  1. If Hahn gave a 34 year old Adam LaRoche a 2 year $24 million dollar contract, I would like to think he will give a 32 year old Jose Abreu the same 2year $24 million contract.
  2. Sitting at the game yesterday I couldn't help but remember that Oaklands pitcher Chris Bassitt was once a member of the White Sox organization. He was traded by Hahn with Marcus Semien for jeff Samardzlia. Bassitt would sure look good in the White Sox rotation. This trade was another bad one by Hahn.
  3. Ivan Nova has pitched very good since the All Star break. If he continues to pitch this good the final 2 months of the season. I'm wondering if the Hahn will bring him back in 2020.
  4. The 2019 season would have been a lot better if Kopech and Rodon had been healthy. Hopefully both will be able to pitch successfully in 2020. That being said, I still wish that JR would sell the team.
  5. It came out recently that Henderson Nevada has tried getting the Arizona Diamondbacks to move to Henderson. They offered to build a baseball only stadium for $1 billion dollars. So far the Diamondbacks haven't agreed to anything. The people in Henderson believe that they are going to get a MLB team sooner rather than later. I hope they don't make the same offer to JR.
  6. I try not to pay attention to what Hahn says, but hopefully if being aggressive adds some quality free agents to the team I'm all for it. I go to most of these games and White Sox fans deserve a better team than what we've seen the last 7 years. The White Sox crowds have been good this year. This team should draw more people than last year. I think that White Sox fans should be commended for coming out this season. White Sox fans are starving for some winning baseball. Hopefully it starts in 2020.
  7. Its not only pathetic but it seems like this situation is accepted by JR. I guess if he's making nothing but money, the losing doesn't bother him.
  8. Most White Sox fans were disappointed that Hahn didn't acquire any major stars this past off season. Other than Colome and McCann Hahn didn't acquire anybody who helped the team. Wouldn't it be nice if he acquired somebody in the next few days who can actually help the team for the reminder of this season and next year?
  9. I read a interesting article that was about the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates have been bad since the All Star break . Pirates GM Neal Huntington said that he should be held accountable for the Pirates lack of success. I don't know if he will lose his job but its certainly possible. I don't see anybody in the White Sox front office/ownership being held accountable for this present mess. This so called rebuild appears to me as if the team wins or if the team loses so be it. As long as this franchise is making money hand over fist, that's all that matters to this ownership.
  10. I went to the game last night. It was really a nice night and a decent crowd of 22,000. The Christmas In July promotion was nice. The free T-shirt was wonderful. Hearing the Christmas music before the game and in between innings was nice. They've had this promotion before and I hope they continue to have it in the future. The promotion was better than the game .
  11. Maybe he has become a houseman for JR. At his age, if he loses his job he won't get another job as a announcer. MLB teams would go with a younger person and he knows it. The White Sox are his last stop before he eventually retires.
  12. I also have the ticket stub from the first Comiskey Park night game from August 14, 1939.
  13. 1) The 1942 White Sox poster schedule which lists all of the home games from that season, 2) Every White Sox media guide and yearbook since 1933. 3) Every Topps White Sox baseball card from 1959 to the present. The above have been my favorites. My White Sox collection has been featured in Sports Collectors Digest, Sports Collectors daily and the first edition of the White Sox Encyclopedia by Richard Lindberg. My latest collecting sickness are White Sox bobbleheads. I have 130 different White Sox bobbleheads. I'm running out of room in my mancave.
  14. JR could care less about his legacy. His main objective with both of his teams was making money. He's been very very good at making money. Both of his teams are making him richer every year. As far as the White Sox go, the only thing he has to hang his hat on is the 2005 World championship season. Other than that his ownership of the White Sox has been BAD. It continues to be bad but like I said he's making nothing but money with this team.
  15. Stone has changed his act. He basically has become a house man for this White Sox rebuild. He's smart enough to know that if he says something bad about this rebuild/management team he won't be announcing here anymore. And at his age he won't be hired elsewhere.
  16. This worries me. If Hahn trades Abreu at the deadline, he might bring back Alonso to replace Abreu.

    2019

    I do the same song and dance every year because the team is bad every year. If the team had some degree of success I wouldn't do the same song and dance.
  18. Wouldn't it be something if Robert was called up? I'm not expecting it but I would like to see it.

    The White Sox should have obtained some starting pitching this past off season. I t could have made this season a much more successful year.

    2019

    I never thought for one minute that the White Sox would sign Harper/Machado this past off season. I also didn't think this 2019 season would be a winning season. Still. this 7 game losing streak (of which 4 of the losses were to the Royals) is just pathetic. This losing on purpose and the owners making millions of dollars isn't right. This ownership could care less that this team is losing as long as they are making tons of money. Keep in mind that Forbes said the White Sox were the 6th most profitable team in MLB last season. I'm expecting the 2019 White Sox will make even more money for this ownership in 2019. There is absolutely no accountability for this mess. Being a season ticket holder, I'm finding it harder to go to these games knowing that the team is going to lose year after year. If we had a owner who cared about winning both Hahn and Renteria would be gone. I just don't see this situation getting better anytime soon. I hope I'm wrong.
  21. Now that this has happened and the offense can't score any runs, I hope they call up both Robert and Madrigal. Let both of them get there feet wet up here now.
  22. If the White Sox get swept in KC I hope Renteria gets fired. I would rather have Hahn get the boot but I don't think that will happen. The team has looked horrible on this road trip. If the team keeps losing Renteria should go.
  23. I'm expecting the 2020 White Sox payroll to be lower than the 2019 team payroll.
  24. It doesn't take much to see the White Sox are in need of starting pitching. There is nothing to suggest that help will come from the minor league system. I don't think JR is going to spend upwards of $140 million on Cole. I'm wondering if the team would consider putting Aaron Bummer in the starting rotation. I would like to think he would be able to give the team a decent start of at least 5 innings. He would have to be better than the starters they've being throwing out there recently.
