  1. I wish MLB would step in. I don't think anything like this has ever happened before in MLB. Years ago the St. Louis Browns and Connie Macks A's were financially poor franchises and usually sold off or traded their players because of lack of money. JR is not poor. He is a multi billionaire. This doesn't say much about his character. You would think any wealthy owner would be ashamed of this team. Obviously he's not. This whole situation tells me he is content with this losing team AND LOW PAYROLL. This is going to be a very profitable year for JR and his investors. How much money does he need? Most people couldn't spend what he has. Yet he seems to want more and more money.
  2. For years we've all been told how much JR loves baseball. Supposedly he is happier with the White Sox WS Championship than he is with the Bulls championships. He supposedly watches every White Sox game. We're told he lives and dies with every game. If all this is true imagine what it would be like if he didn't care about baseball. This team is digging itself into another hole with no end in sight .If they would have added a couple of hitters and one good reliever this past off season this team would be 6-4 instead of 2-8. Obviously JR is content with this losing team and very low payroll.
  3. I would like to think that some changes are coming. The only thing I can think of is to promote Quero, Teel and Meidroth.
  4. Wouldn't you like to see JR hold a press conference today where he takes questions from the media? He won't do it because it would be a PR disaster on his part.
  5. I realize people buy teams to make money but still this is a very bad situation. With the low 2025 White Sox payroll JR is going to make some big money this year. How much money does he need? He's already a billionaire. He obviously doesn't care if the team keeps losing games. This team can't hit. He should have corrected this problem this past off season. Any owner worth his type of money who doesn't care about improving the team should sell the team.
  6. I'm hoping the new owner takes over sooner rather than later. Its obvious that JR has no interest in improving this team. I would think if he did he would have improved this offense during the off season. Any good owner would be ashamed as to how this team has turned out. It evidently hasn't bothered JR.
  7. If Robert Jr and Vaughn continue to tank this is going to be a long year. I think its fair to say if they do not produce they couldn't even be traded for anybody decent. That being said, it will be curious to see how this plays out.
  8. How long does Teel have to be in the minors?
  9. The only thing worse than losing baseball games is losing baseball games with no hitting. I thought if Robert Jr, Vargas, Vaughn and Benintendi would hit this team would be better. Only Benintendi is hitting. I also thought that Quero, Teel and Meidroth would be on the team to provide some hope for the future. None of the 3 are on the team. The thing that gets me about this whole situation is that ownership seems content with all of this.
  10. If they bring up Quero, Teel and Meidroth sooner rather than later and they produce this team could be playing meaningful games in September. The miracle on 35th Street could happen!
  11. The team could have been 3-0 with some offense. Lets hope they add some hitting sooner rather than later.
  12. Eloy was never the same hitter after getting hurt in a Spring Training game in 2021. He lost his power after the injury.
  13. Today was my 55th straight Opening Day. They're always more fun when the White Sox win. I'm hoping Montgomery and Teel or Quero are brought up and if they produce this team could really be good. whI'm hoping that Montgomery and
  14. I'm going. I wouldn't miss it for the world. Hopefully this will be a great season!!!!
  15. Getz traded Cease and Crochet. As of now the White Sox don't have one member on their roster who they received from those trades. I've requested an interview in the past with JR to be the White Sox GM. I think I could have done a better job trading Cease and Crochet than what Getz did.
  16. Eloy was sent down to the minors today by the Rays. Maybe the White Sox will pick him up again.
  17. I'm still hoping new ownership will take over sooner rather than later. The franchise needs a shot in the arm. If anybody doubts me go look at the advance ticket sale on ticketmaster for the White Sox home opener. It looks like half of the stadium is not sold out.
  18. I hope so.
  19. 81 wins if everybody stays healthy.
  20. A healthy lineup of Robert, Benintendi, Vargas, Drury, Vaughn and Meidroth should be decent. I'm disappointed that Teel and Quero didn't make the team. Hopefully they will be brought up soon.
  21. If the team stays healthy I'm expecting the team to win at least 81 games, maybe more.
  22. Hoping Burke is successful on Opening Day and will help lead the team to a great 2025 season!!!!
  23. He also would have built a stadium for the team with his own money.
  24. 1) The Cubs draw at least 20% of their attendance from out of state fans. The White Sox have only said that out of state fans are LESS than 10% of their attendance. The perception that the area around the White Sox stadium has always hurt them attendance wise. 2) Everybody seems to assume that the new owner will want a new stadium at the 78. Maybe not, perhaps he will want to build anew stadium in some suburban area. I don't know where but I think its a possibility.
