The Mighty Mite

So what has happened since Jerkdorf said that he’s was open to selling the Club, have there been any offers?

You’re right but the White Sox have been a big part of my life, the last 2 years have been horrible and this year will be horrible also, just can’t get myself to laugh about it. Depression is probably the wrong word, what is right is utter detest for Reinsdorf and what he has done to the franchise. I turn 79 on Wednesday and am in pretty good shape but who knows if I will be around to see the Sox as World Series contenders again, with Reinsdorf still running things I’m not holding my breath.

I don’t remember that either, after Addison turned the Sox down, Governor Thompson, Mayor Washington and the State of Illinois agreed to build the new stadium but only where it is right now. Back in the 1960s Mayor Richard J. Daley and Arthur Allyn talked about a Sports Complex with a new Sox stadium, a new Bears stadium and a new Blackhawks arena in the “78”. Bears wanted nothing to do with it and that was that.

You’d earn a Purple Heart.

If I were still living up there I would be at the point that they would have to pay me to attend a game. The whole scenario of 27 games for 125 bucks is actually embarrassing as they are just about giving away the product, has any other MLB team done something like this? This is the most depressed I’ve been since I became a Sox fan in 1952.

I won’t be surprised if less than 30K show up for the opener.

Robert should look at the career of Ernie Banks who is turning in his grave looking at Robert who is throwing his career away. Banks in his first 13 years with the Flubs played on losing teams but maintained a great attitude while winning 2 MVP awards.

Maybe, but the most reprehensible person in sports is still the owner and the GM is still way in over his head. There isn’t one player that I can really get excited about. Bright side is the manager might be pretty good, my guess is they improve 10 games and finish 51-111 and for the first time in team history lose 100 or more games 3 years in a row.

Duh.

Jerry Reinsdorf who is the worst owner in pro sports has turned the White Sox into an irrelevant laughing stock and if he has just an ounce of shame in him must sell the team. On another note has Chicago ever experienced such horrible seasons by their professional teams, the Sox, Blackhawks and Bears are all just about the worst teams in their respective leagues with the Bulls mediocre, in 2024 the Cubs were the only team that had a winning record. I remember things pretty bad in the 1970s but not this bad.

Probably damn proud of it.

Just a crime for a big market club.

Agree, Getz and Reinsdorf haven’t done a damn thing to improve the team from last year’s disaster, if they trade Benintendi and Robert this will be the lowest payroll in MLB and quite possibly the lowest in recent memory. .

This is surprising, the Rays front office is smarter than this. If he does make it to the big club, he better hustle, Kevin Cash won’t put up with the Eloy we have witnessed the last few years.

You hit the nail right on the head, another 41-121 season is more than a possibility. I really would like to know what is going on with JR’s mindset.

Not for JR’s White Sox.

I think they should have changed their name to Great Rate. Great Rate Field has a nice ring to it.

Lipcius has a nice Minor League track record, why hasn’t he advanced to the MLB level.

What’s going on with Paredes, 3 teams in less than a year.

Actually he was texting from a hospital room as he had some pretty serious surgery yesterday.

Didn’t say as it was a short text.

Red Sox golf crony of mine here in Florida thinks the White Sox fleeced the Sawx. Only time will tell.

Is there any kind of game plan to actually improve the club?

Remember it well.
