  1. That is your opinion. I respectfully disagree.
  2. If the NE intersection of 18th and Canal could be acquired and a few train tracks re-routed, that would be a far superior location to the "78." That intersection is adjacent to the Schoenhofen Brewery Historic District which is on the National Register of Historic Places and one of the highest rated walking areas in the city (there is your "ballpark village"). Also, that would avoid any necessity to walk over a bridge to the "78" or the necessity to deal with Related or Auchi, who I believe is still the owner of that parcel. The shape of that parcel would work perfectly with a new park. The historic site would work well with a retro stadium with the arches and red brickwork reminding Sox fans of the iconic facade of Comiskey Park.
  3. LF arm is really not as important as a RF arm. Just hit the cut-off man. But the reason that Antonacci was brought up was to hit, and thus far, he hasn't. It looks like his timing is way off at the plate or maybe he is over-matched at this level. If so, I admit I was quite wrong about him. Maybe give him another series before sending him back down. Too many non-competitive at-bats in key situations, so he will only have himself to blame if they send him down.
  4. Deleted. I saw the stats; https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/video/munetaka-murakami-home-run-statcast-analysis
  5. Cauli: I am going to throw you into bubbly creek if you don't stop.
  6. The height of that home run to clear the CF batter's eye was impressive and fun to watch for Sox owls.
  7. I love the VU meters like on my old Mac power amp.
  8. Want a black Wagoneer with the McIntosh stereo and of course, my White Sox plates.
  9. Feels like we should be up by a a few more runs and that this game is still too close for comfort.
  10. I digress for a moment - I know these aren't Superbowl commercials but so far this year there a few that I just don't care for (replacing the original, iconic Dinah Shore version of "See the USA in your Chevrolet) and the sweaty dude squeezing a lemon in a Crown Royal cocktail with his elbow.....ewww.
  11. Should have been caught. LOL. Civale was out of gas..over 100 pitches.
  12. Sox 3 Acuna 1.
  13. Acuna breaks up the no hitter.
  14. I loath the prospect of the White Sox moving to the South Loop and abandoning their historic home in Armor Park at the whim of a Billionaire, but hey, I will be long gone when that happens so I should not care. Anyway, as a traditionalist (for example, I despise the proposed Trump Arch which I may live to see) I hope that a lot more thought goes into the design than that which went into Rate Field, or the laughable renderings that Related Development came up with. At least the AI generated rendering from Shore includes a more traditional White Sox stadium. "From the renderings, it looks like the ballpark is still on the 78 site, and the Amtrak site has the ballpark village. Also looks like there's a pedestrian bridge that says "Welcome to the home of the Sox." Yes, that looks to be the St. Charles Air Line Bridge, a bascule bridge with a big counterweight that is on the Amtrak site. The plan (walking over that bridge to get to the park) doesn't do anything for me, but whatever. And I am not sure what "ballpark village" means, but it likely is a commercialized office/retail zone with parking garages. Forget the tailgating /sprawling picnic/ grilling/ beer coolers. Cue Warren Zevon's "Night time in the switching yard."
  15. Steve Cohen (worth 20 Billion) is watering some "green shoots" for the Mets. Cubs bitchspanked his Mets 12-4 today for I think their 9th loss in a row.
  16. Dominguez blown saves and lack of control in key at bats make it clear that he should no longer be the Closer. Given that, the back end of the bullpen should be restructured with a different Closer - perhaps Tanner McDougal and Grant Taylor. Trading for Acuna was a mistake that is easy to fix. Just DFA him and move forward. Acuna can't hit, he can't catch fly balls or grounders, and he doesn't even look like a major league player out there. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/chicago-white-sox/news/luisangel-acuna-caught-fly-ball-white-sox-holding-piece-paper-mouth/507d74d4f78c323cf64eea23?utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=appeared_on
  17. It is early enough in the season to try to solve some issues and start winning games and that is what I think will happen.
  18. Sox got swept by a Division leading team that just swept the Yankees. Sox came up a bit short today, but could have won but for a few breaks. They can learn from mistakes and address the Closer role by first demoting Seranthony. Then replace him with Grant Taylor or fireballer Tanner McDougal. Learn from mistakes and keep moving forward. This team has a lot of good players. They can get better and become competitive.
  19. How many fucking times do you have to say the same fucking thing?
  20. Sox could have used a shred of luck - just an inch or two on Quero's ground rule double to keep it in the field or an inch or two on that line shot that tipped off Vargas' glove. Baseball is a game of inches and with a bit of luck the Sox might have won. The difference in this game, in my opinion, was in the top of the ninth facing Caminero. Caminero is their hottest and best hitter. He is a prodigious home run hitter. First of all, you do not throw him anything in the strike zone. Walk him intentionally or otherwise or better yet drill him, fine. He goes to first base but remember, he is a tank. They can pinch run for him but it would have to be with a pitcher because they did not have any position players left on the bench. Venable was asleep at the wheel. Anyway Big dude looked for it, got it and killed it. So now what-to-do? After two blown saves by Seranthony, Getz has to consider replacing him as our Closer ... either by Grant Taylor or with Tanner McDougal from Charlotte.
  21. Gotta run. Good luck on this one.
  22. Can't complain about losing this. Sox played and pitched OK against a better team that leads the AL East. Oh well...
  23. You can't allow the best power hitter to beat you. Better off walking him.
  24. This game is not looking good right now with Kay out. Bullpen will have to cover a lot of outs and Leisure has already been used.
