  1. Two different sources. Let’s hope Lip Man 1 is right. I’d hope they would raid the Dodgers and Rays. Or get a consultant to help with the search process. I’d love it, but I do doubt that it happens. Key word is internal. It’s also one source. Let’s let things play out. I have similar thoughts. McCaskey was the king of consultants and finally got a working pair (for now). It’s baseball, but the idea still applies. It’s a billionaire without knowledge of the game. They could conceivably hire a consultant and do an interview process similar to the Chicago Bears in 2022. His son did in fact hire outside of the organization and while it hasn’t panned out yet, it did happen and he did not go internal. Key word: Candidate. Not a done deal by any stretch. That was one of my thoughts as well.
  2. I want nothing more than to raise my son as a White Sox fan so he can enjoy the bond I had as a kid. I’m with you if my son chose otherwise.
  3. What if the new GM and leadership keeps him for one year and then cans him?
  4. This is what Soxtalk will b**** about if it actually happens. But a search for a new candidate to take over the ops like Theo Epstein did with the Cubs would be outstanding.
  5. Hopefully people on this board will understand that distinction, moving out of Chicago and remaining in Illinois is one thing, leaving the state for another city and state like Nashville, TN is another thing. There’s just no tie to Chicago at that point.
  6. Fine to leave the G Spot, but not fine to leave Chicago. The Nashville White Sox wouldn’t be the same, I’d be pissed like the A’s fans and probably couldn’t remain a fan without a Chicago connection. And I don’t see how the team gets contracted, they aren’t the Expos.
  7. That is fair, but consider the remaining games. Should Sosa and Perez start every game or most games?
  8. Tanking only gets so far in terms of the odds of the draft pick anyway. At some point you want to see the team win and members on future teams contribute in whatever role possible.
  9. On one hand, some fans are bitching about a win. On the other hand, it was nice to see a win and some hits by Sosa, Moncada and Colas.
  10. I’m aware of last night’s performance. Why throw him again tonight?
  11. Hendriks would have saved that game. Shaw might have gotten the save tonight with how much Santos worked last night. This is the result I expected with how this team has underperformed all season. The ballgame was starting to look concerning for me when they didn’t get runs with the bases loaded and nobody out and Madrigal got the bomb. The quote from Robert about leaders in a Tribune article today is concerning. The Cubs seem to have it, how do the Sox get that from players? Who goes and more importantly who fits the bill? The season will come to and end and hopefully we will know more about the team’s and org’s future.
  12. What it boils down to in an argument with Cubs fans is that in our lifetimes, each of us has only seen one World Series win. The difference is that the Sox went 11-1 in their postseason run, while the Cubs needed some luck.
  13. Here’s an observation that I would need to back up with more long term data. The White Sox do a good job of finding players like Santos or Middleton for the bullpen but miss a lot of high priced arms. I’d have to think of other examples of guys who don’t make a ton and travel around a bit but perform well for the White Sox.
  14. f*** the Cubs and some of their fans who happen to suck and be assholes! Nice pitching and Robert bomb to win a game the Cubs needed to have.
  15. I want to know if the reason they won’t do this is contractual and can’t get enough players to attend. Or if there is an issue with the price of the event that JR doesn’t want to pay and he doesn’t take in enough money. Or there isn’t enough fan interest. It doesn’t seem like not wanting to face the music is the only or main reason for not commuting to or doing the event.
  16. Fun to watch a guy who has had a long career come back from the minors come up to the majors and have some success even after being sent down.
  17. He may have had a point with earlier calls but that one was in the zone. As a former umpire I’m glad that Diaz gave Boone s%*# back. That’s how I handled it when it came to arguments, especially when there was personal attacks. To your point, you can’t argue balls and strikes.
  18. Contract the team? Unlikely, they aren’t the Expos. Moving the team when JR passes. More likely.
  19. Since you’re the expert, why not write to Boyer and guess Hahn’s and Grifol’s addresses and tell them what to do? I’m sure they’ll listen to you.
  20. Maybe they are coming in September… Okay. So write Hahn with your opinion and see what happens. Or maybe they’ll be September call ups.
  21. They are still in the top 5 for the draft pick and might only be in the top 3. 4th worst wouldn’t be an awful position for pick selection or pick selection odds. Who would you rather see play than Grandal or Andrus?
