The dogs taste exactly the same, which is good. My only issue with the beef is the bread doesn't seem the same. Also, when it opened like a month or so ago, they had no sausage on the menu for some weird reason. They just added the sausage and polish like 2 weeks ago.

It does not taste exactly like it does when im in Chicago but its damn close. Being able to have it anytime I want is worth that small trade off.

We FINALLY got a Portillo's here, I go like once a week.

There's absolutely players in MLB who don't love baseball and just play it because they are good at it and its a job that pays a ridiculous salary. That strikes me as Moncada. Sometimes I get that feeling about Robert as well, purely based off body language at times.

Probably because it hits a little differently when you put out the worst season in baseball history.

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to say that they thought they would be winning the division but the evidence to the contrary is JR adamantly saying they would not be rebuilding, Getz being hired because he is familiar with the organization and we wouldn't waste any time with someone else since this would allow for accelerated improvement, and also Getz throwing some shade at the AL Central being up for grabs every year. I think WE knew this team would be very bad, I don't think the sentiment is the same from the front office as far as last season was concerned.

There's really no evidence at all that the White Sox expected to finish last in 2024 going into the season.

You got to remember that a lot of people seem to think the White Sox knew they would finish last place last year. It explains why they made all the youth moves and let the kids play to try and develop. Oh wait, that's not really what they did at all.....

With the way FA contracts are trending, do you think we will ever see the White Sox sign a player to a 100+ million contract under JR ownership? Just assume he is the owner for 5 more years, it has to happen right?

He didn't mean you specifically though...

24-85 in non Corchet/Fedde games. How anyone can possibly think the rotation will be better off in 2025 is wild.

Of course he didn't win many games, this team had no offense and a terrible bullpen. He went 6-12 and the team went 9-23 in games started by Crochet. What do you think is going to happen now going from a front of the rotation all-star level pitcher to Davis Martin? The starting pitching this year will be considerably worse than last season, full of washed vets and young guys trying to develop. At least 2024 had Crochet and Fedde for the majority of the season.

Buckle up boys, this is going to be a rerun of last year.

Well he’s had setbacks and prolly starts the year on the IL so who even knows when we see him again.

I know your definition of legit prospect is “maybe one day this guy can make some starts at the big league level” which is pretty much a statement that could be made about every single pitcher in the system. When your #1 starter is either Davis/Burke/Cannon you’re in trouble. Burke was 7-22 with an ERA over 5.00 in his minor league career but his 3 starts in garbage time last season already has you locking him in as a solid, reliable rotation fixture next season. It’s crazy talk. I get you want to be the optimist guy but can you at least be realistic about it. Cannon is the only arm in the rotation at this point in time who has shown any glimpse of reliable and that’s a 4.5 ERA guy with no overpowering stuff.

No, I just don't think people like Shane Drohan should be included in any discussion about legit pitching prospects. If you just mean he's "a" prospect then sure, but that was not the nature of our conversation and you know it. Its questionable if this team even has 1 strong player on its 40 man roster, but you just declared that they have 5 strong starting pitchers headed into 2025. We definitely are not speaking the same language.

Man I think you're falling into the same trap you did last season when you touted the bullpen etc. This team doesn't even have 1 strong starter, the rotation is hot garbage man. I don't understand where this line of thinking comes from.

What an excellent post. I hope he does succeed because I have no other choice but to hope for that. Doesn't change the fact that he shouldn't have this job and has practically done nothing to warrant any form of support from the fanbase.

I can't even scroll through TikTok without seeing a video trying to prove some muffled audio in game is of the refs tipping off Mahomes hes about to get sacked or some dumb s%*# like that. Or its just over and over baseless claims of how the NFL is scripted.

Has to be the Chiefs. The amount of meatballs who truly think the NFL is rigged for the Chiefs is insane.

It's ok to be frustrated with your favorite team being the worst of all time and run by an unqualified GM. Its also ok if you don't care, but why do you find it necessary to try to dunk on everyone that does care?

No one expected a competitive team, we expected an actual hiring process to fix this mess of an organization and we didn't get it because the owner claimed he couldn't waste a year when that's what happened anyways. As a fan I would be much more at peace with this thing if JR had just fired everyone who had a hand in this and said "Sorry, we can do better than this" and made an effort.

lol Brian Peppers, that really takes me back.

Salary cap isn't going to fix anything. If its $80 / $250 the same teams that don't spend today will all be around $80 and the same teams that spend today will all be around $250. Maybe it helps some, but its not going to fix the Dodgers from spending as much money as they can. It just means that instead of the Dodgers getting all these guys now the Yankees, Red Sox, Mets etc. get some of them instead.

I can agree with you on the first part, there really is no scenario where an elite level talent just should be able to enter the league and just pick where they want to go.
