As it turns out, 2020 was the window of contention. And as you said, Hahn did nothing to fix the pitching issue. Who knows how far they would have gone with some more pitching and if they could have gotten past the A's. It also was a problem that our MVP failed multiple times in that playoff series to drive runs in....that's right I said it.

I was not sure where to post this but since this thread is about on field talent, here we go.... I was at the Night of 1,000 Jack O Lanterns event at the Chicago Botanic Gardens the other evening and one of the themes for the carved pumpkins was "Chicago Sports Rookies".....I quickly wondered if the Sox would be represented but low and behold, right after Angel Reese, was Jonathan Cannon. Congratulations, Jonathan.

I realize that I only have the personal experience of living in Chicago most of my life and I guess whoever put those statistics together are professionals, but those numbers look like bullahit to me

Ozzie's insistence of playing a non CF out there a good chunk of the season didn't help either.

Alot of people forget about Hermonson but he was very good out of the pen as well that campaign....I had forgotten that he came back late in the year when I watched a season recap recently.

Not trying to be political, but I think your demographic breakdown for any group of people in Chicago are not accurate. Democrats have run Chicago for decades.

Sell em to Mellody Hobson....still get the 1st Black majority owner and Dave Stewart gets shut out.....that's a win win in my book. I still say JR is not selling though.

What if I throw in a Kosher dog??

You going to the Bananas game? I'll buy you a cold one

My 2 cents is Reinsdorf is full of s%*#....I still say with the current tax rules he will leave it to his kids/estate to sell.

"I like to look at it as the real White Sox showing up...,.,finished the season on a winning streak.....Staaaannndd UP!!!"

I was just sitting around and got pissed off again. Seriously, how in the hell in a sellers market did Getz do a 3 team trade and give away Fedde and Kopech and get back a pile of crap? It must have been my subconscious saying, "bump the thread before it reaches page 2 again"......thank you subconscious.

My better half picked the perfect year to want to dump cable.....I only watched the Sox when I purchased YouTube TV for a month to watch March Madness. The last game I watched was one of their putrid extra inning efforts.

Didn't Ellis steal 2B and then get picked off? You can't teach speed or coach stupidity.

I wish, Chet....No, I am just an ordinary fan of the greatest baseball franchise of all time, The Brooklyn Dodgers The Chicago White Sox.....Great season ticket packages still available for 2025 See ya at the ballpark.

Kudos on the thread name change....well done Sir.

Stay tuned

I search banana and found a random post from Caulfield so I guess you can blame him or me. I dread the line at the Cuban Comet stand for those games.

Ungrateful jerk....weren't we the 1st franchise to give him the opportunity to manage in the minors? He should've come here at a discount.

Agreed. I saw them in Iowa earlier this month and it was very entertaining.

The Bananas just announced they will be playing 2 games at Sox Park mid August 2025.

"Good thing we are in the AL Central"

I was in Ohio that summer that he broke the record....we would run an extension cord outside and bring out the TV to watch the Red's games while sharing a Stroh's 30 pack.

Time to sell some more Mattresses, Mack to make up for your $$ losses today.
