The White Sox may be the biggest sleeping giant in America if they can pull that off.

You think rogue and Bob post a ton about the White Sox now? Those post counts will go bonkers if a WOKE DEMORAT ends up buying the team!

All Barry O has to do is to buy the White Sox and my lifetime fannage is OVER along with the rest of my entire family including cousins and in laws.

Imagine if Trump bought the Sox.

It’d be just like that time he pwned Barry by having a Russian hooker piss on him.

Why? He'd probably be a better owner than Reinsdorf.

Would he do that before renaming the team something other than the racist current name aka "WHITE" sox? Would he also populate the team with trans players exclusively? I guess he wouldn't have to go far in looking for his number one pitcher, MICHELLE WOULD IMMEDIATELY QUALIFY.

Let them play trannies and put Michelle on the mound. They would be hard pressed to do worse than they have this year.

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.

Still sleeping? Tralalalalalalalalala

I missed the Obama story for some reason.

If he has made enough money to buy a sports franchise, someone needs to be investigated.

7 years later and the sox are staring down the barrel of another 100 loss season and Brick thinks he's Kreskin.

What number rebuild it this? 10 since 2005? Reinsdorf has really turned both of his teams into dog shit.

nothing more mind numbing than prospect watching.

I got a solicitation from the Sox suites starting at 1K per game. They are just trying to keep that floor open and people employed at that price. I do have to complement the ticket office for working the phone lines tirelessly. Doesn't mean I'm returning the call.

Suites have been a black hole since the start. Pretty funny though, $50 per person if you can find 20 Sox fans to fill it.
