I dislike a few of these commercials they keep running.

No, the upcoming schedule is a concern, especially without Teel and Mune....and Braden.

Exactly. And 12 games in 13 days...this team looks a bit tired going into the toughest stretch in the schedule.

Don't help this guy out.

To buy or sell...
Peters has played gold glove defense. Offensively he has hit close to .300 and many of those hits have been in clutch situations. Vargas is hitting clutch bombs and hits all the while playing gold glove defense.. This team is more than I expected.

“The 78” is alive and well for the Sox, Bears are 'advancing' Hammond development
It appears that much of Ishbia's PE investments have been focused on nursing homes - leveraged acquisitions primarily designed to enrich PE firms. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&hs=4H0p&sca_esv=a28a64b1bac8ec5b&q=Nursing+homes+and+private+equity&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjD2em-9eiUAxV_4skDHbl2IrQQ1QJ6BAg_EAE&biw=1237&bih=556&dpr=2.07 https://www.elderneglect.com/the-growing-danger-of-private-equity-in-nursing-homes/ Nursing homes can drain family wealth, abuse Medicare and often provide shameful levels of care.

“The 78” is alive and well for the Sox, Bears are 'advancing' Hammond development
One of Notre Dame Professor Phillip Bess' ideas was to relocate Claes Oldenberg’s Bat Column to a terrace outside the park. As a Chicagoan who has driven by that bat dozens of times and liked the design but found it's placement awkward, I love his idea to repurpose it right next wherever a new Stadium is built. IMO, Ishbia's team would be wise to consult Professor Bess' previous works and writings on ballpark design.

6/1 Sox at Twins 640CDT gamethread
Pair of fours for Sandy and a Golden Sombrero for Gonzo. Sandelin should get one more start, but he will probably be on a shorter leash. Gonzo needs to hit a few bombs.

“The 78” is alive and well for the Sox, Bears are 'advancing' Hammond development
You probably should have reviewed the content of my posts before erroneously characterizing them. The here and now is the 2026 White Sox. That was my point. I see that 77Hitmen endorsed your post . How many posts does he have on this thread? He lives somewhere near Naperville and would prefer taking the train into the loop rather than driving to 35th Street. OK. I live in the far SW suburbs. ...would never consider taking a train downtown for night games and enjoy parking outside the stadium and tailgating. I have questioned the viability of the 78 site. My opinions have always been well reasoned yet seldom countered with a similar degree of thoughtfulness and thoroughness. Moreover, I suggested a site that is a short distance from the 78 (on the NE corner of 18th and Canal ) which I feel would be a good alternative. I thought the 78 site might have made sense back when Phillip Bess suggested it (1987) along with Armor Park but when I look at the proposed site plan (below) , the dimensions just seem impractical. Too narrow IMO.

White sox culture
If Mune wasn't injured this team would probably be able to compete with the best teams. Now it will be a tough 6-8 weeks which, if things don't go well, could derail what has been a pretty good season. Unlike some others, I hold no personal grudge against Jerry Reinsdorf and frankly, I find it to be extremely counter-productive. Why does the hatred for Jerry Reinsdorf even come up during what has been a very entertaining and successful season?

White sox culture
This is Jerry Reinsdorf's team. Getz and Venable were hired by Jerry. New tools and personnel for player development, Scouting, Drafting and the Spring Training facilities, are all under the control and discretion of Jerry Reinsdorf. If you really hate Jerry Reinsdorf there is nothing that prevents you from stepping away and not backing this team and this franchise. You can't have things both ways.

What stadium proposal? Building the stadium in back of the soccer stadium and walking over the RR bridge to get there? Beyond impractical and probably unrealistic. Anyway, Ishbia is just fishing for ideas to maximize his profits, all while he doesn't currently own a controlling share of the White Sox and , as far as I know, has not closed on the Contract for the Amtrak yard. Who knows, maybe he will buck out like he did with his ownership interest in the Twins. It depends on what deal might enrich him the most...or not. I choose to focus on the here and now - the very likable and exciting 2026 White Sox which he has nothing to do with. Anyway, White Sox aren't going anywhere for a long time. Relax, strap it down, and watch baseball.

5/31 gamethread 1:10 CDT Sox go for sweep of kitties
Great win by Jerry's Boys. So many great things to say about it. Vargas going into the stands to catch a fly ball reminded me of Juan Uribe..

Move the Bears to the 78.

Mune Injury Watch
Mune's absence during June and July could really upset the season in terms of wins, and if things go South, in attendance and fan interest. Every player and pitcher needs to step it up. There is enough talent to hang in there until Mune comes back.
