Bad ideas? They abound now that a Billionaire owner, not familiar with SS Sox fans has decided to move mountains (so to speak) to do whatever it takes to move the White Sox from their historical home. He risks ruining South side neighborhoods that have been gentrifying for years North and East of the park. Instead, he proposes moving an Amtrak rail yard there, leaving empty surface lots and a stadium that will need to be demolished. Great urban planning buddy, but who cares from your vantage point on the North shore? Allegedly, Jerry is Greedy but Ishbia is not. Yep, got that from Ishbia's Winnetka project. The "78" preliminary plans do not include adequate surface parking. No tail-gaiting just get the fans into the stadium asap to eat and drink more. Keep the fans in their seats, like at Wrigley. No room for expansive outfield concourses like the Rate has. A view of the Loop from your seat? Probably not. I digress....years ago the beloved Jack Brickhouse used to enjoy announcing home runs as fans watched Ernie's HR bound out of the park. That very special feature of Wrigley was erased when Ricketts decided to block views from inside and from outside the park with several scoreboards, including that monstrosity in LF. Another bad idea - back some proposed stadium up to the canal. The canal is not a river. Google "Bubbly Creek." That section of the canal is probably still not safe to swim in or fall into. It's dark, silty, stagnant water with decaying organic sludge at the bottom. If you have ever been to Oracle Park you would laugh at the notion that the sanitary canal would be comparable to McCovey Cove in any way, shape or form. But dream on. Someone suggested that fans abandon their old habits of driving to the park with family and friends and instead drive to train stations. Another bad idea that makes traveling more time consuming, less convenient and less safe for many fans, especially in the far SW suburbs. That idea could very well lead to less attendance in the long run ... a lot less. Anyway, as mere fans, let's not get to sappy about the proposed stadiums. The stadium issues for the Bears and the White Sox are mostly about billionaire money and greed - priorities which always trump anything else.

Bring up Braden Montgomery and DFA Kelenic. Bring up Kory Lee and demote Quero to Charlotte.

Oh Bullshit.

A lot of factors go into the decision to make certain pitchers starters, middle relievers or Closers. I don't claim to know all of them and have just watched Grant Taylor pitch many times. My own opinion is that his 100 mph fastballs look like max effort. Maybe he can continue to shove 100 mph for 5-6 innings, game after game, but maybe not. I am suggesting that there is more to this than we know and any speculation about it is just that. At the end of the day, the Sox need a lock -down Closer this year. Taylor looks like the best for that role, at least right now. Trade Dominguez, not Taylor.

Chowlowski might be better than Colson at SS but until he plays in the majors, who knows. If Roch did replace Colson, I would still have Vargas at 3B where his skill set fits. A bunch of infield prospects on the horizon, but I, for one, like what we have right now 3rd to 1st. This is a good infield on a very good team.

No "Tarps off" at Sox park. Please.

I hope the X-rays are negative on Vargas hand. He can't be replaced,

Caleb Bonemer, Jacob Gonzales

I think the progression of our bullpen pitchers after Kay should be instructive as to which pitchers are reliable in key late innings. Dominguez may well have blown this very important win. We are all happy he wasn't part of this.

Tristan and Hill would seem to make Acuna unnecessary but no, Getz won't DFA him.

Great bullpen pitching by the White Sox after Kay left. Tremendous. And no Seranthony.

One of the best games I have seen. White Sox maintained focus despite all the noise and distraction in RF. Jerry's Boys don't quit !

I understand and appreciate Sam's aggressive style of play, but The three controversial plays he was involved with made him look more foolish than anything. Even Ozzie would not defend Sam dropping a ground ball to start a double play or standing in the base path between second and third. Beckham likewise did not understand why Sam tried to get to third with no outs in the first inning and was tagged out easily. Sam needs to use his noggin a bit more.

I'm not going to respond to any of your nonsense unless you direct something toward me personally, or, as you have done, indirectly try to criticize me or my opinions.

Hypothetically, what could the Mayor do within his power as Mayor to try to keep the Chicago Bears in Chicago ? Maybe you don't care and, if so, I understand that.

IMO, the entire concept of the WBC is flawed. Roman Anthony and other Americans with strong familial ties to other countries played for Team USA (LOL about Anthony). Recall that elimination game in Florida where there appeared to be more fans rooting for Venezuela. The WBC will probably go on, but a lot of MLB players should be reticent to participate. (and there are restrictions on insurance for injuries in their player contracts) Perhaps citizenship rules comparable to the Olympic games (players must be a national of the country they represent) should minimally be implemented. Otherwise the thing is a joke. I think there was some utility in allowing mlb players to express pride in their native country. However, in the current political climate, some people might not have even appreciated that.

Get 'em tomorrow.

Wow. Horrible catching.

Sam has 3 bone head plays in this game, but I still love the guy.

Woo is shutting us out so none of the base running issues matter.

I love Antonnaci's aggressive style of play even though some of it looks a bit forced or even foolish in hindsight. In that sense, he reminds me of how "Charlie Hustle" Pete Rose played the game. Of course I am not excusing his gambling, but Rose was a tremendous competitor that took every extra base he could and played with a winning attitude. And he could care less what anyone else thought about him or his style of play.

Derek Hill has earned the back-up outfielder spot. I don't see how Acuna is still on the roster. I was hoping Venable would never start him at all, let alone in CF. Having said that, I guess the more Acuna is out there, the better his chances are to figure things out.

I don't get the exercise in that post if indeed Teel was doing that after the hamstring injury. The movement seemed way too violent, stressful, and unnecessary. Nothing like resting an injured leg, at least in order to allow healing time. As far as the merits of Teel's diet and rehab., proof is in the pudding. See him around the All-Star break assuming no more tweaks and set-backs..

Edgar's walk-off celebration down the 3rd base line had some elements of Kash Patel's drunken celebration after the US Hockey team championship. Really intense, but Edgar, at least, deserved it.

Teel is listed as 5' 11" tall. IMO, 20 pounds is a LOT of weight to add just in the off-season. Maybe that is working out for him. This is Kyle's Godfather's deli where he worked on those subs : Park Wood DeliOur Story — Park Wood Deli
