Lip Man 1

Story has a number of financial details (some of which frankly I don't understand) and of course the spokesperson for the developer makes things sound rosy and bright: https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2024/03/04/white-sox-bears-stadium-south-loop-soldier-field-financing

Well in the spring of 2005 they actually did televise every game as I recall or at the very least the vast majority of them. I don't remember the reason why they decided to do this for that year and apparently only that year.

As much as I appreciate Ozzie's passion and thank him for his services, he's already quit on the team once...that shouldn't be rewarded. Remember on the day JR agreed to let him out of his contract that afternoon he told the media he wouldn't want to return the next season without a raise and an extension. A deal he had agreed to and still had a year to run.

It's the "White Sox way..."

I am...same as this team's ownership. ?

Not gleeful at all just continuing to point out how bass akward this entire organization is. Hell just last week I posted the link to the story that said they were finally adding people to conduct areas like sleep and nutrition schedules which other clubs have been doing for years already. There is light at the end of the tunnel though, sooner or later new ownership will arrive on the scene and the Sox can finally move into the 21st century.

2026 is the best case philosophy.

Another day, another desultory loss. Corpseball will be the go-to phrase describing the team this year.

But they work cheap which JR mandates!

As a Sox fan I'd take what the Dodgers have done the last decade in a heartbeat and twice on Sunday. Can't win the World Series if you never get there as the Sox have found out.

The captain of the Titanic was optimistic too..."But it's just a small iceberg! Nothing to worry about..." ?

Literally can't wait until he's fired. Sox will make some type of excuse for letting him go once again trying to shield their incompetence.

Opening day: Bad August 1: Worse

????? They've already got seven pitchers, seven having injury issues and you think this team is going to stay healthy???????????????????????

This is how we do things...we lose and lose and lose.

Make that seven Sox pitchers already having injury-issues ? First class training, conditioning medical staff right there friends!

This team/organization is laughably bad.

I'm assuming you are saying these predictions to get a reaction since you seem like an intelligent individual and realize the complete, utter mess this franchise is in on and off the field. I'd be thrilled if they broke 70 wins but can't see it happening especially after they trade guys come July.

Fanatics say: It's not our fault... https://chicago.suntimes.com/mlb/2024/03/01/fanatics-founder-says-company-doesnt-deserve-blame-for-new-mlb-uniforms https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlbs-new-uniforms-fanatics-founder-michael-rubin-reacts-to-backlash-as-mlbpa-still-concerned/

Well it's not like we haven't seen bad relief pitching and a key error before with this organization the past few years.
