Lip Man 1

By the way the last story tonight on the national CBS Evening News was about them winning the game and possibly offering hope after last year's disaster.

Game recap from the Sun-Times, it appears that have someone to replace DVS who retired: https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2025/03/27/white-sox-ready-to-embrace-clean-slate-after-opening-day-blowout-win

Impressed with Schiffren seemingly toning down his over the top philosophy from last year. Hope it lasts longer than a week.

First Sox home win to open the season since 2014. Can you cancel the rest of the season now? 😆 Here is the game recap story from the Tribune: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/03/27/chicago-white-sox-los-angeles-angels-opening-day/

Tribune did a nice job, with lots of photos: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/03/27/vintage-chicago-tribune-white-sox-125th-season/

It's the White Sox way. Stupid is as stupid does.

Story in the Tribune today stated that it is believed a deal has been struck BUT Comcast is waiting to finalize a deal with Marquee Network before moving both to the most expensive tier and the Sox willingness to air games for free over-the-air is still an issue.

I'm right there with you, all you can do is hope because the overall talent level is beyond bad.

Story says depositions are slated for May: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/03/26/shooting-at-white-sox-game-in-2023-still-a-mystery-with-new-another-season-opening/ This doesn't appear to be going away.

A sincere wish that all Sox fans have a good season, something to be proud of again instead of constant embarrassment. Miracles sometimes happen, the 1977 "South Side Hit Men" and the 1990 "Doin' The Little Things" White Sox come to mind. I'd absolutely settle for a season like those two. As far as the organization/franchise/front office/players? I hope they are still playing meaningful games after Memorial Day. Play Ball! ⚾

“We talk about some things specifically (in terms of team identity) that are really important to us. Defensively, first-step stuff, on the bases, maximizing our leads. But then it’s really about going out and competing. Executing plays is important, but how we go about doing it matters, right? We’re not going to make every play, that’s all right, we’ll continue to work. But we need to go out and play hard and compete. And if that’s the one thing you watch from us, then I’ll feel good about it.”---Will Venable. We'll see this season how the "fundamentals" play out. Hopefully better than the last several seasons maybe going back to 2012.

That is one pathetic roster for sure.
