If he is our representative, I will form the revolutionary party starting a coup. Please take out Kaplan/Levine and install Chuck Garfien on Mt. Olympus. Make Gordon Beckham roll boulders up the mountain until he learns to 1) hit a fastball, and 2) stop saying “competitive at bats” incessantly like he trademarked the saying..

I could see southsider2k5 combining that with financial guru stuff, definitely Balta for progressive Sox fans lol, CWS…the Nashville/Chicago guy. Ray Ray needs his own talk show to have a bigger audience to argue with, but would need to expose his identity. Bmaggs and Tony maybe. KyLle, no comment. TexSox and PTAC could have their own middle of the road slightly conservative and slightly liberal but “reasonable” show. Greg775 can do Bob Dole impersonations at the Lawrence Applebee’s. You've expanded from naming as many players as you can in a single post to naming Soxtalk posters. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the same since Jon Miller left, even though he was a douche. Hawkeyenation.com stinks now. Used to prefer it over HawkeyeReport but that is no longer the case. Very sad.

KrankinSox Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Chisoxfanmike is a dork. He doesn't represent shit. I bet the venn diagram of Bennetti Fanboyz with Chisoxfanmike Fanboyz is a circle. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike spent a long time on twitter gaining followers by just commenting on every white Sox related tweet and getting into pissing matches with other accounts and also players and media IIRC. I think the bot issue was simply to win the 108 tourney not to expand his followers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spumoni Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 White Sox twitter in general seems to suck in my opinion. I don't post there and obviously a much different medium more aligned with ST but White Sox Reddit is always interesting to check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
