The White Sox, amidst the early stages of a rebuild, don’t have a top 100 player? You don’t say. This should not be a surprise to anyone, nor is it particularly newsworthy. Certainly not deserving of its own thread, except for those amongst us addicted to starting pointless threads…

New lipstick, same pig. New ownership, operating like a big market team, and winning will do far more to wash JR’s stain away than any rebrand would.

Kids pajamas look more professional 🤦🏽‍♀️

I have a certain bias because I live down the street from the park, and see the acres of empty space regularly during the 280ish days out of the year when the Sox aren’t playing. The sheer volume of cars that flood arterial streets before and after games also make getting around a giant pain in the ass. Anything would be better than empty lots on off days and traffic jams on game days IMO.

Totally agree. The lower bowl is great, and generally I have no qualms with it beyond the sea of parking lots that sit empty 99% of the time when there aren’t Sox games. It’s not very unique or idiosyncratic the way parks build after tend to be, and that’s where I think opinions outside of Sox fandom start to trend more negative when comparing it to this newer parks. Sadly, it is a fairly cookie cutter design meant for a suburban locale with little though put towards integrating it with the surrounding neighborhood, made more glaring with the immediate trend set off by Camden and subsequent “retro” downtown ballparks that followed.

The view from Roosevelt is hard to beat, but it’s not like the skyline view from 35th is non-existent. Dude is just arguing for the sake of it.

Your point being what? Any skyline view would be better than zero skyline view.

There isn’t a whole lot to look at behind those towering signs, which is half the problem. If the stadium were oriented properly, you might get a great view of the skyline when you walk the OF concourse.

The only rebrand necessary is of the org and it’s reputation, which is more rehabilitation than anything. The current uniforms are perfect, with the only needed tweak being the return of the diamond sock. Add a 1959 or 1917 Sunday alternate and we are golden.

If they play .500 ball down the stretch that should be considered a win. Coughing up 5 run leads doesn’t inspire that sort of confidence though. 70 wins feels like a stretch as well.

Luis Arraez has all of 12 K's on the season. Yes, 12 whole strikeouts in 421 AB's. He also has the best contact rate in the Majors at around 95%. He doesnt walk a ton because he makes such ridiculous contact. Meanwhile Meidroth has 47 K in 310. Maybe chill comparing your boy to a 3 time batting champion.

Possibly, but Bob was laundering info for Jerry before Tony came back. He was the one who floated that TLR could return in the first place.

Seems many of us are in good company!

Jerry's mouthpiece taking shots at Jerry's pet?

There's your backup C that doesnt need playing time, Getzy...

Not sure this is the endorsement Getzy thinks it is...

.

Correa still has 3 years and 95ish million left after this year. Even kicking in $30M wasn’t enough to return anyone of note.

I still have a hard time seeing JR ok the $20M expenditure after Robert’s past two seasons.

Cool, maybe sign some guys worth a damn at next year’s deadline.

I’ll say it again, firing Getz doesn’t solve anything, but that doesn’t make him any less deserving.

Funny that Tauchman and all of the relievers are still here.

Getz is a hell of a poker player.😆

Cool. But he's been doo doo with the Rays.

Curtis Mead, 24 y/o 0.5 WAR utility guy. Whoopty Fucking Doo.
