  1. I think that is right. WGN radar indicates a possible window between roughly 2:30 - 4:30. Roger Bossard will know which way to go at some point but it is a tough call to make when they already have thousands of people in the bar.
  2. I have issues with the MOU (memorandum of understanding) between Reinsdorf and Ishbia and the lack of transparency from both sides. Lecturing? You mean calling a poster "son"? And speak for yourself (as I have asked you to do many times) instead of seeking to inflate the gravitas of your opinions, including your latest post which intentionally misrepresented facts. It isn't my problem that others may not feel they have any say in what happens to the White Sox franchise based on the memorandum of understanding and some contingent contracts to acquire and swap land. And your opinion that I alone are concerned about the White Sox moving (because you think I live near there) is false and entirely misguided. But anyway, I am not going to engage know-it-alls so proceed.
  3. Not relevant at this time and for this discussion.
  4. Presumably then you understand how Private Equity Investors love to manipulate and leverage debt for their own benefit, and that is precisely what Ishbia is doing. Not one red cent out of his pocket to pay for anything and no involvement in the operation of the organization. However, the end of the yellow brick road is nearing. The curtain has to be pulled back now so Ishbia can address the concerns of some fans and players like Murakami that may be planning to leave after his 2 year contract is up. Instead, Ishbia(Shore Capital) has a contingent Contract to purchase the Amtrak rail yard and one of his LLCs has applied for a Federal loan to relocate the Amtrak rail yard. I may not be the only person in Chicago that has issues with what this guy is doing, but feel free to make that preposterous allegation on an internet forum. Go ahead.
  5. PEI 101: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=How+do+private+equity+investors+leverage+debt%3F
  6. I understand the stats. IMO, it makes no sense to sit him on the bench every time a team has a LH starter. As far as leading Chase off in stead of Sam against LH pitchers, I see your point.
  7. LOL, his "contributions" will be exchanged for newly issues shares. LMFAO Classic PEI move making a leveraged buyout more likely even prior to the expected timetable. All of Ishbia's moves appear absolutely Trumpian. Maybe, as one poster suggests, he names the new stadium "Shore Capital Park". Gotta love that mansion he and his wife have on the North shore complete with horse stables. What a grifter.
  8. White Sox pitching should take advantage of the Guardians in the next 6 games or for however long they will be without Jose Ramirez, Chase DeLauter, and Angel Martinez. Ramirez has been a thorn in the side of White Sox pitching as all Sox fans know... Guardians line-up looks pretty weak right now. Shut them down and sweep the series.
  9. "batting splits are for the entire game when the starter was LH or RH. These splits include any subsequent plate appearances against a reliever regardless of their throwing hand." So....when an opposing team deploys a LH starter , his split BA goes up to .325 (Baseball Reference.com) That, and the fact that Venable wants some of the young players like Chase, Colson and Sam to face good starting pitchers no matter if they are LH or a RH. My own opinion is that Chase, Antonacci and Peters are gamers and therefore, I like them in the line-up whenever they are able to play.
  10. Provide a link with some evidence to support your statement. While Ishbia, like any minority shareholder can invest or personally agree to take on debt (which ss a PEI, Ishbia is an expert at), I have not read that Ishbia is "bailing out Jerry." It sounds like another meme.
  11. Ishbia is free to underwrite a large contract extension for Mune. Apparently he is leaving that decision up to Reindorf, a cheap greedy owner according to numerous Sox fans. As far as Ishbia being greedy and manipulative, look no further than the shenanigans he and his wife pulled in Winnetka. I find those people to be rather despicable.
  12. Stop with the attempted comparisons with Madrigal. Two different players,
  13. Chase is not going anywhere. What a great player.
  14. SS2K: As I stated, JR had no process that included fan input or the concerns of local businesses or the community....and there is none now. I think you agree. Hypothetically, IF I had Ishbia's money (I would be retired) , in addition to focusing on building a new stadium and entertainment district I would work with the current majority stockholders including, (yes, the demon himself, JR), to sign/extend the outstanding players as necessary to solidify the core moving forward. I do not want to lose Mune to the Dodgers , Yankees etc.
  15. Wishes? Wishes are like hopes and dreams and prayers - they only reside between ones ears. Truth is real. That which is not real does not exist. The truth of the matter is that Ishbia is far along in the process of moving the White Sox. That is almost a done deal. Just like when Reinsdorf decided on a new stadium design and location for the White Sox, there was no process that included fan input or the concerns of local businesses or the community. This is business for this guy. Big business. Forget about anything else.
  16. Ishbia isn't cheap like Jerry (lol) but he is a greedy son of a b**** PEI who does as he pleases and gets what he wants (e.g., see how he built his Winnetka mansion). Rest assured, Ishbia will move the Sox from their South side home. I recently read that one of his Delaware LLCs (Canal LLC or something like that) has applied to take advantage of a $380+ million dollar Federal loan to relocate the Amtrak rail yard to one of the parking lots at Rate field. So he is beyond the point of considering alternatives as you suggest. The only remaining question for him seems to be whether the stadium will be built on the East side or West side of the Canal.
  17. You sound angry. What a fvked up post.
  18. Sox should have charged the mound when Montero threw at Acuna. That was Bulshit.
  19. What about the regression you expected?
