Great history, especially the 1906 World Series defeat of the Cubs. Historical note: A picture of "Southside Park" from 1907 shows that beautiful red brick/limestome building at IIT a few blocks to the NE. IIT sold it to a developer several years ago so not sure if he will take it down, leave it abandoned and vacant, or convert it into residential. It appears that he doesn't have the financial resources to rehab it since nothing has happened there for several years and it would take a lot of money to undertake a large project like that.

You are never going to please everyone. It's like politics, for example, some guys never liked and even hated Obama, and still do. The older generation announcers that became classics like Scully and Hawk are few and far between. The closest guy I can think of would be Dan Plesac, a great MLB pitcher who has a unique personality. Gordon Beckham, no. Fathom suggested Adam Amin who might be acceptable to Sox fans, but I don't know any more. Things have gotten a bit squirrely in the public arena over the last several years. Me, I don't really care who the announcer is. I recall my parents would tune to Cubs games on WGN to listen to Harry because they liked him. As a Sox fan I would cringe but whatever makes people comfortable in their own skin I guess.

I met some guy with a Sox hat from Lake in the Hills a few weeks back at Greek Islands. I was surprised that folks from far NW burbs travel to see the White Sox play, but good choice of a restaurant as a halfway stop.

The White Sox do not have not needed a new stadium (for 40 years?). I doubt some of the complainers have been to many games or parts of the Rate other than the cheap seats on the 500 level. The Rate is like many other stadiums, you get what you pay for. Personally, I take advantage of premium seating based on my age and financial ability, but there are many other areas in the park where fans can enjoy the outfield concourses...and I buy seats in the outfield (162,163) quite often. I love the location on the South side, easy parking next to the stadium, and not having to drive back downtown heavy traffic. Ishbia should leave the Rate alone for a while and focus on making the team and the neighborhood better. His priorities though are focused on his self-interests and expanding his personal wealth.

Like others am not happy with every baseball decision Reinsdorf has made over the years (especially to the extent he was responsible instead of Kenny and Hahn), but I have always been proud to be a White Sox fan, and more than ever now in 2026. One can assume that Ishbia has a better character than Reinsdorf (lol) or has the interests of the fan base as his priority, but what Ishbia is trying to do now is dripping with arrogance and self-interest.

Fvk off.

Adam Amin is an excellent announcer. Not sure he would want the White Sox job, but I don't know that. I have always been partial to "homers" - announcers that are or become like Sox fans...really biased in our favor and openly contemptuous towards the Cubs and other rivals like Cleveland.

That's pretty much how I feel. I will say that Schriffen is better than Connor McKnight on play-by-play, so I do not think Connor would be a good replacement. That is a tough job and as we can see, you are never going to please all fans.

Here we go again. Can't keep a lead.

Yea, it looks like he cut down his swing. At least he started somewhere.

Let's go!

It was a long night watching twin monitors with the Red Sox and the White Sox. Very frustrating.

Watching Colson strike-out, over and again, has gotten old. Maybe put Chase at short, Sam at second and Grichuk in LF or any other combination that keeps Colson on the bench. He is giving away too many at-bats without even getting contact.

Jo Adell who CLE picked up at the deadline, has helped them in their play-off run. Pisses me off.

Boston's line-up looked pretty weak. Barely 2 runs and that only after an 8th inning HR. Then they allow CLE to score what would become the winning run in the 9th. I did not check but was that 9th inning run against their Closer? Red Sox know they can coast into the playoffs and could care less about the White Sox. Meanwhile CLE smells blood.

Maybe Ishbia will step in to guarantee a big Contract. No, forget that. Not going to happen. Keep him for the arbitration years or until minor league guys like Bonemer and Roch step up.

Oh no, we don't want publicly owned stadiums and facilities. Lets continue to vector wealth inequality and usher in a new age of billionaire robber barons. Ishbia owns the most expensive home in Illinois while his brother has a mega mansion in Michigan and their father is maga wealthy. They own parts or all of major league soccer, baseball and basketball franchises. So you say that is good for everyone? OK then get ready to pay the prices they will charge and no, you will not have anything to complain about. Just look at what this guy is doing now if you have any question about that.

South side isn't about Reinsdorf and certainly not about Ishbia . South side means something to the White Sox community - a history here of hard working middle class people, many of whom immigrated in large numbers to the Delta and the South side. I am not Irish but several of my closest friends are. Many years ago they helped me understand what it meant to be a Southsider and a White Sox fan and it became part of who I am as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Side_Irish --Written by Tom Black, Tom Walsh, and Terry McEldowney A.K.A.

If you think the railroad yard can become a "prime" stadium district or anything similar to Wrigleyville, you are mistaken. The rail road yards lack historical significance to Chicago or the White Sox. It is in an industrial area with RR tracks running in and out of Chicago. Try virtually driving around that site on Google maps. The rail road tracks and yards were placed there for strategic reasons and should stay there. Ishbia, a Michigander and Michigan State alum, does not know Chicago or the South side as well as a lot of White Sox fans do. But that doesn't matter to a billionaire driven by greed and avarice and a desire to fulfill his billionaire bucket list - owning a baseball franchise and a baseball stadium to boot. Ishbia put the cart before the horse with his rushed decision to purchase land no matter how appropriate it might be to site a stadium. His plan to move a massive railroad yard (slated to move between Cermak and 39th street)is arrogant and outrageous. A flawed process often leads to less than desirable outcome. Greed often leads to personal wealth, but almost never to the benefit of others. You frequently refer to the stadium district around Wrigley with such envy. Go there,

Great to see Tristan back out on the field.

Stranded Vargas on 3rd with one out. Mune has disappointed.

Brazoban coming in? WTF

Fvk yea!

Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. A strikeout on a ball well outside the zone with bases loaded and then a hard grounder to Mune. Get some more runs please.....

get someoe up in the pen.
