Hats off to all of the TV and radio affiliates who aired White Sox games in 2016.  Hopefully Ft. Wayne and Des Moines (2 TV markets that aired Sox games in 2015) can be added in 2017.  The affiliate at Decatur, IL (Channel 23 WBUI) really needs to get it’s act together next season, or WGN Sports needs to find a better station in Central Illinois.  Only 10 Sox games were aired on WBUI, but the same channel aired the complete package of 45 Cubs games.  Apparently the decision maker down there is a Cubs fan who does not like the White Sox!

Go Big Game Shields

Look on the bright side...the sox are playing October baseball...he...he...he :*(

Shields 9 up 9 down. This is nice.

 

I'm at the game right now. Perfect weather for night baseball in October. Nice temperature. Not too hot or too cold. Decent size crowd for Rock 'n' Roll Night!

Anderson ending his rookie year on a roll....opposite of Beckham in 2009, who faded badly the last six weeks.

Buxton has killed the Sox last month

Shields 6.77 ERA in 22 starts with the Sox. Bye, Kenny.

 

If KW really does step down then the Shields trade immediately goes from awful to great.
