  1. Willie Wilson is running for Mayor of Chicago. He realizes that the Bears are going to move to the suburbs. Wilson has said that Chicago should get another NFL team and have them play in Soldier field.
  2. Hope Hahn acquires another starting pitcher. A lefty starter if possible.
  3. Wirtz is a White Sox fan and part owner of the White Sox. (He owns a small percentage of the White Sox) Wirtz actually goes to some White Sox games. He actually likes baseball more than hockey. People who work for the White Sox have speculated for years that he wants to be the owner. We shall see. I'm sure that JR already knows who will buy the White Sox from his family.
  4. There have been rumors for years that the Wirtz family will be the next owners of the White Sox. They would then build a stadium near the United Center.
  5. In the mid 1980s, the City of Chicago wanted to build a new stadium for the White Sox in the South Loop at Roosevelt and Clark. (Now known as block 78) JR rejected the offer and wanted the new stadium built in Addison, where he owned the land. That South loop location is still open. Maybe the next ownership will build it there.
  6. 1) Will the Angels ever outdraw the Dodgers? Will the Mets ever outdraw the Yankees? Will Oakland ever outdraw the Giants? 2) Will the White Sox ever outdraw the Cubs? As long as the White Sox play at this present location in this present stadium, probably not. Building this stadium at the present location was the biggest mistake in the modern history of the franchise. Then they built a stadium where nobody wants to sit in most of the upper deck. If the Cubs played at the present White Sox stadium does anybody really think they would be drawing like they do now? 3) I'm hoping when this team gets new ownership a new stadium will be built in a more popular location and the stadium will have a upper deck that fans will want to sit in. 3) I think the present stadium lease runs out after the 2028 season. It will be curious to see how this plays out.
  7. Its been a tough year. This winning is certainly more fun.
  8. Lopez has said a number of times that he wants to be a starter in the rotation. I wouldn't be surprised if he wound up back in the White Sox starting rotation next year.

    JR

    Most teams are down attendance wise. Inflation, gas prices are brutal. I've never seen anything like this in my life. I'm under the impression that alot of people are living on their credit cards. White Sox are going to draw between 1.8 million-2 million which isn't bad considering everything.

    JR

    It would be easier to replace the manager than change the team. All I know, something has to be done.

    JR

    It seems like JR has disappeared from the scene. He doesn't give interviews anymore. He was the one who hired TLR. I can't help but wonder what JR thinks of this present team. Assuming he has been watching these games, he has to be upset. I can't help but wonder what if anything is going to be done. I find it hard to believe that nothing is going to be done to correct this situation. The team not only has a losing record, the team is dull.
  12. Being at yesterdays game was alot of fun. Most games I've been to this year have bored me to death because of the lack of hitting. Having Eloy in the lineup producing helps the team tremendously. Hopefully he can continue hitting and the team will be in the hunt for the playoffs. I'm hoping the White Sox become buyers instead of sellers at the dealine.
  13. 1) I wrote JR a few letters in the past requesting to be interviewed for the GM job. I never heard back from him. Perhaps I should write him another letter. 2) Assuming this team doesn't get into the playoffs this year this off season could get very interesting. From what I can see you could probably get a good return for the following players: Anderson, Vaughn, Robert, Cease and Hendriks. I wouldn't be surprised if they moved Anderson.
  14. I'm glad to see Eloy come back. Perhaps he can provide some power for this team. The team is boring to watch. Maybe Eloy can ignite this team. I've noticed that Burger is not playing anymore. Looks like he'll be sent down when Eloy comes back.
  15. Hopefully Eloy can come back and hit some home runs for the White Sox. The team needs his power. They're not hitting any home runs.
  16. The White Sox are Coming, Tra La, Tra La!!!!
  17. You can't expect to win many games when 4 and sometimes 5 of your hitters in the lineup can't hit. Driving to the game today i heard Bruce Levine say that the team is going to add pitching at the trading deadline. If this team doesn't get some more hitting this is going to be a lost season. Maybe management thinks it will get better when Moncada, Eloy and Grandal come back. By the time all 3 of them come back this team might be out of first place by 10 games.
  18. What changes would they make? TLR is not getting fired. Some of their key players (Eloy, Moncada and Grandal) are hurt. They can't up anybody from the farm system to help them either.
  19. Corpsball is back. The team has struggles offensively all year. If Eloy, Grandal and Moncada had performed as expected the team wouldn't be in this position. Does anybody know when Eloy, Grandal and Moncada are coming back? I don't see anybody being called up from the farm system who can help the team. They just brought up Sheets and he has done nothing offensively. Baltimore, which is suppose to be a bad team has now won as many games as the White Sox.
  20. I thought that once Lynn came back this rotation would be enough to get the team into the playoffs. A rotation of Lynn, Cueto, Cease, Kopech and Giolito should get it done. Looks like Giolito is tanking beyond belief. If he keeps getting beat up I wonder if Hahn will try to trade for another starting pitcher. If so, i hope its sooner rather than later.
  21. Do you really think anybody would want Moncada and his contract? If the White Sox make a big trade I'm expecting that Burger will be traded.
  22. I wonder what they're going to do with Moncada. If he continues to tank offensively I don't see how they can keep him on the team in the future. I would imagine if he gets off to another bad start next year they will probably release him and eat his contract. Nobody is going to trade for him and pickup his contract.
  23. I really wonder how this is going to play out with Moncada. He looks like he couldn't hit me. They have him signed for 2 more years at big money. I can't imagine any other team wanting him and his contract.
