  1. From Saturday's Sun-Times: But the joy can bring struggle, as Sox fans have learned all too well after a promising contention window featuring Tim Anderson, Yoan Moncada, Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert Jr. crashed and burned. And this time around, the Sox’ highest profile hopes are still figuring it out. The team’s top-ranked prospect, left-handed Naperville native Noah Schultz, gave up six runs on eight hits and a walk in his 5 1/3 -inning debut at Charlotte on Thursday. And a roller-coaster season for prized shortstop prospect Colson Montgomery has taken another dip as he’s batted .176 this month at Charlotte after a promising rebound from an early season slump that prompted Sox brass to yank him from the daily grind and work on his swing in Arizona.
  2. That's true Rich and Les did post on it as did the Tribune sports editor Dan McGrath who incurred the wrath of many Sox posters at the site.
  3. I've been called a lot worse by better individuals so your words bother me not an iota. I don't hate JR, have met him twice, we've exchanged nice letters. I hate what he has done to this franchise. Regarding my profession I can separate my duties and responsibilities in those areas with my fandom. They aren't connected.
  4. As incompetent as this organization appears to be in all areas, it wouldn't totally shock me to read a bunch of other pitchers having serious health issues.
  5. Bill never hired Nancy. Stu Holcomb did it before the start of the 1970 season after hearing her play at a social event.
  6. And they are still one of the best teams in baseball...must be nice. If Varland, Perez and Martin all eventually go under the surgeons knife that will make a total of nine White Sox pitchers having TJS since this spring. Wow.
  7. I would hope that would happen but I'd be very surprised if it took place. Was told by a high ranking front office employee that the Sox think Schriffen and Stone have never sounded better and are working together very well. This person also said they thought the Sox have the best broadcasting team in baseball on the all-access Friday night telecasts. They were also very enthused about what McKnight and the female reporter (sorry I don't remember her name) are doing and contributing.
  8. Exactly...incompetent, dysfunctional and inept from top to bottom.
  9. That's true they did along with Sox published authors like Rich Lindberg and Dan Helpingstein.
  10. Both are correct at least from what I have been told Wintrust did supposedly offer more money but did want the Comiskey name associated with it and JR said no. I was also told that an individual (I was given the name but won't repeat it) had a conflict of interest with a relative holding a high ranking position at the Guaranteed Rate Company and the Sox person didn't include all that info to JR.
  11. Would be pretty funny if he testified to something that was shown to be false later on.
  12. From 1990 through 2006 they had 12 winning seasons, four losing ones and a .500 year. Since then? Among the worst in MLB.
  13. Sox moved to WSNS-TV channel 44 starting in the 1973 season. “If you want people to come, you can’t give the product away. That’s the way it’s been done everywhere else except Chicago for years. The best organizations, the ones that draw the most people at the gate, don’t go that way. They have limited TV.” - Eddie Einhorn to Bob Logan in the book, "Miracle on 35th Street, The Story of the 1983 Chicago White Sox."
