WBWSF

I was at the games over the weekend and at the team stores and Grandstand. They were crowded with fans looking at the new City Connect apparel. From what I saw people were 't buying alot of the new stuff. The new jerseys are nice but it looks too much like a Bulls jersey. I also think the previous City Connect jerseys are better looking than the new ones. I would think that most fans would rather have old ones instead of the new ones. I'm guessing that the new numerous City Connect hats will be more popular than the new jerseys. I don't know if they release the merchandise sale results but I don't think the new City Connect items will be as popular as the old ones.

I always thought that Sportsvision flopped was because the Chicagoland area wasn't wired for cable.

I can't help but wonder if Tim Anderson is next to be demoted.

Maybe the Rangers will want Vaughn.

It looks like Vaughn is going to stay here and Elko will not be called up. If I was Elko I would ask to be released or traded. What else does Elko have to do in the minors to deserve a shot in the big leagues?

With Meidroth and Quero in the lineup and Vargas and Robert Jr starting to hit, things should start getting better. But still, I can't help but wonder how long this is going to go on with Vaughn, I can't see him being put down to the minors.They're not going to pay him his $5 million dollars to hit in the minors. If he continues to tank I would like to think he would be traded to some other team for not much of anything. The White Sox would probably have to pay most of his contract.

Keeping Elko in the Minors and having Vaughn starting every day tells me this organization is content with losing.

I would like to know what Elko is thinking. He has to be down in the dumps thinking what does he have to do to be promoted.

I hope they don't remove the parking lots at the Rate. Its one of the reasons I go there. The parking lots are great.

The team has had trouble scoring runs the last 2 seasons and yet they won't bring up their hottest minor league hitter. Seems rather odd. Perhaps ownership just doesn't like Elko.

Hats are great!!!!

Elko deserves a shot. It looks like its not going to happen anytime soon.

I've believed that ownership has been content with this losing team and LOW PAYROLL. Still, how can they be content with this situation of Vaughn? I would imagine that Elko can't be too thrilled still being in the Minors.

Meidroth, Quero, Baldwin, Shane Smith, Davis Martin And Cannon are on the team now. Elko should be up this year. Teel, Braden Montgomery, Noah Schultz, Hagen Smith and Grant Taylor will probably be on the team next year. It looks to me that the team will start to be alot better next year.

I'm under the impression Vaughn is one of the highest paid members on the team. I can't imagine him being DFA. Something has to be done. Elko desrves a chance. Hope its sooner rather than later.

Robert Jr has never been the same hitter after he got hurt last season. It looks to me like the injury he suffered last year has turned him into a much worse hitter.

How much longer are they going to start Vargas. He looks like he couldn't hit me. I don't know who they would play at third but there should be a change sooner rather than later.

You might be right about losing fans. I'm sure you remember how bad the Chicago Cardinals were their last 10 years in Chicago. When they left to go to St. Louis not too many people cared. Losing year after year took a toll on their fan base.

Very simple, he's making nothing but money with this bad team. Low payroll=more moola for the owner.

Obviously JR doesn't care how bad the team is.

Yes the team is disgraceful but even worse is that ownership is content with this situation. As long as the payroll is low and their making nothing but money, that's all that seems to matter to them.

One of the few highlights watching the White Sox the last few years was watching the pre and post game shows on TV. Most fans thought that Frank Thomas was tremendous on those shows. Yet he is not on the shows this year. I can't help but wonder why he wasn't brought back.

Another guy who seems to have sold his soul to JR is Steve Stone. He has become a big time houseman for JR.

Getz rubs me as if he does what he is told to do by JR. It doesn't say much for him as a person. I realize that these GM jobs don't come around very often. But still, if I'm right about him following orders from JR he should resign. He can't be baseball stupid and has to realize this team isn't any good. He could have easily made this team better this off season and didn't. I've mentioned in the past how I wanted to be interviewed for the GM job by JR. If JR would have had the good sense to hire me and if I had my hands tied by him I would resign.

The team always had trouble drawing big crowds in April. I'm beginning to believe that small crowds will happen during the warmer months.
