It's funny, basically the same reason I became a Sox fan is the reason I am quitting the White Sox. My dad came to this country in the 70s from Poland and quickly became a big baseball fan. For obvious TV reasons, he mostly watched the Cubs. But he got sick of how they were proud of being lovable losers and they always had some BS excuse of why they could never be good enough to win. So he became a White Sox fan. 40 years later, my life has come full circle. The White Sox are that team that is proud of being the little engine that almost could. "We're not cheap. Just unlucky. Woe is us."

How do you know they thought they couldn't develop his potential? They wanted to win now, traded for a top 5 starter, and guess what? They won now. Moncada's future be damned.

This is true. European soccer does work much differently than the American system as far as acquiring talent. As a side note, this led me to this hilarious Wikipedia tidbit about the Nets owner. ? Personal life[edit] Prokhorov has never been married and is acknowledged as one of the world's most eligible bachelors.[by whom?] Shortly after purchasing the Nets, he vowed to get married if the Nets had not won the NBA championship within five years. In July 2015, he rescinded the pledge, saying that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver had "taken his place" by marrying his fiancée in May.[61]

I just read a whole book about the last 25 years of the Premier League business wide and all the new owners. That's my last hope for the White Sox. A Russian oil tycoon, a shiek from the Middle East, somebody with a net worth in the 10 figures that just wants a play team in the States.

I think I'm done as a White Sox fan until JR is out of the picture.

But they won't have any albatrosses on their payroll during Jerry's age 90-93 years.

In the suburbs but still voted. That's Chicago politics at it's heart!!! ?

Looks like a three person race for the last two spots between Lightfoot, Preckwinkle, and Daley. Biggest shock to me is Joe Moreno is going down in the 1st ward.

When security steps in, "Mr. Hahn, you can enter but that 83-year old man with you who refuses to pay full cover price isn't getting in." Door shuts. Again.

I hope you buy yourself some nice $30 million gifts on your 92nd and 93rd birthdays, since those were more important than realistically trying to sign Machado and improving this baseball team you claim to care about so much.

Blackhawks and Bears media people seem to have no issue with being critical of the organization and maintaining access. (Dont follow Bulls enough to comment on them) Meanwhile, these beat writers are scared shitless of losing coverage to the city's least popular team.

The recent stretch was fun but I think strength of schedule was a big part of it. Getting beat by better teams on the schedule again. Piggybacking what you and Tony said, when Toews and Kane signed those monster deals, you kind of assumed if 88 was a MVP candidate and 19 was putting up a point per game, it would be enough to at least get you in the playoffs, but that's not even the case with this roster.

He started public feuds with artists who were willing to take NFL money to perform, then 10 days later took a cash settlement from the same league to keep his mouth shut about his battle. If you cant see the humor in that, I cant help you.

Alright guys, Im flying out to the Dominican for vacation tomorrow morning. I'm gonna rock my Sox hat, act inconspicuous and find someone that knows the Machados. I'll get the real scoop once and for all.

LOL. I hope he's giving some to all the people who turned down the Super Bowl job just for him.

Team Turbo and Nany all the way. Major man crush action.

Jeff Bezos is a way bigger crook and threat to this nation than the man in the White House.

Steroids keep you out of the Hall of Fame, but they still get you paid!

Sure, just to make greg happy.

Flacco continues to live off the incompetence of Rahim Moore on one single play.

Hey look, another Daley!

That or they are playing a far superior team after an easier portion of the schedule.

Me too. I'm glad I don't have to attempt to justify it in my head anymore.

I don't know where you stand financially, but you might want to think about consulting a lawyer that specializes in family law. So if you do go to court you can be sure there are no surprises and everything happens the way you are expecting it to. It might cost you some cash now, but can't put a price on piece of mind and it prevent any surprises down the line.
