The Rate is till in real good shape. It would be criminal to knock it down in another 7 years. I remember in the early 1980s the City of St. Louis sold there baseball stadium to the baseball Cardinals for next to nothing. Maybe the State of Illinois will sell the stadium to the White Sox ownership.

Driving to the game last night I listened to the SCORE radio station. The announcer said that JR has no intention of extending the present lease. He definitely wants a new stadium. If that is true I know enough about JR that he knows where the new stadium will be. Whether its in the city, suburbs or out of state he knows where he wants the stadium to be.

You posted a few months ago that "your Source" told you that a new stadium was never brought up by anybody. If you believed that you believe in the Easter Bunny.

When the White Sox wanted a new stadium in the 1980s the City of Chicago wanted to build a stadium for the White Sox at Roosevelt and Clark. (Block 78) JR didn't want anything to do with it. Another terrible mistake on JRs part.

Maybe I'll finally get to interview for the GM job.

And the team is stuck with Moncada thru the 2024 season.

Why was Thompson starting last night instead of Colas? Perhaps Colas isn't part of the team in the future?

The team also has a massive hole at third base. Moncada simply can't hit. Last night he came up to bat 3 times with men on base and did nothing, I wasn't surprised. The only reason why he's on the team is because of his big contract. If he didn't have the big money contract he would be gone. The Cubs released Jason Heywood this past off season. They ate his big contract. The White Sox should have done the same thing with Moncada. We're stuck with Moncada for another year. Hahn traded Tatis Jr, Madrigal and Burger. If they hadn't been traded this team would look alot better. Its bad enough they were traded but they received nothing in return for them. I remember during the 2017 season Hahn traded David Robertson to the Yankees for absolutely nothing. Some people said that he saved the team money by trading him. The problem with that arguement is look at the millions of dollars Hahn has spent and wasted on players who never produced. Its almost as if Hahn is destroying the team intentionally.

SOX WIN, SOX WIN, HOLY COW, SOX WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. But keep in mind that Hahn is a lifelong Cubs fan. If the Tigers pay most of the money, Hahn might bring Baez here.

Now that Burger was traded the team is stuck with Moncada for another year. If they traded/released Moncada who plays 3rd base?

I remember reading an article a few weeks ago about Middleton where he said he loved playing for the White Sox here in Chicago. Perhaps he didn't like being traded?

The Bears sell out every game. The Bulls lead the NBA in attendance every year. Neither of those teams have been good for years. I read the other day where the Detroit Lions have sold every ticket to their games this year. The Lions haven't won a playoff game since 1957. Fans like going to the games and support their teams. I'm one of them. I'm going to the game tonight. I'm looking forward to it. I've often wondered if people like yourself who claim to be White Sox fans actually go to the games.

You won't support Anderson because he cheats on his wife? Does that mean you would not have been a fan of Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Ernie Banks, Michael Jordan and Brian Urlacher? All these players cheated on their wives.

If somebody is so miserable watching the White Sox there is a simple solution, stop watching them. I go to the games simply because i like going there.

I agree with you. i don't believe in tanking. Some so called White Sox fans post they hope the team keeps losing and others say stop going to the games. Those fans should find something else to do and support another team.

Hated to see Burger traded. This means we have to have Moncada in the starting lineup thru 2024.

If JR would have moved the White Sox to St. Pete it would have been the worse move in the history of sports. As you mentioned, he would have sold the Bulls also. So instead of being part owner of the Chicago White Sox, part owner of the Bulls and part owner of the United Center he would have been part owner of the Florida/Tampa Bay White Sox. They've already had 4 owners in St. Pete. If they don't get a new stadium on the other side of the Bay they will move the team out of there. Nobody talks about this but Eddie Einhorn was the one who wanted to move the team. If it would have been up to him they would have moved the team to Florida. When the team stayed here Einhorn sold most of White Sox shares to JR and left the scene.

Perhaps Montgomery will be the starting shortstop and Anderson will be the 2nd baseman in 2024 for the White Sox.

There's an article on Twitter that states that JR just spent $17 million dollars on land near the United Center. Don't know if he wants a new baseball stadium there.

It looks to me as if the team is just going thru the motions now. Last night the Rangers hit a double play ball to Moncada and he threw the ball to first base. Steve Stone thought that Moncada forgot how many outs there were. I was hoping the team would play Burger every day at third base the rest of the season. Instead they traded him, which tells me Moncada will be the third baseman in 2024. Anyways this looks like the last 2 months of the season are going to really be ugly. I can't help but wonder if the manager is going to survive the rest of the season. If this team continues to lose I wouldn't be surprised if they fired him before the season ends.

There are still some perks. You buy a parking pass package for $17.00 a game if you're a season ticket holder. They use to send out a special bobblehead to season ticket holders. That has ended.

Being a season ticket holder I talked to numerous people last night who are going to renew their tickets. They have already been contacted by their ticket reps. My rep hasn't contacted me yet but I will renew when the time comes. The old saying is true. You can't beat fun at the old ballpark.

The rebuild has had mixed results. The team got into the playoffs two years in a row for the first time in their history. Unfortunately they haven't won a playoff series during this rebuild. Hopefully, 2024 will put the team back into the playoffs.

White Sox baseball is like New Years Eve. Pure joy and happiness!!!!
