Let us all remember and refer to this thread title the next time our Score producer friend wants attention on twitter.

That’s 80 grade baseball name and 80 grade cartoon villain name. That’s just outstanding work.

Name a team with all of these slow lumbering oaf DH types that actually won anything. I’ll hang up and listen.

I have been known to eat the sport peppers.

Ha! Well I hate to break it to you but I don’t know jack shit beyond reading the tea leaves. I wish the prognostication were true of course.

Though I hope he lands in KC or Detroit so we get to enjoy him getting lit up a little longer.

When you can’t cut it with a shitty AZ team, yeah, it’s time.

Ketchup doesn’t go on a Chicago style hot dog. If you like ketchup on a hot dog, 100% your prerogative, just don’t call it a Chicago dog. It’s that simple. Ketchup nazis can fuck off into the sun.

Of course he did

Its a large gamble that Soto + whatever is left + whatever they can add = gets you to the promised land. It's going all in on the next 2 years knowing full well that he'll walk and the org will be looking at a restart of some sort.

Quantrill vs Gilolito

A calculated risk, but one that should have been taken. Draft pick or Rodon for another year is better than letting him walk for absolutely nothing.

Yes

Not saying they won’t win the game or the series, but I don’t expect them to come out playing with a purpose first game back.

I expect them on Friday at home when they lay an egg in the 1st inning against Cleveland.

It’s Cease hands down. The potential was always there but maddening inconsistency always begged the question if he would figure it out. I certainly had my doubts. He has put it all together in the first half and it’s a bloody shame he’s not in LA this weekend being given the accolades he deserves. He’s the ace of the staff going forward as far as I’m concerned. Abreu deserves mention for carrying this bum squad the way he does. Vaughn and Robert also deserve attention, and if the Sox go on a run it will be those three leading the way offensively. Gotta give props to Cueto too for being stellar when we really didn’t know what he had left. Definite stabilizing presence in a shaky at times rotation. Wish he were 5 years younger and could stick around for a while.

And as SS2K has already said, the Sox lease isn’t up for another decade+, so it’s completely moot.

JR could invest around Sox Park. He always could. He doesn’t want to. Same with the United Center. He’s content raking in parking dollars in his sweetheart stadium lease deal. The threat of the Sox leaving any time soon is non-existent. The Bears bailing on the city because the city won’t cater to them with tax dollars/breaks has absolutely nothing to do with the White Sox. There is zero connection there. The Bears moving to the burbs was of their own volition.

I still hate that dude’s douche face.

?????????????

It would take an owner willing to invest in the immediate neighbourhood, some greasing of the Alderman / Mayor / politicos, and possibly some zoning changes, but I see zero reason why it couldn’t be done. The lots sit empty 99% of the time on non-game days and it’s a waste of prime real estate.

Yes, we should all be very concerned with what the crackpot multiple time failed mayoral candidate Willie Wilson has to say.

Someone’s personal obsession.

It is hardly inevitable. The Bears weren’t driven from the city, they made a choice. Sox best move is NOT the suburbs. Baseball’s stadium renaissance started with new downtown stadiums. ATL is the only one I can think of in 30 years that moved to the burbs, and there were other factors involved. There isn’t a better spot of land on which to build in the city with infrastructure, multiple transit options, and easy expressway access already in place than the empty lots surrounding current Sox Park. Anywhere else near south or near west has logistical problems on top of continually escalating property costs. Unless a new multibillionaire owner wants to spend gobs of their own money, the Sox aren’t going anywhere.
