Someone hasn't driven in Chicagoland in a while, and it shows.

If I happen to be heading home from downtown around game time I intentionally take the Orange Line as to avoid Sox crowds on the Red and Green. Sox fans take transit, news at 11.

Welp, we're boned.

Says the poster who has repeatedly accused me of lying and fabricating evidence of my own lived experience.

I don't know which is more frightening, Getz's decision making or JR/TLR meddling in said decisions.

Can't wait for Manfred to make watching games less accessible.

Half a billion easily, and one ugly luxury tax bill.

Funny, I know what the view from lot C looks like, because I walk by the park from the Red Line regularly. But I do know the first base line at Old Comiskey faced east, and your site lines for views beyond the park wouldn't be great. I mean, who doesn't love a good view of the IIT smokestack. It's also really hard to see the skyline from 34th street, or from Martha's Vineyard for that matter. But I do love a good passive aggressive sub tweet from someone who can't admit they are full of s%*#.

Wrong direction. (If this is a serious post)

No one expected much from El Duke either. Iguchi was a virtual unknown too. It was a magical season where everything broke right more often than not. Finishing 3rd in 2006 with arguably a better team on paper speaks to just how much of an outlier fluke 2005 was.

Seven playoff appearances in 44 years? No series wins in any of those but one? Flags fly forever, but you aren't wrong.

We are in totally agreement re: the second paragraph. MLB won't stop a move, but I doubt they would OK a move without retaining the right to replace the team in Chicago in the future. MLB would be leaving money on the table for a generation without a second team in the third largest market in the country. The White Sox share of the Chicago market is still viable despite what JR claims, and ceding the entire market to the Cubs when their market share wouldn't drastically expand for years is just bad business.

Jordan's ultimate 'f*** you' to Jerry for breaking up the Bulls dynasty would be buying the White Sox, Jerry's first love, and turning it into a perennial contender doing everything Jerry has refused to do for 40 years... #IfOnly

Let me stop you right there.

Tampa had a dome with no team and the Sox had an aging ballpark and were looking for a new home. The circumstances were a little bit different back then. The public appetite for tax-payer funded playgrounds for billionaires is much different today too. Not saying a move is impossible, but the scenarios are very different IMO.

I had to google that... before my time my man...

I did as well. All he could do was exclaim how exciting the team on the field would be while completely avoiding any response to my concerns about the hire.

Expect to get company line responses from them, if you get any response at all.

But Batting Average, Quin, Batting Average!

In a perfect world...

Ok, that makes more sense then.

When Solder Field is right there, a new soccer only stadium at the 78 just doesn't make sense to me. I am not a fan of soccer or football, so what the hell do I know, but it just seems silly.

This to me makes a Stewart lead ownership group feel much more appealing, but reality is another story. I would need a guarantee that no attempts to leave the city of Chicago will be made, and that TLR is put out to pasture. Two variables that seem unlikely.

Exactly. There is no better opportunity for potential growth than right here. It just takes the will to actually do it, which is what Jerry has failed and or refused to do his entire tenure.

Even after 40 years of mismanagement, there is still ample opportunity for growth in Chicago. It is Jerry's greatest failing as White Sox chairman.
