4/5 Game Thread Sox @ Tigers 1200 pm
I would like to see JR and the Sox brass direct Getz to acquire decent players at almost any cost to get this team out of the hole they are in. Realistically, Rick and Kenny left a mess that will take years to clean up, and they wasted and made millions for themselves doing it. Baldwin reminds of Colson Montgomery in several ways - too tall and slinky to play infield, low baseball IQ, and plenty of swings and misses. On another point, it will not be soon enough when they bring up Chase Meidroth and Kyle Teel.

Arlington Heights making stadium pitch to White Sox?
What you believe will happen is just that, a belief. You make some well-intentioned presumptions like one billionaire sees a goldmine and therefore will acquire and operate a baseball franchise like you think it should be operated. I assume, that would be laying out hundreds of millions towards future player contracts....maybe land the next Ohtani beating out the Yanks and Dodgers. Maybe outspend the Cubs and outdraw the Cubs. Unfortunately you cannot be sure we can assume that this billionaire, a private equity specialist, is less greedy than the billionaires that currently control the team. Based on what I see, I think it is quite the opposite. Multiple choice question: Who built a 66,760 square foot mansion in that White Sox fan bastion on the North shore, Winnetka, IL for $70 Million: a. Joe Ricketts b. Warren Buffet c. Donald Trump d. Jerry Reinsdorf e. Justin Ishbia f. Mellody Hobson

4/2 game, they going to get the game in?
- 4/2 game, they going to get the game in?
Fvk Ishbia. Some treat him like some sort of potential savior of the franchise . Oh sure, he is going to do you as a fan some sort of favor by casting aside personal gain and private equity principles to gamble money on enormous player contracts. You think he is some kind of gaddamn fool? How did his probing for a majority ownership stake work out for Minnesota fans? In reality this guy is just looking for another deal to make himself wealthier. As Americans, we should all know by now that immense greed is a disease that spreads quickly among the billionaire class. You know a lot of these guys by name.- 4/2 game, they going to get the game in?
Yes, I admit that it is depressing to see how Minnesota still appears better than the Sox but no reason to stop trying to improve this team and win as many games as possible.- 4/2 game, they going to get the game in?
I'm against abuse of service time strategy and intentional tanking.- 4/2 game, they going to get the game in?
Not buying the service time arguments now or ever. Careers are short especially for baseball players. Nothing in the future in baseball or for that matter in life is certain. Put the best team possible on the field. The team can always keep/sign a player or trade him. You can't build a hypothetical roster in some future year based on keeping a few players until the end of team control.- 4/2 game, they going to get the game in?
You are watching and commenting on it.- 4/2 game, they going to get the game in?
Teel and Meidroth should come up IMO. An extra year of "control" means almost nothing given that this team needs every bit of help they can get right now. I would like to see Meidroth given a shot at second with Sosa at SS. Baldwin can hit HR but not sure he can hit for average. Defensively, he has had a few bad plays, including a key botched double play where he lost concentration. I'm just not sure about his defensive skill set as an infielder but time will tell. I just think Meidroth profiles better as a second basemen....at least IMO.- 4/2 game, they going to get the game in?
This game is a reminder that the Twins are still so much better than we are. It is really a punch in the gut to those of us that had some optimism left for this season. Ball buster. Three home runs already in our face at our park. Fvk us.- 4/2 game, they going to get the game in?
Onegame, but an important one at the beginning of this season. Let's go !- Stadium contract...
The article is unprofessional, un-sourced, lazy, sarcastic and pointless. It's not shocking that would be something you would find of value.- Stadium contract...
- Angels/Sox 3/29...
What about Thaiss not catching the pitch and then his errant throw to third which went into the outfield? I hate close late inning losses....too remindful of last season. Plus Man bun allowing Moncada to get a game winning infield hit. Jeezus H. Chryst.- Angels/Sox 3/29...
Thaiss basically lost the game. Can't wait for Kyle Teel to come up.- Eder, Fletcher DFA'd , Thorpe to the 60 day IL
Eloy fell far short of expectations but he wasn't the sole reason for the 100+ losses. I'm not going to re-litigate 2023, 2024 or try to score points with old arguments. Your calls and your tea leaf reads are useless braggadocio at this point. . This is 2025 and we are trying to look ahead. Can you?- Colas DFA'd. Greg Jones claimed
One of the things we noticed at the Home Opener was that our outfielders were all in great physical condition. Oscar Colas is not, he is a tank. That's not the kind of player Venable wants on this team.- That's an Opening Day Winner ‼️
Fans were generally shocked to see the first Opening Day win in 11 years. Lots of high fives among fans when Benintendi iced the game with that 3 run home run. We went to Bulls game after and that was epic. It will be a tough season for the Sox but that win meant a lot to me personally.- Opening Day Thursday 3:10 p.m. versus Angels (not the game thread, lol) Who's going???
Bears games at Soldier Field in November, December can be pretty rough.- Opening Day 26-Man Roster

I have not seen the lawsuit (Case no. 2024L009305) but would like to if anyone can gain a copy. The Clerk only publishes a summary of the Docket and does not make pleadings available on-line.- Who are you most excited to watch this year?
Stacey King, a member of the championship era Bulls, has been an incredible announcer who has really shined as the "baby Bulls, " as he calls them, continue to get better.- Who are you most excited to watch this year?
Oh yea, they are headed down. Actually, it's the opposite . Pass the hot sauce. Bang bang bang.- Who are you most excited to watch this year?
You sound angry or maybe too much coffee. Always try to look on the brighter side. That will illuminate once you open your mind and look for it. - 4/2 game, they going to get the game in?
