f*** everyone associated with the Reinsdorf organization not directly on the field or on the court.

If you can't make Sox roster, you really should consider hanging it up

Alright, Illini the sixth seed to face off versus the winner of Texas/Xavier in the first round. If we win that, will face likely Kentucky in the second round.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Yeah, he is cooked

Also, it's not like White Sox have good pitching staff so another indictment against him if he couldn't win spot on Sox at OF or in rotation/pen

I would assume he would need to start down in the minors to see if he has anything.

Edit misheard apologies

 

[HeisenBaez]

Cubs sign Lance Lynn

Where are you seeing this?

Where are you seeing this?

Thought I heard it on the score

Guess I’m wrong

 

[HeisenBaez]

Well, the Cubs offense decided to sleep in for G1 of the 2025 season.

4-1, LAD.

Just to give you an idea of what Reinsdorf has done to my White Sox fandom....I didn't know, or care, that the season started today. Lol

I stopped following Sox news after the inactivity in FA and not even an attempt to field improved roster

Also Manfred, the gap between haves and have nots and other things have made me not care about MLB at all at this point

I might turn on a game here and there in background while I do something or if nothing is on and I have no plans/work but at this point I won't go out of my way to watch Sox/MLB

 

[HeisenBaez]

f*** MLB for making these two Cubs/Dodgers games count instead of making them exhibitions.

Alright, Illinois facing off against Xavier in the actual first round.

With the rule change UN-incentivizing being a horrible team regarding draft position. I'm not really sure why they made no effort to give the fans anything of interest to watch/follow. It's like they're going out of their way to make the attendance as low as possible.

For example - look at this past draft lottery. Ok the Sox weren't eligible before #10, and they will be in 2026. But the next two worst teams in this past draft lottery were the Rockies and Marlins, who are picking 4th and 7th respectively. The year before the worst team picked 4th.

The only reason to field a team this is bad is because you have a cheapskate owner who doesnt want to spend money. You can't hide behind 'a proper rebuild' anymore.

Ironically - you've defended this cheapskate owner over the years, so I guess you got what you wanted.

Because Reinsdorf. That's it.
