9/2 GT: Sox v. Twinkies 710CT - A new leaf turned?
I'm trying to regain pennant/playoff fever but then I see Martin the starting pitcher Friday nights game. I would rather have Lambert starting. Does anybody know when Kopech will come back?

Will Giolito be non-tendered this offseason?
The White Sox offered Giolito a long term contract a few years ago. He declined the offer. Looks to me like he made a serious mistake. If he has another bad year in 2023 he might be out of baseball.

Perspective Desperately Needed
Fox. Aparicio, Pierce and Wynn liked Veeck as a person. They thought Veecks trading of Mincher, Cash, Battey, Romano and Callison was wrong They knew that all of those players were talented. All of those traded players had All Star years. The media always liked Veeck. I never understood it. I thought he was a terrible owner.

Impact of Sox Injuries...
With all of the injuries on this team this year plus 2 of their main hitters (Moncada + Grandal) have completely collapsed, is anyone really surprised that this team isn't winning? Also it should be pointed out that with Anderson and Robert not playing this team has no speed. They can't manufacture runs without any speed. This is going to be a very interesting off season. I wonder if the team will be blown up or if they try to add players to improve the team.

Curious - Season Tickets
The White Sox are the only sports team I care about. I look forward to going to the games. So yes, I will renew my season tickets.

Longtime AL team owner looking to sell
JR tried buying the Mets before he bought the White Sox. His offer was rejected. He wound up bidding on the White Sox and unfortunately became the owner.

8/18 Finale vs. Astros (Giolito v. Garcia RHP) 1:10 PM
Stone won't say anything bad about JR or TLR because this is his last year on his TV contract. If he upsets JR he won't be back here next year. At his age i don't think anybody else would hire him.
-
Moncada
I don't see how the White Sox are going to move Moncada this winter. He has 2 more years left on his contract and its some big money. I can't imagine any team wanting him. He can't hit anymore. I would think the team brings him back next year hoping he returns to his 2019 form.
-
8/10 at KC - Cueto vs. Bubic (7:10 start)
If the White Sox get out of the race I hope they bench Moncada the rest of the season. Once he's benched bring up Burger and have him play the rest of the way. Also lets hope that Moncada is not on the team next year.

Long Term Contracts
The White Sox have signed some of their players to long term contracts with mixed results. I can't help but wonder if Hahn is going to try and sign Cease and Vaughn to long term contracts. Also. Cueto is a free agent at the end of the season. Is Hahn going to sign and bring back Cueto?
-
Moncada
The White Sox are stuck with Moncada. No other team wants an overpriced bust. If Moncada didn't have a long term big money contract he would have been gone by now.

Worst Sox GM of all time
Trading Battey, Romano, Cash, Mincher and Callison cost the White Sox at least 2 pennants.

Trade Rumors Catch-all
If you look at the White Sox ownership of JR the only positive thing you can say is that it has made him nothing but money. Other than making alot of money he has been a terrible owner.
-
AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER
Eloy has been hitting the heck out of the ball recently. Even his outs are hard hit. Eloy looks dangerous again. I hope the team isn't stupid enough to trade him. Its a different lineup when he's hitting.

07/30 - A's @ White Sox, 6:15 PM CT
I heard Bruce Levine this morning on the radio. He said there will be major changes this off season with the players on the White Sox. Some of the major players on this team won't be here next year. He must know something the rest of us don't. It will be a very curious off season.

Fire Rick Hahn
I'm still open to taking the GM job. I haven't written JR a letter in quite some time. Maybe he'll come to his senses and give me an interview for the GM job. I think one of my main attractions would be I really wouldn't have to be paid much. At this stage of the game I really don't need alot of money. Not only that, but if i was as unproductive as Hahn has been I would resign. I would give myself 3 years to produce an AL pennant. If I didn't produce i would walkaway from the job.

Konerko: Actually Sox fans are good
taking everything into account, I think the White Sox have great fans.

long Term Contracts
Hahn has tied up certain players with long term contracts (Robert, Moncada, and Jimenez). I can't help but wonder if Hahn does the same thing with Vaughn and Cease. Also, Anderson has 2 more years before he becomes a free agent. Wonder if Hahn is going to extend him or replace him with Montgomery.

7/23 Guardians vs White Sox G1 12:10 PM: McKenzie vs Cueto
It is really raining where I'm at now. Wonder if this game is going to be played today.

Will the Sox ever outdraw the Cubs again?
JR tried buying some of the Bears ownership in the early 1980s when it was up for sale. The Bears ownership had to overpay to keep the ownership in the family. They held a press conference when there was talk of 2 stadiums in the South Loop and Mccaskey said he wouldn't go in with the White Sox, only the Cubs.

Will the Sox ever outdraw the Cubs again?
You're overlooking one thing, JR and the Bears ownership don't get along.
-
Will the Sox ever outdraw the Cubs again?
Do you think the Rays will get a new stadium? I read where the Rays ownership is willing to pay for half of the stadium. Since then, I haven't heard anything about it.

Will the Sox ever outdraw the Cubs again?
If the White Sox are going to move to the suburbs I would think it would be somewhere in the south/southwest or west suburbs. I live in Oswego and there are alot of White Sox fans out here and in the Naperville area. That being said, i don't think the team will ever move to the suburbs. Keep in mind that 20% of the White Sox fans use public transportation to get to the games. Most suburbs don't have good transportation systems if any at all.
