With that porous offensive line can you blame them? Crucial huge mistake by the front office, you have a possible franchise quarterback and you surround him with five sacks of you know what.

Remember JR's motto, "fiscal responsibility is more important than winning..."

Some would argue the bolded point including recently in an interview Tony LaRussa.

Burns did go into the 10th and gave up Landrum's home run.

Just got an e-mail from the Sun-Times last week reiterating that they no longer had a paywall. I make a 25 contribution every year myself but that shouldn't impact the e-mail they sent.

The pay wall has been down for two years.

It’s imperative that this hire plays out better than that one. Venable will have lower expectations to win than Grifol did after inheriting a team supposedly built to compete in the American League Central. Getz is giving Venable a team that’s likely built to lose, but that doesn’t mean Getz won’t feel the pressure. It’s on him to remove the Sox from the state of disarray the rest of baseball sees. https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2024/11/04/white-sox-gm-chris-getz-under-growing-scrutiny-entering-second-year-in-charge

One of the last interviews he ever did was with Paul Sullivan of the Tribune. In it Dick said if he ever got in he wanted to be wearing a White Sox cap.

Based on numbers Dick should have been admitted years ago when he was still alive. Twice he's missed induction by a single vote, hopefully the third time is a charm for his family.

I'd be surprised given their schedule if they win seven games.

Thanks to this new deal, the Royals are bringing the key players of that rotation back, with Wacha, Seth Lugo, Cole Ragans and Brady Singer all returning in 2025. Lugo is in the second of a three-year deal he signed last winter (with an opt-out after ‘25), while Singer is in his third year of arbitration. https://www.mlb.com/news/michael-wacha-royals-3-year-contract

"Eberflus’ team looked sloppy and undisciplined in the loss to Arizona, and it doesn’t take much sleuthing to deduce that the coach’s refusal to handle the Stevenson matter firmly and head-on played a role in a lethargic effort." https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2024/11/03/karma-comes-for-soft-matt-eberflus-chicago-bears-tyrique-stevenson-caleb-williams-hail-mary

Like with the White Sox and Bulls NOTHING changes until ownership does, period. The Bears did everything they could to try to help Williams, except of course the most important thing for a young quarterback, a good offensive line. They are an absolute joke. They'll beat New England then get hammered by the rest of their schedule. They may win two more games, maybe. Then Eberflus will get fired in the off season and another worthless stiff will be brought in. This off season the Bears need to go out and sign the top three free agent lineman regardless of what that costs.

This is the incompetent, dysfunctional and inept White Sox organization. Never say never.

Bellinger reups with the Cubs, will not exercise his out option.

They "tired" for Machado by thinking signing friends of his would convince him to take a low ball offer. 😆 Typical White Sox, JR has to "win" every negotiation and abhors the fact that quality players make what they do.

110 losses instead of 121...progress baby!!!

This was a difficult read because of the lack of spacing but most of your points are valid but keep in mind Mayor Harold Washington said the ONLY way he and his members of the stadium authority would allow money to go to the White Sox were if the stadium was built opposite of where Comiskey Park stood. When Addision voted "no" literally by a single vote, JR was stuck with his thumb up his rear end. The next owner will deal with the Sox situation but I continue to feel they aren't going anywhere. New ownership won't have poisoned the political and fan base wells and again MLB can get far more money for an expansion team then by moving an existing one.

Actually it makes perfect sense. Ownership doesn't feel with all their national and international revenue streams for MLB which are shared as well as local broadcasting/advertising deals they have made enough profit since the pandemic. So... You as a Sox fan will get nothing and like it. Remember JR's operating philosophy, "fiscal responsibility is more important than winning..."

I can assure you they have, but the problem was and maybe still is, they always found outside things to blame instead of looking in the mirror starting with JR.

Only if he can stay healthy and start hitting the ball in the air more. Someone will take a chance on him I guess but I wouldn't expect much given his track record.
