Going for 3-0 on the game Threads... Sox vs Diamondbacks 6:40ct.
There have been comments about it would be wrong to bring up Colson Montgomery. I don't see the harm in it. Could he possibly be worse than Capra? What do they have to lose by bringing him up?

“The 78” is alive and well for the Sox, Bears are 'advancing' Hammond development
Do you really think that JR at 89 years old is going to put money towards a new stadium? If anything the new owner is going to have to come up with the money. I wish that some sort of announcement would come about the stadium situation. Even if it means they're extending the lease at the present stadium.

Houser
Houser pitched another good game today. I looked up his yearly stats and I think its easy to say he'd having a career year. He's also a free agent after this year. Needless to say I think there is a good chance he will be traded at the deadline. I would think he would bring back something decent in return. Getz got Vargas in a deadline trade and that has worked out quite well for the White Sox. The team still needs 2 or 3 more good hitters. There are too many outs in the lineup. The team couldn't hit last year and it can't hit this year. Something needs to be done so this doesn't happen again next year. There have been reports that the new owner is going to start spending money in the off season. Hopefully the money will be spent on some free agent hitters.

Luis Robert trade thread: La Pantera stays.
I can't believe that anybody would want Robert Jr. He can't hit anymore.

Two often repeated statements/ arguments on this board that now seem silly:
i know numerous people who were banned. They kept banning me on a temporary basis. None of my comments were really that negative. Finally i emailed them and told them to ban me on a permanent basis.

White Sox promoting Wikelman González
When I saw Booser make that error in yesterdays game I couldn't help but wonder if the game was fixed. It was brutal.

6/18 game PPD, rescheduled 6/19 Doubleheader 1:10PM
Lools like another 100 loss season. Nothing will be done to improve the team in the off season again. When the team starts losing again in 2026 Getz will fire the manager and hire another unknown.

Why was he pulled for Capra?

Rosemont Stadium?
The Bears ownership don't get along with JR. This goes back to the mid 1980s when JR tried to buy a percentage of the Bears. From what I know the Bears have $2 billion to pay towards a new dome stadium in Arlington Heights. They are $3 billion short. Their new stadium is projected to cost $5 billion dollars. I don't know whats going to happen in terms of new stadiums for the Bears and White Sox. It looks to me a new White Sox stadium depends on how much money Ishbia wants to spend.

Rosemont Stadium?
A few years ago Rosemont wanted to build a new stadium for the Cubs. The Bears don't want the White Sox in Arlington Heights. If they had wanted the White Sox in Arlington Heights the deal would have happened already. If the 78 site doesn't work out for the White Sox, would Rosemont be a site for a White Sox stadium? I think a Rosemont site would be better for the White Sox fan base than Arlington Heights. The Mayor of Rosemont is a White Sox fan. Wonder if Rosemont might be the answer for a new White Sox stadium. The CTA blue line, expressway and tollway are right there in Rosemont.

In addition, I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel. Recently they have brought up Elko and then have shipped him down to the minors. He's the only person in the organization who has any power. I think the only reason why the team is drawing half way decent is because of the promotions. The giveaways (which i save, I'm a big time collector) and the $5 food nights are great. If there us anybody on this site who has something positive to say about the immediate future of the team, kindly tell me what it is.

I've always tried to be positive in life and in regards to the White Sox. Being a season ticket holder and watching this team this season I have unfortunately changed my mind. Sitting thru last nights game was brutal. I don't think things will get better for a long time. That one writer (Fegan) has said he doesn't think the team will be good until the year 2030. The thing that bothers me is that this losing doesn't bother JR. I don't think I'm wrong with my assessment of this situation.

JR knows perfectly well what he's doing. Trying to be owner of the team with the lowest payroll. He doesn't care if the team loses 100 games every year which sure doesn't say too much for his character.

Devers
The Tampa Rays were valued at $1.3 billion are now being sold for $1.7 billion. The White Sox have to be worth alot more than that.
-
Devers
If he 's taking out loans to cover operating costs, maybe he'll be forced to sell the team. Wouldn't that be a shame?
-
Devers
If you believe the White Sox are losing money you believe in the Easter Bunny. If the team was losing money JR would sell the team and run for his life and be long gone.

Devers
The Giants gave up next to nothing for Devers. I would think most White Sox would welcome trading nothing and receiving Devers. Just think the team could have had one of the best hitters in MLB for nothing. I've mentioned how the Boston fans are upset about the trade. They're really upset that they received nothing for Devers.

Devers
If Devers would have been traded to the White Sox imagine the positive reaction that would have occured. It would have showed that there is some hope instead of this hopelessness. Some people think the Rockies are going to break the White Sox losing record. From what I'm beginning to see this White Sox team might lose more games than the Rockies this year. And the people who run this organization are fine with it.

I went to the game last night and after the Cardinals scored 5 runs in the 2nd inning alot of the fans went to the concourse areas to buy food. It was $5.00 food night. The fans knew the game was over. By the 8th inning most of the remaining fans left were the Cardinals fans. Last nights White Sox lineup has to be the weakest in MLB. The only person missing was Josh Rojas. If the White Sox offered a trade package of Capra, Slater, Taylor Robert Jr, and Rojas to any MLB team you might get a bag of balls in return. I've always thought this seasons goal was to get as low of a payroll as possible. Next years payroll will be even lower. In the meantime as long as JR is running the show the team is going to keep losing 100 plus games every year. This losing on purpose is so wrong. I wish MLB would step in here and do something about this.

Devers
From what I've been reading the fans in Boston aren't too happy with the Devers trade. It was bad enough he was traded they received nothing in return for him. Looks like a complete salary dump.
-
Baldwin back to Charlotte
I read where the manager of the White Sox said Baldwin was sent back down because he needs to play every day. He said there is no place for him on this team where he would play every day. Yet we had a lineup last night that had Taylor, Slater and Capra. I wouldn't be surprised if Baldwin and Elko were moved to other organizations.
-
Baldwin back to Charlotte
Looks like Baldwin and Elko have no future with the White Sox.
-
Devers
From what I've been reading on reddit,the Red Sox fans are not happy about the Devers trade. This appears to be their white flag trade.
-
Baldwin Back, Palacios DFAd, Owen White to AAA, Tyler Gilbert recalled, Ryan Noda claimed from BOS
Looks like Baldwin joins Elko as players with no future with the White Sox.

Devers
I would feel alot better if he announced what he was going to spend the money on.
