  1. No good reason.
  2. 4 run lead is not enough in the 5th inning. Too many outs to get. I would have left Davis in but let's see.
  3. Braden second double in two days. Both clutch hits.
  4. To paraphrase Ruthie Polinsky: "Run the damn table!"
  5. Make me fuking laugh. Ishbia is absorbed with his rail road project.
  6. This is Schriff and Reinsdorf's fault.
  7. Burke now under pressure. Damn.
  8. Jobe dominating. Hard to watch all the strikeouts he is getting.
  9. Benetti is happy.
  10. That's a bulshit excuse.
  11. Maybe Noah starts tomorrow? Oh boy,,
  12. You can't win many when you give up 11 runs and what 16 hits or something like that? That was a painful beat-down.
  13. I just saw Ishbia holding is kid in the front row on that Teel tag.
  14. Baez hates the Sox
  15. worried about Tristan.
  16. Bad vibes here.
  17. My guess is that no word yet on Peters could be bad news. I hope not. What a great player and key member of this team.
  18. Peters was rubbing his shoulder.
  19. This game is looking like a potential ball busting loss.
  20. Looked like a shoulder. Terrible.
  21. The idea that he should have been fast enough to get to the ball is one take, but his positioning leads to another conclusion. Sam took a gamble - he wanted to get a jump on what he thought would be a ball hit in the gap. Rocchio saw where he was playing and dumped a fly ball toward the line. I like Sam from the moment I saw him play in the WBC, but he needs to be reigned in a bit with certain overly-aggressive or foolish moves - like throwing his elbow out at players on the bases. He reminds me a bit of how Pete Rose played, all-out all the time.
  22. It was a semi-clever strategy to frame the issue around Bridgeport as though Bridgeport is the "Southside" as in "Southside White Sox." No. Then to target Bridgeport residents as above. And they deserve this from a billionaire only interested in satisfying his own agenda? There is no immediate need for a new stadium and no need to demolish a stadium that belongs to IL taxpayers. The degree of urgency to replace a solid publicly owned stadium with a privately owned stadium speaks for itself. Ishbia's first priority should have been on improving the team instead of running amuck with this absurd plan. In addition, Ishbia could have purchased property surrounding the Rate and developed it in order to enhance the gentrification of the area. The area and the stadium could benefit from construction of new residential buildings, bars, restaurants and shops. Instead, Ishbia decided to acquire land to build a park he will own. But all he could find on his self-imposed timetable was a substandard tract in a RR yard which he was confident that architects could design a stadium to fit. The reverse logic there is flawed and his miscalculations abound. The result of rushing to build on that parcel (as depicted in the renderings) looks horrendous, i.e., 3 or 4 decks, enclosed pedestrian bridges spanning a street and adjacent railroad tracks, and wall in RF that appears to be driven by a mistaken notion that the canal /RR location would remind fans of Oracle Park - but here hitting the ball into dirty canal water. Ishbia's rail yard is a junk yard compared to Oracle or the upcoming Athletics stadium in Vegas. He should pause, keep the WSox at the Rate while considering other alternatives. Of course Chicago is not on the ocean but please, look at the railyard rendering. What a joke. It's awful. Take a timeout Ishbia and perhaps a project that would not require a rail yard at Rate field or a stadium next to RR tracks will emerge.
  23. I will be in Section 163 and hanging out in the outfield concourse with a few friends. We had these seats before the last few series. I usually attend the last home game as well to thank the players. A lot of good players and good people on this team.
  24. That is your opinion and you are welcome to it. See you at the game...or at the meeting tonight?
  25. What would be there when a massive rail yard and train repair facility is there? Drive by the CN rail yard in Harvey. Look around it. Is this good for IIT or the numerous properties West of the stadium that have seen millions of dollars of improvements?
