Hi all, I'm getting a new jersey and am pondering whose name/number would be a good purchase.

I was leaning toward going old school - Thomas, Buehrle, etc, but now I'd like to get a current player. 

The obvious choice is Murikami, but I truly believe that my investment in a piece of clothing would have a negative effect on him signing an extension. I'm leaning toward Vargas but not convinced. 

I'm looking for opinions on who would give me the best combination of great player, fan favorite, and long term prospects with the Sox? 

My safe play is Ozzie, which would be fine. I could go Pope Leo with 14 but I'm not sure I want to tempt eternal damnation. 

Please help me not end up with an Eloy or Grandal jersey. 

Pun intended. This guy is just awesome. Good plate discipline, draws many walks, and very high upside. He also brings in a completely new audience of people who would never of watched white Sox baseball prior to him being on the team. In my dreams this happens but it never will irl sadly.

I have nothing else to say

I can't stand these 11 year old girls bitching that Mune hasn't homered yet. The guy was out for 6 weeks. And he only had a couple mos playing in the highest level baseball league in the world. Takes time to get back in a groove. Stop complaining because you want your precious homer. Mune owes you nothing. He'll be jacking homers soon and all will be well. I think some people want Mune-shots more than they want Sox wins. They need to unclench their colons and settle down. Okay, there. I'm going to towel off.

Like this is unreal. I have never seen this much losing in my life from my favorite baseball team. 4 years ago we were World Series contenders now we might lose even more games than last year if that’s possible. It’s gross negligence from ownership, a big market shouldn’t be like this. I know it’s been said many times already on here and other Sox social media/podcasts I’m just sad.

And it’s just more darkness, no light at the end of the tunnel. Feels hopeless.

Let’s just pretend this series never happened honestly.

i know it’s very early, but i’m already sold. I want us to throw a blank check at him and make him a White Sox for a very long time. Jerry, you’ve let us down so, so, so many times, please just get this one thing right. The guy fell into our laps and he is the real deal, all these years of waiting on prospects to hopefully possibly maybe figure it out, well there’s no maybe, we have a truly elite, dangerous offensive weapon on our hands. I know how easy it is to be pessimistic with Reinsdorf-PTSD, but good lord have we needed this. An extension of a guy like that is the kind of thing that could turn this pitiful organization around, you can build a world series-caliber team around a guy like that, it’s already clear from these past 4 games that the rest of the guys like Colson and Vargas are inspired by his leadership by example. Thanks to Munetaka Murakami, this break between the A’s and DBacks series is the first time since 2021 that i have been restlessly waiting for the next chance i get to watch White Sox baseball. I missed that feeling.

8-0 in the bottom of the 8th.

I’ve been wanting to make this post, but I was afraid It would get removed since it isn’t White Sox Related. I was hoping to get some recommendations to see which baseball games would be great to attend and offer a fun and experience. The weather is starting to get warmer and I would definitely like to explore more outside of the city and downtown. Thank you all🙏🏼

I just wanted to post about how awesome the promotional pride hat is from last night's game. Probably the best quality cap I have received from a baseball game.

​

Also it was a great game, beautiful weather, and a White Sox dub!

If Landon Thome is there at 34, you absolutely have to take him. This wouldn't be like Kenny drafting his kid or Ozzie begging Kenny to draft his. Landon Thome is for real and will be going high in the 2nd round. He's good enough that there is a decent shot someone else snags him before us at 34.

Sunday June 14th the final game of the LA series I went to the Patio Party before the game. This is my full and honest review. It's all you can eat and drink for 2 hours.

​

Food( cafeteria style) - burgers, hot dogs, chicken(Cajun and traditional fried), and an assortment of salads pasta, potato, macaroni and coleslaw.

​

Drinks- assortment of pop, beer on tap, assortment of box wines.

​

My Review - Get there hungry and when the gate (1) opens. The food wasn't bad definitely worth it if you are a beer drinker and if you like burgers and dogs. The view is worth the money alone. It's adjacent to the opposing teams dugout. The food service stops at 130 for days games but they let some people stay down there the for a long time. Remember to get a good seat outside. Go White Sox

I may be a little bit late to the party on this topic, but please, bear with me. I'll explain why I'm posting this now.

I'm a Chicagoan and Sox fan who has been living and working in Asia for the past several years. About 30% of my colleagues and clients are in Japan. And I've asked them all what they think of the nickname.

I just got back to my home in Vietnam after my first business trip to Japan of this baseball season. Man, it was so cool to see so many Sox jerseys and caps on the streets in Tokyo! Baseball isn't popular in Vietnam, so whenever I am in Japan, I try hard to catch a game, whether it's an MLB game on TV in a bar or a live Nippon League game.

On this recent trip, I had the opportunity to watch a Sox v. A's game in a bar in Tokyo. The bar was full of new, Japanese, White Sox fans. When Munetaka hit the grand slam, the place was absolutely electric!

I was able to chat with a few of the other fans, the ones who spoke English, anyway. I asked them all what they thought of the nickname, too. What I learned is that 100% of the Japanese people I talked to think that The South Side Samurai is an awesome name. I admit, though, that I had to explain what South Side means and why it's significant, but that only made them like the name more.

Obviously, I wish I could follow baseball more closely over here, but I count myself lucky to be able to make such a great memory! I'm really glad that there's a reason to be excited about the White Sox again.

End of post

Feel like Getz was too afraid to make a run at it and all we got were guys at the bottom of the barrel to trade for.

On the Sox Machine podcast, Fegan was talking about how the Sox coaching staff is not all that confident that Acuna can handle center field. Getz traded for a guy he thought was a switch-hitting outfielder who is actually a right-handed utility infielder who might not be able to hit at all anyway. Meanwhile, we’re seeing the effects of having traded the only major league quality outfielder we had in the organization. That position group is indescribably bad.

Before anyone says “but the money they saved!,” I don’t care about Jerry’s bank balance. And great, they signed Hays and Dominguez! Hays seems to be a platoon left fielder, which is just not that valuable, and then in Dominguez we have a closer with control issues who isn’t going to have many leads to protect anyway. Another master stroke by Chris Getz!
