  1. No worries I'm sure one of our next three batting will pull through they're all studs remember
  2. We seem to like pitchers who are lumberwagons. See David Wells and Bartolo Colon to name a few
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. I think Kenny Williams needs to pull the old tip over the buffet table on the team
  7. What are the chances of getting fans to collectively chant Sell Jerry Sell?
  8. Classic meltdown, he speaks for all us Now does JR and Company care? Prob not
  9. I'll be elated if we score one measly run
  10. It's gonna mean hard work and sacrifice but I think they can pull it off
  11. Im with ya! As long as the parades over by 5 getting close to bedtime
  12. Im 63 I'm not sure I have 10 more trips around the sun!!?
  13. 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
  14. Its all a pipe dream
  15. Hes gotta be an upgrade. Hes a competent problem solver with a good resume Why would JR want this?
  16. If Pedro doenst drink he may want to start Its what our managers do
  17. 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
  18. Is 2 straight shutouts in our future?
  19. We suck down south we suck up north and now we can suck in the middle Have all our bases covered!!
  20. At last we are down 3-0, I'm in my comfort zone now
  21. I'll consider it a moral victory if we don't get shut out
  22. Will this be what 6 losses in a row? Im losing track Like a tree falling in the woods, does it really matter?
  23. Livin on a prayer by Bon Jovi
