$332M would have been too much....$331M seems right.

As we prepare to tell 2022 to go pack a f&%$ing lunch, let’s look back at this year in White Sox baseball and Soxtalk for any random thoughts about the year. I am not a great prognosticator by any stretch, but I remember speaking with my brother and nephews rather early in the season and saying “I think this year’s team is just a .500 ballclub. I could be wrong but it seems like that is all they are.” I hoped for them to turn it around and they seemed to for a short amount of time when Cairo took over but then they fell flat on their collective faces again. As for Soxtalk, I want to thank everyone here for helping me get through this lot in life that is being a White Sox fan. I am never going to stop being one, so it is great to have a place to commiserate, learn from some very knowledgeable fans, and just to laugh. Any general 2022 thoughts from y’all?? Happy New Year. I hope for everyone here, and their families, that it a very healthy and prosperous 2023.

I thought TA said to call Howard Aiken? I'm so confused....Hey confusion, that sounds like some punitive damages are due to me as well.

Never too soon. But I am still waiting for a call back from Jeff Vukovich....my neck kinda hurts from getting rearended by someone who has Nationwide.

Just playing, my friend. That blood sausage quote is from one of my favorite movies Groundhog Day and I enjoy throwing it out occasionally. In all honesty, singing the jingle might have been amusing at some point but after a few years it is like a Saturday Night Live skit where they just don't know when to quit. And I do mute the thing every time the remote is close enough. But as long suffering Sox fans, we all know there are worse problems with this team. And for anyone here offended by my disdain for the jingle.....

You know, people like blood sausage, too. People are morons.

Bullpens are a crapshoot and Kelly could be either good or bad. The problem with Kelly is that we paid premium $ for an oft injured relief pitcher and low and behold he was out injured again last season.

People actually defending that damn song?...I'll retire to Bedlam. I'm done with your micro-aggressions.

1-877-Kars4Kids K A R S, kars for kids Donate your car 2 day.

I think you're in the wrong thread Dick....and I still disagree with you.

I refuse to be silenced any longer by you Nationwide Stans BAN THE JINGLE!!!!!!

I'd rather listen to the Kars4Kids song on repeat. Jeff Vukovich is a Cubs fan who has poisoned this team with his cursed Jingle. As long as they continue to sing it, the White Sox will never win a World Series.

That or a government bail out for the poor guy.

If 100% of the State of Iowa are not Cubs fans, it is damn close to that #.

I was at that game and it was unbelievable. I actually like to remember it as the Joe Crede clutch double game. Later in the year, we were hosting Christmas at our house and we were preparing for that...my wife came down to the basement where I was "cleaning" and I had the rebroadcast of that game on in the background and she said "Why are you watching that...that was the only playoff game you were actually at??!!"...."Yeah, but I didn't see it on TV."

A very special "30 for 30" episode airing soon...."Why White Sox fans continue to support a team that has never won a World Series?!?"

You've got to kinda feel for Scott Boras with these deals continuously falling through....damn doctors!!!

Is he going to end up with a 1 year prove he's healthy contract???

You can't win the division in Spring Training....I just hope you can't lose it.

Oh I agree with you. I do not think he deserved a shot. I was just saying that when the team somewhat turned it around last season, it was his job to lose and then the team went ahead and lost it for him. A change was obviously necessary.

Could not agree with you more. The team's awful stretch at the end of the season absolutely cost Cairo the managerial job.

I am excited to see what this new approach, in combination with the new rules about the shift, is going to do to our offensive output.

Would you settle for Carson Fulmer??

Honestly, I love baseball but when the playoffs come around and the White Sox are not involved, I really don't care. This team is in my blood and I don't think that will change. I know Reinsdorf owns them but they are MY team and for other diehards, OUR team.

Almost 50 degrees on New Years Eve in Chicago...maybe I should see if any courses are open? The previously frozen ground should give me some extra roll off the tee.
