Add Bryant please!!!

Go get Bryant for RF. This lineup would be filthy Anderson Moncada Abreu Jimenez Bryant Robert Vaughn Grandal Hernandez

Bring him here and plug him in RF. Eloy/Vaughn split LF and DH.

Hey I'm with ya. McConnell was very good too. I just really enjoyed (and remember) Lorn Brown's calls. Even when he came back in 1983 (and even in 1985 with Del Crandall zzzzzzzz). His calls of some summer of 1985 white sox walk offs were fantastic. McConnell while great did the Bears as well and only was with the Sox from 80-84. I never associated Joe as the "White Sox" guy. He was more of a Chicago sports guy. Just an opinion through. Good times regardless.

Lorn Brown was the best White Sox radio play by play man in my lifetime. Not even close. Rooney had zero passion and was a baseball broadcaster cliché. Phony broadcaster voice and all. Guy was so desperate for a catch phrase and he comes up with "it's a goner" for home run calls. WOW! Original. For wins he used "that's a white sox winner" which is a pure rip off of Jack Buck. Ed Farmer shouldn't even be mentioned as a play by play man because he was put into that job with zero qualification and he's ever gotten one iota better since day one. He broadcasts a game like Yoda would. "The Sox trail 3-2 they do"

100% spot on. It's actually quite embarrassing. I don't even have 720 as a preset in my car radio because I'd rather watch the gamecast on my phone than listen to Farmer.

Think he’s saying JR lucked into getting Jordan. Not that the titles were luck. We’ve all seen what the Bulls have been in the 20 years after Jordan retired.

Wouldn’t think they would come out and say “we’re the favorites” so I don’t necessarily interpret that tweet as bad news. My worry is that they make offers to both players but at much less than highest bid and when these guys sign elsewhere they can tell the fan base that they “went all in” but came up short. With that said, this scenario could be the farthest from the truth but this is how I’ve been programmed to think being a Sox fan for so long.

I tend to agree with you. At minimum it would take a shift in ownership philosophy and that won't happen with JR. I guess he's content with 5 playoff appearances every 35 years.

Sorry if this has/is being discussed in another thread. With the Sox on the brink of becoming the equivalent of what the Clippers were in LA for two decades, it's time to pay John McDonough anything it takes to get him here. The Sox (and the Bulls for that matter) lack vision and direction (our GM admitted that the way the Sox are going about business is more difficult than typical!) and McDonough has proven that he can make teams relevant. The Hawks were an afterthought in Chicago before he and Rocky took over. The Sox are on very thin ice in this town. The Cubs, to their credit, are built for sustained success and it's going to be a challenge to generate interest in the South Side. Winning of course helps and I'm not saying McDonough fixes that but the Sox need revenue and being relevant would create more dollars.
