It's not the tipping point. The tipping point was tanking for five years with the unfulfilled promise, i.e. lie, that when the time came they would try to compete. The other stuff is just insult to injury.

Better him than you or I, Nardi.



Anyway, Leury gone is addition by subtraction. Colas seems to be the real deal. Of course he will struggle at times but I would rather him struggle thru the season than watchin Leury flail about in RF.

Hard not to argue.

I'm good with Hanser Alberto as the backup IF, and Santos pitched his way onto the club. As stated I don't expect this team to be much better than the 81-81 they were last year, but I would love to eat crow in October.

It is true, dumbass. This is the first year they DON'Ted tables and tents so they could sell that instead.

Please show where the Sox no longer allow tailgating.

Or admit you're full of shit.

An underlooked key is the catching position. Say the right decisions are made, example being Eloy as full time DH, Timmay taking SS seriously, and injuries are limited, that position has to be viable for any shot at actually being good. Call a proper game, catch the ball, maybe even swing the bat. If that doesn't happen early, go to Seby and don't think twice about it.

Agree 100%. Grandal gets 100, maybe 150 at bats to get going. If he isn't a premium offensive player by that point, DFA him.

Full. Of. Shit.

Want a table that bad, you whiny baby? Tailgate in Lot A, B, C, or G.

Yep. They started something without having a destination that makes any sense. They lacked the guts to makeover a DH laden type team into a team hat could play two way baseball. No major league capable right fielder, no top notch caliber 2nd baseman, no good 3rd baseman, no left handed ace pitcher. And they never gave enough chance to some of their better draft picks like Burger. The last two years have been a waste of time and some good pitching.

It's not going to a guy who parks a mile away to save some cash on parking. He doesn't tailgate anyway.

We seem to have the Don'ts page duking it out with the FAQ page. And the way it's written, it looks like they inserted the "Lots D & E", therefore making it a terribly constructed sentence.

BUt they took away tailgating !!!!!!!!!!

_________________

If I'm paying I'm parking across the street from CPD. I hope Frank is right about the tailgating and Jerry isn't that petty and short sighted.

As I sit here watching the Sox beating the cubbies now with a kid in LF I know from the ACE teams. He may be the tenth plus active kid from either my son's little league or ACE I have personally watched for years.

So I'm good!

Of course I'm right. I generally am.

Does anyone actually think JERRY is going to ban tailgating on lots that he doesn't have to pay for or maintain and lose the $27 parking fee times a couple thousand cars (Cue imbecile Bob or Juiced making an attendance joke) each home game because a handful of those people that tailgate will spend very little in the park? He's an asshole, but he ain't stupid.

Now watch JOrr come back here with insults flying and throwing more shit at all the wall rather than simply admit what he originally posted was wrong.

_________________

"Tents and table set ups will not be permitted in Lots D or E unless they are in the reserved tailgating area in Lot E." I think when I go, I'll park in D and take my tent and table over to E. Then I'll take my parking spot in lot D over to E. Then I'm all set, right?

If you can still tailgate in A,B, and C then it's all good

uhh...yeah Seacrest. Thanks for checking in.

It' a dick move. Impact to most is null, as I'm sure most do not park in those lots. it's still a dick move.

_________________

You can tailgate in any lot, Seacrest. Jorr was wrong. Evidently you can no longer set up tables in lot D or E, which generally have very little tailgating anyway as D & E are the season ticket holder/scout seat/ media lots directly west of the 1st base side of the park. In all the games I have gone to, I have never once parked in either of those lots.

Given how the Sox comport themselves to their fans, I'm not even sure this qualifies as a dick move. There are 50, maybe 100 other things that are worse. We'll see what happens on Monday at the home opener. I'm sure WhiteSox Twitter be on fire if security is forcing people to take down tables.



For now, it looks like JOrr just needed something to piss and moan about. Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.

_________________

Simple Frank is right. You can "tailgate" by standing around hold a beer. At least for now. If attendance is down Jerry may decide he doesn't want any outside beer on premise.

This is all that needed to be said, you curmudgeonly old bastard.


The park is 23 years old this season. In its history, when has outside beer (other than kegs) not been allowed in the lots? It's just nonsense and you used to be so much smarter than this. For chrissakes is it really this difficult for you to say, "My bad guys. Look like I read the headline wrong," and admit you were incorrect when you're called out on the misinformation you vomit all over the board?

You re-define going off the deep end.

_________________

I get that you want to defend the Sox as if you're arguing with Caller Bob. But you're just wrong.

Have the tailgate rules been changed this year? Have they started selling "tailgate experiences"?

_________________
Communists are just people who are terrible at capitalism.

Please show where I have defended the Sox over this discourse. You won't be able to because I have in fact bashed them more than once.

And this isn't a question of the defending the Sox or them being right or wrong. Its about YOU being wrong with what you initially said. As evidenced by your backtracking with asking irrelevant questions below; Have the White Sox "taken away tailgating"?

We're going to find out a lot things early, probably. I, more than anything, want to see if they play baseball, rather than whatever it is we've been watching since Robin Ventura.

They're gonna have to play close to .700 baseball over the first twenty games to get me interested.

You seem to be more than interested in what takes place in the parking lots you never use.


Fully in a "prove it" mode with the White Sox. I don't expect them to be much better than the 81-81 they were last season, but I'm definitely not rooting against them.
