  1. How many doubles has Cleveland had so far in this series?
  2. Yep, Frank Lane and Chuck Comiskey were the architects of those Go Go years. Those trades of Cash, Battey, Callison, Romano and Mincher by Veeck will live in infamy. Despite those trades, new GM Ed Short after Veeck sold to Arthur Allyn made some great trades and the Sox had their 3 best consecutive years ever in 63, 64 and 65 winning 94, 98 and 95 games those 3 years. I’ve always wondered what would have happened if Dorothy Rigney had sold to her shares to brother Chuck instead of to Veeck. Eventually my guess is Comiskey who wasn’t very wealthy probably would have sold by the time free agency came around.
  3. I went through both of his Sox ownerships and I still have mixed feelings.
  4. Maybe Bill Veeck wasn’t all that popular, quite of few there tonight probably never heard of him.
  5. Here we go again with a for s%*# hit.
  6. I think Venable thought this game was lost and took them out for a rest.
  7. I think he’s OK in left and center but we have centerfield covered with Robert, I’d probably go with Baldwin and Benintendi sharing time in left and DH. M.Taylor should be the 4th outfielder period. We have another problem when Vargas and Meidroth return and that’s what to do with Sosa.
  8. Team hasn’t been the same since blowing that 5-0 game against the Angels.
  9. Guards haven’t hit a ball hard but have 2 run lead.
  10. The Sox will stay in Chicago and because there is no money available for a new stadium they will remain at 35th and Shields. Something has to be done to increase the fan base, it’s a fact that White Sox fans won’t support losing teams so the quickest way to solve the problem is to spend money on quality free agents and start and sustain a culture of winning. The Minor League system must be overhauled starting with finding the best scouts, instructors, coaches and managers available, this is something that Reinsdorf refused to do, he didn’t believe in spending money on potential but he wouldn’t spend money on quality free agents either, that’s why the Sox are on their way to a 3rd straight 100 loss season. It’s also a fact that the White Sox have not had a great manager since Al Lopez and some bad GMs also, this must also be addressed as JR gave us the likes of Jerry Manuel, Robin Ventura, a washed up over the hill Tony LaRussa and the horrible pathetic Pedro Grifol. Right now Ishbia is an unknown but I'm sure he is very smart and has noticed that Reinsdorf is a terrible owner and won’t use the JR model in his ownership of the franchise.
