“The 78” + "The Railyard" = the future of the Sox and Fire
Attempting to make this personal is lame. Regarding Ingress and egress at the 78, Mansueto started building a soccer stadium knowing that ingress and egress would be an issue. Only after construction did Related and Mansueto pressure the City for 440 million in TIF, mainly to to build a parking lot that finally made it possible to gain access off Roosevelt Road. But no, I made that up mother f.

Neighborhood residents should do everything they can to stop Ishbia from destroying their neighborhood, like local residents have done to stop the building of AI power centers and ICE detention centers. The appearance of a 4 story train warehouse right on 35th street? You git to be kidding me. Noise , rumbling and pollution from diesel engines? Vermin from stagnant rail cars? The destruction of the Armor Fieldhouse and Rate Field with nothing even proposed to replace them? Fine urban planning from the man from Detroit who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. I mean, fvk him. But Ishbia is Chicago's Trump, a guy who seeks to do whatever he, in his sole discretion wants to do. You want ballroom and big Arch? You get ballroom and big Arch. From his overblown mansion in Winnetka, Ishbia has nothing in common with the White Sox fan base or middle class people from the South side of Chicago or Southwest suburbs. He is more powerful than a speeding locomotive, faster than a speeding bullet. Need Kryptonite to stop this greedy billionaire from taking the South side permanently out of the White Sox.

Do you think Schriff will be back next season?
If I was Schriffen I would aggressively explore other options. This fan base, as it is, has not been kind to him let alone supportive. John has worked for CBS, ESPN, NFL Network, so I am sure he will land somewhere.

And that's a Urquidy ball White Sox winner!!!
Absurd unwarranted criticism. I could point out numerous arcane expressions used by sports announcers including Hawk and Harry. The thing that is different is that some fans just don't like Schriffen. Just admit that and stop nit picking everything he says or does, or better yet, just focus on enjoying the games.

Dude, it was a good throw.

Oh sure, adding Thome to the White Sox in 2006 or Cease to the BJays this year finished the equation. Look, this is the team that should have been bolstered at the deadline. We may not see a young group of players gel like this again. This is the team.

If the Sox had the likes of some of the old-school Managers like Billy Martin, Pete Crow would not see a strike and would be in a defensive posture at the plate. He' going to get on base anyway, so at least make it interesting. At least one brush-back pitch in every at-bat.

Getz stated before the trade deadline that the Sox would not be trading prospect capital but would be willing to take on player contracts. Really foolish. If you have a team in first place in August, you go for it, balls to the wall, no holds barred. We may not see another year like the White Sox have had in 2026 for many more years. It has been fun to watch, until the series in Wrigley.

Getz should have traded Bonemer. He probably has no place on the roster next year, especially if Roch comes up.

They have 6 outs to get a run. We have 3 . Not great odds for a win tonight. I'm heading out for a while. Good luck.

DFA Doyle, Brazobad, and Rogers.

I wouldn't mind seeing some altercations on the field and maybe in the stands as well. Fight, fight. fight.

What will a Cub sweep do to the Sox and their fan base at this point of the season? My nuts are busted after one loss to the Northsiders.

Rogers is the worst option the Sox have at catcher. I would rather have Romo or Quero or Teel on one leg. Some of the swings Rogers had were laughable....like he was swinging blind-folded.

Too many automatic outs in the Sox line-up lately and Rogers and Doyle added to that list.

I sense a sweep because of the pitching match-ups.

Future of Positional Core
Keep the young starting position players we have until another player demonstrates that they are better. Doyle is an example of a player Getz acquired after panicking about Peters slump....but he may not be as good as Peters, even in a platoon role. The Sox have several young position players that are learning the game at the same time. This is a special team, one that we have never seen on the South side before.

I am fine with the starting line-up and hope Getz keeps these guys together for a few years.

Catchers, Catchers, Anywhere?
After numerous demotions of Quero to the minors to "get some at-bats and work on things," I now wonder whether there was/is more to it. Consider that the Sox are in the final weeks of a pennant race during which time Getz acquired two veteran catchers and kept Romo as the back-up. Anyway, I am just hoping to see Teel back before the end of the season.
