8 myths out
The so called Black Sox Scandal is a myth. The 8 members of the team were put on trial and were found not guilty.This is the USA. If your put on trial and found not guilty, you are innocent. They were banned from MLB by a ruthless new Commmisioner (Judge Landis) who wanted to make an example out of the 8 players. Landis was also a Cubs fan who hated the White Sox. He had no use for the White Sox, none. Landis could have banned Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker who were involved in fixing games and he did nothing to them. In 1932 the bad guys on the northside of Chicago fired there manager (Rogers Hornsby) because they thought he was throwing games because of his gambling habit. Landis looked the other way.

Predict the White Sox Record After 30 Games
29-1

How many games will the White Sox win in 2019?
95-67. This team is going to score a ton of runs. The starting rotation will over achieve. The starting rotation will even be better after Giolito is no longer on the team and replaced by Cease. Bullpen is greatly improved. This should be a Playoff team this 2019 season. White Sox fans will be dancing in the streets this year.

Roster Cuts Thread
Its a shame that I've never been the White Sox GM. I'm still hoping to be interviewed for the job eventually. If I was ever as bad a GM as Hahn has been, I would hang my head in shame and walk out the door.

Roster Cuts Thread
Dan Straily was just released by the Marlins. I would much rather see him in the White Sox rotation than Giolito.

Ian Happ
If Epstein becomes the White Sox GM, I will not write JR a letter requesting to be interviewed for the White Sox GM job.
-
Ian Happ
Better yet, how about Fulmer, Giolito, Jay, Alonso AND Rick Hahn for Happ AND Theo Epstein.

Ian Happ
How about Jay, Alonzo, Fulmer and Giolito for Happ?

Giolito/Cease
I saw where the bad guys on the Northside just demoted Ian Happ to the minors. I'm told that Happ isn't to happy about being demoted. Obviously his team is not happy with him. The White Sox can't possibly be happy with Giolito. Why not trade Giolito to the bad guys for Happ?

Eloy officially got paid
This off season has been a PR disaster. Signing Eloy to a long term contract has to be the best news for White Sox fans. Finally some positive news.

Thoughts on the Sox shifting Moncada to 3b?
I get the impression that Madrigal will be the White Sox 2nd baseman Opening Day 2020. Moncada might as well get use to 3rd base now. Besides, who else do the White Sox have in there system now who is a 3rd baseman?
-
Thoughts on the Sox shifting Moncada to 3b?
Madrigal is the White Sox second baseman of the future. And it might be real soon. That being the case, the move of Moncada to 3rd base makes sense.
-
Giolito/Cease
Cease is going to be brought up sometime in 2019. If Giolito keeps getting bombed and Cease does well in the minors, I would bring him up in a second.
-
Giolito/Cease
It looks like Giolito is going to be in the starting rotation. He doesn't deserve it but he's penciled in as of now. I can't help but wonder, if he continues to be bad how long will it be before he's no longer a member of this team? Will the White Sox call up Dylan Cease to replace him? If Cease is the talent everybody thinks he is, why not bring him up this year?

Optimistic Fan Thread
The 2019 lineup of Jimenez, Abreu, Moncada, Anderson, Palka, Alonzo and others should score a lot of runs this season.

Red Line Radio Hahn Interview
Renteria said recently that he doesn't think anybody wants a perpetual rebuild. But it looks like that is whats happening. This so called rebuild/tanking can go on for years.
-
Gio Gonzalez
I think Hahns contract runs thru the 2019 season. If 2019 becomes another 100 loss season I would like to think Hahn won't be back in 2020.

8 myths out
I hope the White Sox have a Joe Jackson bobblehead night this season. It would create a ton of publicity for the franchise.

The Case for Dalllas Keuchel
1) This is year 7 that Hahn has been the GM. Not one winning season and he still has his job. That he still is the GM has to be one of the amazing things in the modern history of the franchise. He would be gone from any other MLB team by now. 2) There's a lot of unsold tickets for the White Sox home opener. It will be interesting to see how many fans come out this year for Opening Day.
-
The Case for Dalllas Keuchel
If the White Sox can sign him for 3years or less, sign him. I would rather see him in the rotation than Giolito or Fulmer. The White Sox rotation is almost hopeless and its pointing to another 100 loss season. Sign him. The sooner the better.

Have we hit bottom?
I wish the White Sox had a park as nice as PNC and it was located in the South Loop.

Jerry, KW, & Hahn Kill SouthSideSox (sorta)
I think I'm the only person to be banned by WSI by request. The semi literate moron that runs WSI emailed me last year and threatened to ban me on a permanent basis. I emailed him back and told him go ahead and ban me, which they eventually did.
-
What Kind of Rebuild is This?
Its simply a rebuild done as cheaply as possible. Hopefully the young players will come thru. And if they don't, they don't. That's how this comes off to me. Kuechel is still a free agent. Wouldn't he look better in the White Sox rotation then Giloito, Covay or Fulmer?
-
Who is your top 2019-20 free agent target
I think that most White Sox fans feel the same way. It will be curious how fans react to this team especially if the team gets off to a bad start.

Jerry, KW, & Hahn Kill SouthSideSox (sorta)
I'm surprised that SouthsideSox is in trouble. I've always thought that WSI would go down the tubes before anybody else.
