Reinsdorf owns the network. He bought Stadium last year. A Reinsdorf sycophant is running the network. I don't know what part the Wirtz family is playing in all of this, but it sure doesn't seem like much.

The website is being used to show how absolutely incompetent they are, at even the most basic aspect of a network launch. This is a website that high school kids all around the country are making better versions of on a daily basis. Let that sink in for a minute.

Technically, the website is up. Though, it's basically just a poorly executed copy/paste from the placeholder website. Just amateur hour, like I said.

Streaming options are really not that difficult. Fucking minor league teams are able to figure this out. Plenty of teams have gone before them, and squared away the streaming options right off the bat. They're in over their heads, because, once again, nepotism rules the day. Stadium was a Mickey Mouse company, and they have the same guy running this, as they did Stadium. Just another poorly run Reinsdorf corporation, well behind the times. Nothing to see here, really. A functional, professional looking website might be the lowest hanging fruit possible, in 2024, by the way. The fact that theirs is so fucking amateur speaks VOLUMES to the quality of this venture.

It's 2024. What are the options to stream my favorite teams as of now? Oh, there are none? Cool, cool.

This network was likely launched as inexpensively as possible, with a bare bones staff. Because of course Reinsdorf would.

Lol. I spent three minutes on their new "website", and I've already found 4-5 errors. Don't get too excited. They went from something a high school kid in web design could create in a single class, to something that student created overnight for homework.... (yes, I have web design experience) They can't even proofread or QA before launching. The very first section of their FAQ says: "We recommend you visit this website for guidance on selecting and installing an antenna and scanning for channels." They forget the actual website/link. That high school student's grade just dropped to a B. Their OTA channel list isn't even up to date: Chicago, IL: WJYS, 62.2 and 62.3 Rockford, IL: (Coming soon) South Bend, IN: (Coming soon) Milwaukee, WI: (Coming soon) Grand Rapids, MI: (Coming soon) Des Moines, IA: (Coming soon) Champaign/Springfield, IL: (Coming soon) Paducah, KY: (Coming soon) Cedar Rapids/Davenport, IA: (Coming soon) Peoria, IL: WHOI, (Coming soon) Sioux City, IA: KMEG, (Coming soon) Quincy, IL: WTJR, (Coming soon) Indianapolis, IN: (Coming Soon) Gray Television’s CBS affiliate WSLN (Ch. 23) in Rockford and NBC affiliate WNDU (Ch. 16) in South Bend, Ind. were announced two weeks ago, and no mention on their "website". Now that student's grade is a C. I'll just stop there, as it's more than enough to prove my point. As I said, amateur hour bullshit.

It's nice that your standards are so low. Jerry appreciates customers like you. lol

It's just straight up amateur hour bullshit. Which is exactly what most logical people expected from a Reinsdorf run broadcast network. It speaks to the disaster this has been and will continue to be.

Yes, you are being a clown. Because the network actually launches...today. The point of my post is that the quote I referenced above originally said "Our official website will launch October 1st." and now it says "soon".

Not a single webpage that I could have created in 5 minutes? Please stop being a clown. This is right off their page: Our official website will launch soon as we strive to serve you as the best destination for Chicago sports fans. Here's the website for Altitude, the channel of the Nuggets and Avalanche: https://www.altitudesports.com/

It's just the placeholder that has been up all this time. That's not a website. It's a single web page. Lol

They have 3 days. Lol

The website went from launching October 1st to launching "soon". Couldn't even get the website finished in time. Lmao. What an absolute joke.

Lol wut?

Why should any of us feel any shame? We didn't build the worst team in baseball history. All I receive is pity nowadays when I say I'm a Sox fan. Nobody is making fun of Sox fans, they're commiserating with us.

Shut the f*** up.

Having read a whole bunch of his posts on this forum....I don't know about that.

If you asked me about being the worst team in the history of the sport, "I am OK with it." wouldn't be an option even if i was drugged out of my mind. Every single player in that clubhouse should be pissed off about it. It's never acceptable to be OK with losing, especially losing that much. The scene from Moneyball comes to my mind immediately. "That's what losing sounds like."

Good for him. Honestly, I might just pick up whatever team he ends up with as my team next season. Best thing that can happen to him is getting traded.

Just what potential teams want to hear from a free agent. Your team just set the record for most losses ever and "I'm OK with it." Some players are just losers.

He "does his own research". ™

Nepotism. We've seen the nepotism for 40 fucking years.

The vitriol towards him has to do with the fact that he's just more of the same. Another guy in the White Sox failing upwards. We've seen this all before. Perhaps hiring the guy whose failure to draft and develop talent got us here in the first place, was a terrible idea? He's clueless, which his moves this season have proven.

They will finish with an appropriate 123 losses. Which is fitting, considering that was the most common occurrence for their lineup this season.
