I don't think we would have won in 2005 without Cooper, I will always appreciate what he did for this franchise. I do think its time for a change and the game has passed Cooper on. I used to like to listen to him at Cork & Kerry on Western in Beverly at his Sunday night shows. He was lots fun on commercial breaks where he would be more open with his comments. The man would drain a full Miller Lite bottle in one swallow during a commercial break, now that is talent!!

Poor bullpen management buried Ricky earlier. Should have not started Dunning if the leash was that short. Walking a bench player to load the bases for Foster was a ridiculously stupid move

9-23 Game Thread: Sox @ Cleveland (5:10 PM)
palehose1 replied to SoxBlanco's topic in 2020 Season in Review
I don't thinks its a lack of caring, I think a lot of guys are pressing like Robert, EE and TA. Even though its "Justin" Bieber on the mound for Cleveland I truly believe we will win tonight -
2020 has been a shit year UNTIL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! B

The tangibles (statistics) are obvious, Tim is one of the best all around shortstops in baseball. I love the intangibles just as much. He is energetic and displays strong leadership skills. He inspires his teammates. We have some of the best leadership examples on the South Side than I have seen in a long time- Anderson, Abreu and McCAnn. Hard to measure but you know it when you see it.

Time to pull out the Ray Rayner White Sox/Cubs Helmet
palehose1 replied to South Side Hit Men's topic in Pale Hose Talk
i rooted for the Indians in 2016 vs cubs as there was no direct impact on the Sox. Tonight I will root for the Indians to lose because it helps the Sox. I, like most Sox fans, know a few knowledgeable Cub fans and we trade friendly barbs... but growing up on the SW side of Chicago, living in the SW burbs but working up North I have had my fill of most Cub fans. They will will not get past the Padres or Dodgers this year and then its time for another rebuild or another retool for them. -
lineups in for tonight McCann catching, Engel right field - Mazara and EE on bench. Yas is DH Good start

Time to pull out the Ray Rayner White Sox/Cubs Helmet

Time to move on from Mazara who has had over 40 games to establish himself. I wish we had a viable lefty option for RF but I'll take a fundamentally sound player like Engel over what we have be watching. Mazara was walking toward the bench last night on a caught looking strikeout before the ball reached the catchers mitt.

Sox playoff chances sit at 100%, 3rd in AL for WS odds
palehose1 replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I know its a small consideration but I wish the AL played in Texas and not CA. Less adjustment for the White Sox, better time zone for Sox fans, better history playing in Texas vs CA. -
8/12 Game Thread Sox@ Detroit finale noon start
palehose1 replied to southsider2k5's topic in 2020 Season in Review
Moncada not in lineup- looked gimpy last night, hopefully nothing serious -
To me, it is more about getting Delmonico out of the line up and pushing Leury more to the outfield

Anyone Remember Much about the 2000 White Sox?
palehose1 replied to Soxsi75's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I remember the slogan for 1999 and into the 2000 season was "The Kids can Play". The 2000 season was a surprising, fun team to watch after the disappointing seasons of 1994 (strike) through 1999. All the young talent started to come together- Carlos Lee, Magglio, Chris Singleton, Konerko, Buehrle, etc. Some of that group would comprise the core of the 2005 Championship team Frank Thomas had an MVP season but was robbed of the award by steroid boy Giambi. I also remember Lou Pinella, Seattle Manager, absolutely schooling Jerry Manuel in the playoffs. It was like a man fighting a boy. -
Little Looie, turns 86 today, the last living starter from the 1959 World Series team. Only a few role players are left like Lou Skizas & J.C. Martin who both had a cup of coffee with the 59 Sox. Luis was the first baseball player I met, along with Pete Ward in the summer of 1969 when they showed up to sign autographs at the store behind my house on the Southwest Side. As a 7 year old that was when I became a White Sox fan for life. Best of health to you Luis, one of the Sox (and baseball's) best.

That Tigers team was a pile of garbage both in talent as well as character. Robert Fick, Bobby Higginson, cheap shot Juan Samuel (coach). The only good thing was that we would consistently beat them.
-
This is as good as it gets. The Sox are World Series Champions, and Chicago: Go crazy!" RIP Ed,
-
He certainly fulfilled a dream- a kid from the South Side of Chicago pitching for the White Sox, making an All Star game and then being a Sox broadcaster for 30 years.
-
I listen to the games on the radio a lot, he will be missed Coincidentally Bill Melton recently had a 5 hour open heart surgery; he has now caught pneumonia, wishing a speedy recovery for old Beltin Bill

Opening day is my favorite day of the year. Started going in college and have made every one since 1984 (yes I am old). My season ticket rep just called me and said to expect an email from mlb/ White Sox in the next few days. I pressed him for more info and he said mlb / owners have a meeting (I assume conf call) this weekend to discuss next steps. I hope that they have a target date in mid to start the 2020 season but since COVID cases are still rising I'm not sure how they can reasonably do that. Until then I continue to watch the rebroadcast Sox games on Comcast sports as well as Youtube..

One of my close friends birthday is March 26 so we bought 6 lower deck box tickets by first base at 89$ each- with taxes they were $616 in total. More than we wanted to spend but outfield (sec 103) was $79 each plus taxes and fees so we went for the better seats...... The Sox do hold some seats back for season ticket packages and will release them to the public about a week before the game...

Reminiscing about 2005 Sox team and record that will never be broken
palehose1 replied to VAfan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Its funny I spent part of the weekend watching 2005 White Sox videos on Youtube- there's some good stuff out there, I need a baseball fix. To me (and many others), PK's grand slam was the greatest moment in White Sox history. I think El Duque's bases loaded no outs inning vs. the Bosox was right up there with Scotty's game winning home run, Blum's home run, Crede's double to win the Angels game after AJ's "passed ball" and Uribe's grab in the stands during the game 4 9th inning. 2005, what an experience. -
Today's presale requires your season ticket account number as the code so if you don't have one I think you are out of luck. Prices have really gone up for the big games. For example, for opening day a reserved seat in the outfield (section 103) was $79 plus fees and taxes so the ticket is a little over $100 each! I think they used to include the taxes in the base price- now they add them on so in essence the Sox got an additional price increase. My regular season tickets also went up 8 to 10% from last year. Hope it translates to victories....
-
Id bet on the multiplayer deal with the Bosox. Price packaged with Benintendi or Bradley.
-
actually it is an increase of about 8% because we only get 80 games not 81 (Field of Dreams game is an MLB event)

Sox are going to use the script "White Sox" in black and silver on the chest of the alternative uniforms. Looks similar to the script logo the Sox wore in 1987-1990 when they used blue and red. http://www.transformmagazine.net/articles/2019/new-white-sox-logo-goes-the-distance/ Seems OK. I like the sleeveless vests on occasion, wish that was still an option....
