Let's get some live baseball back and maybe get some new fans to our national past time... actually I just want it back myself but thought I'd throw out another reason for "the good of the sport" ?

I'd love it if he fell to #11 from everything I've read....but I highly doubt that happens.

Just by personal observation, the average Sox fan also has a higher IQ (especially baseball wise) than the average Cubs fan ?

Watched part of the game today...Carl Everett in RF showing why he was a DH....my goodness he was scary bad out there

That's awesome...could you imagine walking up to that and Ricky calls for a bunt. ?

If you could have just 1 at bat as a member of the White Sox, what would you choose as your walk up song as you stroll to the dish? I would choose The Underdog by Spoon.

I had it in a bar in Saugatuck a couple of summers back and thought it was great too. Is it available in Illinois?

Great article...thanks. With the younger squad and 2 allstar catchers, I would love to see what the Sox would do playing extra double headers. It would be strange to see the games with no crowds but it would be terrific to have live baseball back in any form.

Has anyone else tried the Greenbush Starchicken ipa?

I just don't get how free tshirt Thursdays will work in this scenario?

Since we will be in Arizona...Can we go back to the days of guys getting their running work in the outfield during the game. You could change the rules to let them be pinch runners throughout the game...Adam Engel could be on base most innings. ?

Enjoying my 1st Sox Ale now while watching Rogue One...wish I was watching a live Sox game instead. They'll be backing eventually. In the meantime I'll just say a silent toast to Farmio and fondly remember "SOX WIN, SOX WIN!!"

I actually am going to make a stop at Binnys for some red wine for my wife...I'll look for Gumballhead while I'm there....also bought the new Sox ale yesterday... Been enjoying a cold one in the evenings of lockdown

I was at the store yesterday and walked past the craft beer section (ok, maybe deliberately) and saw Zombie Dust which I remembered had been mentioned on this thread. Never had it before but enjoyed a cold one last night. That is an excellent beer!! Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers and Safe Stay Everybody!!

I really am going to miss hearing his voice when listening to games while driving in the car. I learned to enjoy the give and take between him and DJ. I truly wish he is in heaven finally driving one of those windy city limos, or whatever else makes his dreams come true. Prayers to his family at this difficult time.

It would be cool to start the season by playing the scene with Terrence Mann's "baseball" speech to Ray right before the game. People will come Ray, people will most definitely come.

Well, if we played all playoff games in Arizona....Adam Engel has a chance to be the World Series MVP ?

I usually am not a big fan of mystery movies, but my wife really wanted to watch Knives Out. It was actually quite entertaining and worth a look imho. We actually sat down to watch it with a pizza with my college age son, and he stayed for the entire film (not something he usually does with his folks)....high praise indeed

Was taking off work to see my alma mater for the first time ever with a #1 seed (probably). What the hell do I do during the day next Thursday and Friday.

If EE never plays a regular season game, and we ride the back of Yermin Mercedes to a World Series crown this year....does EE get a ring?

A few years back, while I was listening to a White Sox Weekly broadcast, I heard one of the national baseball "experts" (sorry, I do not remember who it was) and he predicted that the closer for the White Sox when they were ready to contend would be Carson Fulmer. That was at a time when Carson was still considered by people as a future starter. I do root for Carson since by all accounts I have seen he was initially upset about being moved to the bullpen but quickly acclimated to doing whatever it takes to succeed in the bullpen. With his stuff, he could be a possible closer down the road...if he can throw strikes!!

In honor of you both, let's call it the Parkman-lane scale of panicness. I am currently at a .25 and in no way canceling a trip that I have planned to San Antonio next week. (I don't really like crowds anyways). My wife is more at a 5, so we will see, but I think that is more because she does not like to fly.

Thank you...I have now voted.

I did not see an option for just start the season as normal allowing fans to come to the game as usual....so I did not vote in this Soxtalk survey. Would that be the Libertarian button that was not included?

That a boy, Carson. That'll do!!!
