  1. MC Hammer - Can't touch this..
  2. Mune shook up Messick but Doyle let him off the ropes. No knock out punch.
  3. Ant is so much better than Doyle in these situations.
  4. We have been getting some calls/..
  5. The option for anything to be built at 35th street would be foreclosed if a massive railroad repair, and switching yard is dug in from Cermak to 39th street. The scope of that project was even greater than Sox ownership and management anticipated, and in all likelihood far more intrusive and expansive than most White Sox fans can even imagine. IMO, the prospective future owner has gone down the wrong path. Now is the time to pause and take stock in what is best for the team and the fans, respect and defer to the history and traditions of the Sox on the South side for over 120 years. No owner would have even suggested moving the the Yankees or Red Sox to a train yard because they had an option to buy a substandard parcel there. Shovels in the ground? There is no approved site plan or building plan so forget that 77. And as the self-appointed expert here on new stadiums tell me how the railyard plan compares to recent stadiums - baseball or football. Your urgency to get shovels in the ground before objections to the rushed plan speaks volumes. And this, in the midst of a play-off run.
  6. I don't understand most of the negative opinions about Schriffen. For example, he asked Stone if a hitter should be given the green light on 3-O. What was he supposed to do? Say nothing? OK. After he was criticized for that on-line, he stopped doing it, and that in itself became awkward - catering to the whims of internet sports forum warriors. Then the criticism about not gauging the distance of deep fly balls. Actually he was far better at that then Benetti. Then the "South side, stand up" OK, it was wonky but honestly, I admired the deference to the South side and it took balls to do that. Schriffen walked through the parking lot pregame to interact with Sox fans who were tailgating. Anyone have issues with that? Now, he made mistakes that some found unacceptabl. Others just do not like him personally or hate him for whatever their reasons. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Mine is that I don't think that he committed a firing offense (including his reference to Samurai swords) but if the majority of posters on this forum dislike him, then he probably should not be signed to an extension. After all, this place is the authority on all matters White Sox and management should defer. I demur.
  7. Even JR has been pleasantly surprised by what Getz and the players have done to turn this team around, and he was surprised to get a letter acknowledging that from the Pope. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/depressing-white-sox-owner-reveals-034541597.html The Catholic Church may have a new member after Wednesday night. Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf, shortly after the franchise won their first playoff series since 2005, couldn't help but think about the letter he received from the Pope earlier this week. "Imagine a Jewish kid from Brooklyn getting a letter from the Pope," he said, via ESPN's Jesse Rogers. "I'm going to convert," he added, joking.
  8. McDonald's soccer stadium isn't scheduled to open until 2028. What is perhaps more newsworthy is the new Ryan Field scheduled to open for the next Northwestern home game. The stadium is a work of art. It is obvious that many hours of thought and design went into it. Meanwhile, Ishbia employed a different, protracted and flawed process in his attempt to move the White Sox from the Southside to the "Railyards" What a joke..the Railyards? How about White Sox Park ? No matter, the concept is fundamentally flawed anyway. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattdurot/2024/04/09/this-main-street-billionaire-bought-over-a-thousand-small-businesses-and-never-lost-a-dime-justin-ishbia/ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/sep/04/private-equity-boom-hospital-job-layoff
  9. One strategy against an opponent with key offensive players is to try to limit their impact or as some say, don't let them beat you. The White Sox were successful in limiting Yordan Alvarez (1 for 7) in the Houston series. Likewise PCA went 0-7 against the Padres. Sox have to limit damage from Rocchio in the Cleveland series. I am sure the Sox pitching staff is focusing in on that player in particular.
  10. Soccer stadium luxury seat info.. today? Please...
  11. South side celebration was not heard up in Winnetka. Dude doesn't acknowledge anything or anyone "South side." Ishbya had nothing to do with the White Sox this season, not spending one cent on the team, but some want to svk his dik anyway because they hate the South side as well.
  12. Some feel that Sam should not be in LF but he is too valuable to platoon. He makes things happen. Even a walk or HBP can provide a necessary spark to the offense. I love how he frequently goes oppo for a hit instead of trying to pull for power. I think most of his defensive lapses have been due to inexperience or to mental mistakes. He's gonna get better.
  13. HouStros fans don't seem like they are into this WC round like we are.
  14. Colson just sucks when it comes to situational hitting. Great that he hits homer runs but the GIDP is awful. A fly ball there gets another run.
