We seem to like pitchers who are lumberwagons. See David Wells and Bartolo Colon to name a few

The End of the Big Lie
Living in rural NW Illinois back then and trying to pull in the game on the radio was super challenging, my Dad bought some gizmo that plugged into the wall outlet, it acted as a antena, it was about 5 inches high and was looked like a cylinder. It helped a bit but kinda sucked. So I do recall those early days of Harry Carey on some obscure radio station whos call letters I dont remember

The End of the Big Lie
I pasted from wikipedia page below, sorry Im not hi tech enough to do it any other way, point is JR didnt care even back then In October 1988, the station filed a lawsuit against the White Sox club to terminate its television contract with the team, which was set to last through 1991, accusing team owners Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn of "gutting and stripmining the [...] team of salary investment, player quality and fan goodwill", which resulted in a decline in viewership for the games and profit losses for the station on the contract (WFLD's profits from the telecasts slid from $1.5 million profit in 1985 to a loss of $1.4 million in 1988, resulting in the rights fees costing four times more than the accrued revenue; ratings during that three-year period also dropped from a 5.1 share in 1985 to a 1.7 in August 1988) as well as breached advertising agreements with the Chicagoland Dodge Dealers consortium.

The End of the Big Lie
IIRC didn't WFLD TV want to sue the SOx in maybe 1988 to void their contract as nobody was watching them on TV? Gotta wonder if same will happen this year

Theo likes a challenge but I doubt he'd even consider this train wreck, its like trying to climb Mt Everest in sandals OTOH if JR sweetened the pot which he wont do

Are the 2023 White Sox the worst Sox team you've ever seen?
I was 10 yr old then and remember how bad we were. Don Gutteridge was the skipper. And my first trip to Comiskey was when the infield was actually astroturf IIRC and was a funky colored green But Im digressing, this current team is unlikeable and unwatchable
