other words, it won't be the end of the world if Fulmer ends up being a reliever.

Another homer for Adolfo.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ May 23, 2017 -> 09:45 PM) Anybody else friends with Danny Mac on Facebook? He will accept almost anyone's request. Anyway he was at a wedding somewhere recently and he, Jurko and Harry took a photo together. ESPN 1000 has been horrible since they broke up. Really miss that show. Mac has recently mentioned the idea of a MJH Podcast. MJH Podcast?
