The Official 2017 Chicago White Sox Thread

[ChiSoxFan]

I think I speak for all three White Sox fans on tHoop when I say 2017 will be like eating a shit sandwich with extra shit. Only up from here, boys. Discuss.

 

[ChiSoxFan]

So, um...how about those...White Sox?

I laughed my ass off when I saw the logo after it was first unveiled. How appropriate that a downward red arrow in incorporated. Hell, it correlates to the baseball product of late.

Goofy logo aside, the team is doing what should've been done a few years ago.

i don't know that they'll be any worse than they were last year ..... but i do know it should be more interesting to watch this.

Totally agree. Can't recall the last time we had legit prospects. The days of hyping up prospects like Brian Andersen, John Fields, Jerry Owens and Gordon Beckham are over.

Last season was the most enraging in a long time. Until I gave up, then it was fine. lol

The season that drove me nuts was the one right after trading for Samradzdzdaa. That team, like last year's as well, was utterly unwatchable.

Yes, that was bad as well.

I just remember when it all really spiraled out of control in late May and early June last year. There was a start where Shields got shelled for his 3rd straight outing, and I literally sat up that night fuming with anger. Drinking whiskey and cursing Shields name. lol. I was PISSED at that point in the season, more than I have been in my life with the Sox. I felt like they completely gave up, and had zero back bone. Which is true.

He might still hold the record for longest HR at Comiskey/Cell/GUARF

I home my acronym idea of 'GUARF' catches on for the park's new nickname.

Only up from here my friend. I've been a season ticket holder dating back to 2003, when the ASG was at the park. The last couple of years have been so dreadful that I just ate the tickets many nights.

Yup, he does last time I checked. He was a horrific major league ball player, but he could hit it a country mile when he got a hold of one. I think that ball went 500+ to dead center.

Rangers expressing interest in Quintana.

 

[richig07]

Welp... I bought some tickets. Hopefully the season isn't a total tank job, or at least a few youngsters emerge.

Got the partial season package this year. Only up from here, or something.

Got the April ballpark pass. 11 gms for 38 bucks. Pretty hilarious. I did it to get good opening day tickets at face value

I'm not joking, it would cost more to go see the college summer league ball games around here.
