Following the WS loss, Toronto made some changes to their roster to improve but they actually got worse. Also it seems that the deeper a team advances in the playoffs, the more disappointed the team and the fans are. I recall Mookie starting a World Series ending double play on a grounder from Kirk who didn't make it half way to first. It was a ball buster.

The current line-up was solid for most of the season, but was out of gas, just like the pitching, by September. Yes, the pitching needs to be fortified but I hope Getz is cautious about making possible changes to this line-up. This team came so close. What a great season, but for the brutal ending in Cleveland.

The Chicago River on 18th street is a swimming spot? GMAFB

Maybe look for another location to relocate the railroad yard. How about Cameron, Illinois?

The Sox estimate about 20 percent of their fans use the red line to attend their games. Other train routes and buses , not sure...

The 2026 Whiff Sox. How disappointing. Back in high school our coaches taught rudimentary skills to avoid striking out - Taking the first pitch to see if you can get ahead in the count, choking up on the bat, keeping your head down and eyes on the ball. trying to hit the ball up the middle or to the opposite field, or bunting when asked. Pete Rose would laugh at a team that struck out 21 of 27 outs in a game. He had his flaws but he sure knew how to hit the ball. He used to get all coiled up like a snake with his head turned to the pitcher and eyes looking for the ball. There have been other great hitters but I can't think of one that was a free swinger - just seemingly taking a hard cut without trying to look the pitch into the bat.

No, I don't use public transit for numerous reasons. Neither do over 80% of fans who routinely attend White Sox games. The percentage of fans that use rail is even less. However, public transit is not one of the main issues, and neither is "ingress and egress." Yes, that was in fact an issue for the 78 until Mansueto got the City to approve $400 Million in TIF for improvements including a parking garage so automobiles could enter at grade from Roosevelt. Oh, that. I delineated the main issues with Ishbia's plan to relocate a railroad boneyard with dormant trains and a train warehouse to Rate Field (instead of an alternative location) and the AI slop renderings of the "The Railyard". Oh well, this being a sports internet forum, it is just so easy to post silly personal attacks rather than making a coherent and informed analysis. Mayor Brandon and Gov. Pritzker are all behind Ishbia, maybe Trump as well. I tell you there is no stopping Superman - faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive. Reminds me of when Kid Rock endorsed a certain political candidate saying : "Let a businessman run it." Blind trust and faith in a billionaire. That always works out, right?

I agree with Guff and others who have said that the Sox will need home runs, possibly a few with men on base, in order to win. Maybe come up with a new pitching strategy with Teel on board. Pitch inside on the hands if they are getting aggressive. I think there may be a fight in that game. Tensions are high.

My guess is that you don't go to many if any White Sox games, probably never lived in Chicago or have much knowledge about the South side. Your pseudo-intellectual posts don't impress me. You choose to kiss Ishbia's ass and trust his motives, why.. because he is a billionaire and of course, billionaires never have self-interest at their core. Meanwhile you fail to address the two main issues in any reasonable way and cite absurd facts like the distance by way of crow flight between Rate field and the Rail yard. You think that the industrial train yard in the South Loop is a residential neighborhood like the South side. First, focus on moving an enormous rail yard between 22nd street and 39th street, a project that even White Sox ownership had no idea about its scope. Thousand of residents live within a short distance. This has become an area that has stabilized in large measure because of the White Sox and associated businesses. Many Chicago property owners have rehabbed or constructed new residences in an area that is not wealthy, but is pretty nice. Why should they have their property values, neighborhood and lifestyles impacted by the Winnetka billionaire? Look, Chicagoans have a good idea what these kind of rail yards look like. Look at CN Joliet or CN Markham, neither of which is located in a gentrified residential neighborhood. This is insane. Second, study the proposed "railyard" stadium renderings. The parcel is not large enough for a conventional mlb stadium so a tall right field wall along the canal similar to the Green Monster will be required. On the East side of this stadium there are functioning rail road tracks and a street with elevated covered walkways attach to adjacent buildings. This is what results from a flawed and rushed process and an intense, misguided ambition fueled by wealth and avarice.

Your posts indicate that you don't know much about the stadium other than the 500 level (the last time you attended a game?), that you are not familiar with the Southside, and have no respect for the history and traditions of the White Sox and their fan base. Your desire for Ishbia to move the stadium near a train station more accessible to "casual fans" like yourself is all about you, isn't it? How selfish. Private financing? Oh, like the federally backed financing for moving an enormous railroad boneyard to the South side or the 134 Million he duked to Amtrak...which he gets back later? Ishbia doesn't spend personal money. Instead he manipulates debt to make money. That is what private equity investors do. There is no advantage to taxpayers if he abandons a stadium and acres of parking owned by the public. Ishbia's greed and avarice has now taken a back seat to his arrogance. You seem unable to understand what motivates the Ishbia clan - greed and avarice and a large helping of billionaire megalomania. Do your own research on them. Donald Vilimas, a 6th grader at Bridgeport Catholic Academy is not a causal fan like those you envision taking a train from afar to go to an occasional game. That youngster goes to numerous games every season. He really captured a lot of what it means to be a South side White Sox fan, even in the dark shadow of two play-off losses when he stated that : "“This just matters a lot to me—the White Sox are my team.” https://www.nbcchicago.com/chicago-sports-bears-sox-cubs-bulls-blackhawks/bridgeport-students-gifted-tickets-to-see-white-sox-in-game-3-of-alds/3999272/ This kid is special and I hope the White Sox honor him and his classmates, especially if the Sox overcome all odds and play for the AL championship.

Going quietly in the night. Hoping for a miracle in Cleveland.

I get your point but doesn't he have the right to rely on his management to make baseball personnel decisions?

I would like to see them put up a bit of a fight here.

Neither deal was JR's fault. Blame him for everything else but not those deals. Kenny and Rick screwed the pooch on the Shield trade. Getz was given the green light to sign a pitcher or pitchers at the deadline this year and he signed Castillo to a big contract.

Don't f*** with Fathom. Trust me on that.. And what is this sh1t about "bad takes" here ? Who started calling out people for their opinion(s)?

Can't wait until the 9th.

Fans need to stop chanting that 7 Nation army sh1t.

Game set match. Blacked out.

Darling creaming in pants.

Here they come.

We need a tater with two men on.

Not even close.
