  1. I like our line-up tonight.
  2. I recently watched Tanner on a post game show on CSHN and he came off like a nice relaxed person off the field but an intense competitor on the field.
  3. Ishbia wants to make the right moves but as a billionaire from Michigan he might benefit from what South side Sox fans have to say. Never forget, Reinsdorf and Einhorn ignored any ideas for a new stadium, including Phillip Bess' Armor Square park. I would still be down with locating the stadium where the Armor field house is on 33rd across from Cork & Kerry.
  4. "The Charlotte Knights got a scare on Wednesday when stud prospect Tanner McDougal was forced to leave his start early. The 23-year-old pitcher was experiencing forearm tightness, which required further testing. Chicago's Triple-A squad proceeded to announce that McDougal will now hit the seven-day IL as he works through the issue. Both the Knights and White Sox are crossing their fingers that McDougal has evaded any serious trouble." https://www.si.com/mlb/whitesox/onsi/white-sox-notes-tanner-mcdougal-s-injury-scare-fantastic-offensive-numbers-30 Crossing my fingers for Tanner.
  5. I would prefer Hill and Tristan Peters any day to Kelenic. Maybe he proves me wrong, but I doubt it.
  6. I have expressed my opinion many times that the outfield concourses at Rate Field are fantastic. A great place to gather, purchase and enjoy food and drinks, access washrooms, meet friends who purchased seats in other sections, get out of your seat and walk all the way around the park. I do not like sitting down in a plastic seat for the entire game. At the Rate, the outfield concourses are open air - no upper decks. It almost has the feeling of a Spring Training game where there is a picnic feeling in the outfield. Terry Savarise was responsible for choosing many of the design elements at the then new Comiskey. He asked the Architects to model the outfield based on Dodgers stadium. Personally, I would never consider going to a game if I had 500 level seats. IMO, that is overflow seating. If one cannot afford a 100 level seat I understand the budgetary reasons, but personally, I would rather watch on TV than sit in a bad seat for the entire game For the architectural firm that is tasked with designing a new stadium, there are several things to consider including constraints from whatever site is eventually chosen. A stadium with outfield concourses like the Rate or Dodgers Stadium would require a relatively large footprint. If the design has upper decks all around or something like the Green Monster, a lot more seats could be fit into a smaller stadium. Historically, the original Wrigley and the original Comiskey did not have outfield upper tanks. Comiskey added those a few years later to increase seating capacity and of course , an enormous LF scoreboard was added by the Ricketts. Cub fan Paul Sullivan was among those who felt that the huge, imposing scoreboard in LF really detracted from the classic CF scoreboard and the vintage look of Wrigley. Maybe some here recall watching home runs hit on and over Waveland back in the day and Brickhouse announcing "Hey-Hey!" Gone are those days. Hypothetically, if the Sox build in Armor Park and take down that old Armor Park field house, customers in front of Turtles and Cork & Kerry would revel in catching some HRs.
  7. What stadium is pictured in your post?
  8. Sam's batting stance looks like his is all coiled up and ready to strike like a rattle snake. I am guessing that he has some HR power in there. Hope we sweep the 😇again in CA. Wish I could get out there to catch a game on this road trip. Weather has been kind of blah here. Cold rainy town.
  9. Kyle's hamstring injury occurred on March 10, 2026, so it has been about 7 weeks now. I was concerned when I heard that there was a setback. Not sure what that referred to but an imminent rehab assignment is not being talked about any more.
  10. I have a few questions about this including how and why it was generated. -The article mentions that the stadium in this rendering was designed for the "78." Ishbia or someone on his team reportedly had questions about whether or not a stadium could fit between Wells and the Railroad tracks. Do you have exterior dimensions of the stadium and a site plan with basic dimensions? -Having attended games in the lower deck at the old Comiskey, Wrigley and Tiger stadium, I recall that some sections in the lower deck do not see much sunshine. You look up and you see metal trusswork and decking. At Wrigley your view might even be obstructed by a steel post. As far as upper decks in the outfield with a large overhangs, once again, that comes at the cost of obscuring sunshine and obscuring exterior views. -the outfield concourses at the Rate can be accessed from the entire 100 level. Instead of getting stuck in your seat you can walk all around the park, meet or make friends out there and enjoy food and beverages. I would like that in any new stadium. I have other questions, but I will leave them for those on a higher pay scale so to speak. Good effort though. FYI, Brian Powers has a very interesting site that virtually recreates views at Comiskey: https://bandboxballparks.com/services/
  11. If the Sox won both of the 10 inning losses preceding this game to sweep the Nats they would have a 5 game winning streak and there would be a different vibe among fans right now. Just have to stop blowing late leads and losing close games. So it was great to watch a 7 run 7th, the Angels bullpen implode, and of course,Yoan Moncada suck it in the clutch.
  12. Decent defense all around , especially Tristan Peters, but several balls just beyond the reach of Antonacci, Vargas, and Montgomery. A lot of luck in this game for both sides but HRs erased another terrible start by Kay and a shaky bullpen. If/when Teel comes back, our line-up is gonna hit a lot of 'em. Beautiful doggers out there tonight. Thank you to all the Sox fans who brought their little pals out.
  13. This thing is starting to look like another late inning L.
  14. Please no Santo Domingo in the 9th. Win this one for the remaining fans and their patient dogs.
  15. You are so funny like a lot of weather people.
  16. Just waiting to hear and doing a rain dance. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=rain+dance+guess+who#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:d7e6065b,vid:UE1H_EAIMCk,st:0
  17. Worst case scenario, I hope that the hamstring injury as originally diagnosed will not eventually require surgery to repair. The other concern I have is that Teel's aggressive approach to rehab may have only delayed the healing process. My speculation arises because we have been told that Teel would be going to Charlotte for rehab after this series or the other, he is still in the dugout, and that he has experienced some degree of pain when he runs. Some additional clarity would be helpful but I understand that rehabbing a hamstring is not an exact science.
  18. Merk said: "The current rain, which has yet to arrive, is projected to clear the area at 8 p.m. More information as it becomes available." That sounds fair. So by 8 pm at the latest they should know.
  19. Is that your opinion or did you get that from White Sox sources? I want to watch tonight so I was hoping they play. The weather app I have looks like there is a sufficient window of no rain after 7 pm, but I know that doesn't mean much.
  20. Oh I get it. You are so funny cauli.
