There were rumors for the past few weeks that Boston was going to trade Devers. I was hoping he would be traded to the White Sox. I don't know what Boston received in return for Devers or how good they are. Still, his bat would have been a welcome addition to the White Sox lineup.

1) The Sun Times in todays paper said that after 60 at bats Elko looked overwhelmed at the plate. So he was sent down again. Kyle Teel looks absolutely lost at the plate. If this keeps this up I wonder if Teel will be sent down. 2) Nice article in todays Sun Times about MLB stadium rankings. It said The Rate is 19th out of 30 MLB parks. That seems to be a fair evaluation.

Due to the fact he doesn't seem to fit into the future plans of the White Sox, you would think the decent thing to do is either trade him or release him.

I keep reading that Nashville is going to get the next MLB team one way or another. I would think there is a better chance of Portland getting a team before Nashville. The metro Portland area is bigger than Nashville. And from what I've been reading Portland is going to build a MLB stadium and give the team who plays in it a tremendous deal. The team will keep all of the ticket, parking and concession money. The team will have to pay only $300,000 a year to lease the stadium. If all of this is true, Portland will get a MLB team before Nashville. I just hope its not the White Sox.

Elko is the only person who has any power and they keep sending him down to the minor leagues. If I was him I would ask to be traded or released. Obviously he's not wanted here in Chicago. He's now being replaced by Noda who has no power.

Elko was just sent down again. I'm not surprised but still they haven't given him a fair shot. If I was him i would ask to be traded. He obviously doesn't fit into the plans of the team.

The organization has no regard for Elko. I would of rather had him hitting in the ninth inning instead of Taylor. I would also want Elko in the lineup instead of Rojas. I wouldn't be surprised if Elko was sent back down to the minors.

No, but I know enough about sports owners. They usually take the best offer. I would feel alot better about the White Sox stadium situation if they commited to some stadium in the Chicagoland area.

The Kansas offer is the better of the 2 offers. The proposed Kansas stadiums are 16 miles from the present stadiums in Kansas City. I would think both teams will take the Kansas offer.

I just read where the State of Kansas offered both teams 70% of the cost of the stadiums. They must accept the offer by the end of June.

I've noticed that the Nike White Sox City Connect jerseys and t-Shirts are being discounted on the internet. The hats are not being discounted. This tells me that the hats are selling and the new jerseys are not.

I'm sure the details in Missouri will come out. I wonder if both teams are going to get new stadiums and how much both teams will have to pay. Also, I read a few days ago that the NFL is willing to give $300 million dollars towards a new Bears stadium. Thats not alot when the stadium will cost $5 billion dollars.

The Missouri legislature passed some bill which will finance stadiums for the Royals and Chiefs. This should keep the teams in Missouri. The governor of Missouri is expected to sign the bill. The voters rejected a similar bill last year to finace both stadiums. I wonder how the owners of the Bears and White Sox feel about what is happening in Missouri.

If you dream the impossible dream,who knows it might happen.

i was at the game today. I was surprised that alot of people left the stadium after Witt Jr hit his home run. I always stay til the end. I'm glad I definitely stayed today. The last of the ninth inning was exciting. As the great Bob Elson use to say "The game is never over until the final out'.

Houser has been great. I can't help but wonder if he is going to be traded at the deadline.

Do you really think JR would have taken on a new owner/investor who was broke? JR eats, sleeps and drinks money. He doesn't mingle with people who are broke.

I read an interview with Getz today and he said he doesn't expect the team to be good for at least 3 years. I hope this new owner/investor of the team first bit of action is too kick Getz in his rear end out the door.

Jerome Howard (Curly) was my boyhood idol. The parents of a friend of mine actually met Curly in the mid 1940s. They said he was crazy.

I keep reading that there is a chance of the White Sox moving to Nashville with the new ownership. Who's building and paying for a new stadium in Nashville?

Todays Sun Times seems to think the Michael Reese location would be a better site for the new White Sox stadium. I don't many people would agree with that. That being said I'm told by a real good source that the Bears don't have the money ($5 billion dollars) for the new stadium in Arlington Heights. They want some investors to put money into buying parts of the Bears. There are enough investors willing to do that but those investors want some say so in running the team. The Bears don' t want to give up control of the team. I would think that the Ishbia family could work something out with the Bears where they would own a part of the Bears and get a new baseball stadium in Arlington Heights. I don't know if the White Sox fan base would be happy with a Arlington Heights location.

Other than the South Loop what other location is there? Maybe Rosemont?

I would think it would be a mistake if their wasn't any parking. Alot of their fan base from the suburbs come in their car. One of the reasons why I go to White Sox games is because the parking lots are great.

Is there going to be any place to park your car?

Rebuilding is another word for losing on purpose. 8 members of the 1919 White Sox were thrown out of MLB for taking money to lose on purpose. JR is doing the same thing. With the low payroll the team has ,he is losing on purpose and making nothing but money in doing so.
