It's all coming together. The Bears move means that the White Sox are now Chicago's pro team. Looking at a decade or more of sustained success. A new stadium coming in the next 10 years.

They are barely an above .500 team post ASB (36-33) and about to be bounced in the 1st round by the Houston Astros.

They are a year early.

The All Star game isn't some magic line that means anything.

Since July 31st (another random date)
Sox 29-24
Astros 28-24

Get in the playoffs and hope (yes, it's a dangerous thing)

The random stat I like, and it could be completely useless. It seems like game 1 of every series is when the Sox put out their "A" lineup, which is what every playoff game will be. Since Aug 1st, they are 14-3 in "game 1's".

Caller Bob continues to get owned when he trolls as he uses the All-Star break as some arbitrary point to make a team good or bad, while the team he roots for is 22-44 since the break :lol:

If true, that's the first thing Bob has been right on in a few years.

Astros just lost 4 of their last 5. They are going to be coming in cold against the Sox and Giolito will mow them down Game 1.

If I'm Jerry, my first call today is to Lori Lightfoot about this. My second call is to the Bears front office about keeping a section of the massive land they just bought open big enough to have a baseball stadium built on it. The parking, restaurants, casino, and all that other stuff work well for 89 home games a year.

Exactly. It's FUNdamental. City is unlivable and dangerous. The Heights are full of Wypipo, so safe.

Pending a 9th inning rally, seems that way.

Lots of minor league talent.
Huge baseball market.
Very good stadium deal.
Championship pedigree.
Underwhelming success based on the "win every year" strategy that MLB has decided is not correct.
Demanding fan base.
Potential of a new downtown domed stadium after Guaranteed Rate is no longer viable.
Coming sale of the team to a deep pocketed owner.

It sucks now but the White Sox could be a force in the future.

Are they still sleeping?
