The Bases Are Loaded On My Apathy For The 2023 White Sox

I have a White Sox tattoo. I have five jerseys. I used to hit at least 20+ games a season. I’ve said in multiple pieces that I’ll be cremated wearing a Sox cap when I croak. I’ve searched for a 90’s satin Starter jacket like a holy grail. And now, as the 2023 season looms, I am out of f*#*$ to...

The Front Office Sleeps With The Fishes: No New White Sox

And on August 2nd, 2022, the White Sox faithful let out another long moan. Another season in the trash, another cavalcade of errors, and one more reason to wonder why we cheer for this team. When the rebuild took shape, White Sox fans were on board with the mentality of “trust the process,” and we...

"He's Making The Call To The Arm Barn" - Please Just Stop With This Nonsense

Did you know that there are 50 square miles in Yellowstone National Park between the Idaho and Montana borders where there’s a legal loophole that if you hypothetically offed someone, you’d get away with it? Seriously. There are a few books on it and everything. They even brought it up to both...

So Long White Sox & Thanks for the Season

The ride on the south side is officially over. It wasn’t without drama or excitement, but the Houston Astros placed the final crooked nail in the coffin of the 2021 season. At times, the White Sox looked like one of the best in the game, and others, fans would be lying if we didn’t race to the...

Can We All Agree We Want Those 1919 Throwbacks On Sundays?

Can we all agree that the old-school 1919 throwbacks should stay? And can we sunset the 1980's look that Chris Sale hated so much he tried to attack it with a knife? It's not like the Winning Ugly era uniforms are bad or anything. It's just that it's time to change the look compared to the recent...

MLB's Suck Ass Blackout Rules Gotta Go

I live in Austin, Texas. I'm from Chicago. I am also a die-hard White Sox fan. There are two flexes I've established since becoming an adult with a semi-functioning writing career: be the house that gives out the full-size candy bars on Halloween, and every season, I buy the MLB package with every...

Shame On The White Sox: Loretta's Lounge Is Now La Russa's Lounge And That's Just Gross

Today, the kids like to use the word "cringe" in totality as a flavor for their ultimate distaste in a situation, and today, I agree with them. The White Sox are typically seen as a mafia code outfit that takes pride and family above all things. One of the most common themes throughout the team's...

The Small Growing Pains Of A Potentially Championship Caliber White Sox Team

OK, so the Yankees series didn't go as planned. It was fun to imagine that the White Sox would roll into the Bronx and whoop the Bombers deep into the Bambino's grave, six feet deep, but the baseball gods were not on the pale hose's side this weekend. Did it suck to lose some painfully close games?...

Signs Of The Emerging White Sox Beast Are Starting To Show

There's an early storyline to the 2021 White Sox: World Series caliber team needs to get its shit together. And it's driving the south side faithful insane – even after only a few games. BUT, The sky isn't falling. The team's chances of reaching the postseason aren't squashed. The Chicago White Sox...

The Weirdest White Sox Offseason Is Also the Best, Too

Being a Chicago White Sox fan in 2020 is a paradox. One minute, it's something good, weird, or interesting. The bites are sweet and sour simultaneously, but none of it acrid to the taste. You could make a correlation to it being like a Japanese game show where people have to guess if something is...

2020 Might Suck, But This Year's World Series Will Be Great

The sports culture is weird—especially baseball. Stats and facts dominate the sport. Everyone wants to know the first time some dude tossed a no-hitter after swallowing a handful of speed pills or when four players all wearing black pants hit sacrifice flies in a row. Nerds will sit in the stands...

This Season, It's About Chicago

Everything sucks right now. We’re all stuck in this half frightening, half normalized holding pattern that doesn’t make any sense. This is also is our new norm for the time being. There are no magic elixirs and time is our only ally. We’re dealing with a new reality, a strange point of view, but...

Baseball's Culture Problem Starts With Tim Anderson

Major League Baseball has an issue with culture. Despite the national pastime’s ingrained influence, with its spoken and unspoken rules threaded throughout the American DNA, the game hasn’t evolved as basketball and football.

Foot, Meet Mouth: A Kenny Williams Story

To say that the Chicago White Sox offseason has been a failure would be putting it lightly.

There's No Balm To Cure The Never-Ending Sting of Being a Chicago White Sox Fan

Bryce Harper doesn’t have a team yet. Give us a reason to believe in the south side again, Rick. Make us believe you're serious about winning, Jerry. And for God's sake, don't disappoint us again, Kenny. We’re tired of losing, tired of being the second banana, and tired of false promises, and over...

Pass Me A Beer: This MLB Offseason Has Been Exhausting

This offseason has been exhausting for baseball fans. It's high time everyone who's unemployed stopped playing cat and mouse and slip on their new uniforms and get to work.

Free Agency Deadline: A Must

As we’ve talked about ad nauseum, this season’s free agency period is a total clusterfuck. There are glaring holes in the business of baseball and it’s only getting worse. We’re slowly watching the inner workings of baseball suffer because of owners not wanting to put a competitive team on the...

Local Man Ready To Tell Everyone He's Not Going To Watch The Sportsball Match

Local man excited to tell everyone online how much he doesn’t care about football.

Dear Bryce, Be a F*#king Hero

Byrce Harper would be more appreciated in Chicago than other cities. There are plenty of reasons why Harper should choose Chi-town over NY or LA.

Just Accept It: The Bryce Harper Thing is Going To Drive You Insane

This Bryce Harper thing is stressful, so someone, please pass the Rolaids because it’s going to be a long few days till the manager’s meetings are over out in Vegas.
