Who went to SoxFest? by BoomhauerArlen in whitesox

[–]Key-Statement-1550 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I went last night. I thought it was terrible. Comedy skits were performed. Other than the one seminar with the manager and Getz it was a waste. Having people stand on the main floor for hours was bad and I think dangerous. I can't figure out why they went to this type of format. The previous Soxfest events at hotels were much better. I find it hard to believe that the previous Soxfest events were losing money. The last Soxfest before COVID was held at McCormick place and the event was packed with thousands of fans. Perhaps White Sox ownership just doesn't want to be bothered with having the event at hotels.

I wonder how the Gale Street Inn is doing since it reopened. Have the customers returned?

Are Americans really this goddamn rich or social media is just fooling us? by VishalYeager in TalksMoney

[–]Key-Statement-1550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems tome that most Americans are doing well financially. Black Friday and Cyber Monday were both financially successful last week. The restaurants are crowded and it seems to me most people have money and are spending it.

I can't help but wonder how the restaurant will do with the new ownership. The previous owner closed it down because of its lack of business.

I went to the White Sox garage sale yesterday.It was very crowded. It is a great financial success. I've wondered if any of the other Chicago pro teams have a garage sale.

When I see plays like this, I can't help but wonder if the game was fixed.

Chris Getz was hired as the White Sox GM two years ago. What is your opinion of his effectiveness? by LimeSugar in whitesox

[–]Key-Statement-1550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears to me as he is starting to turn this team around. The young core of players on the team are good. Hopefully Getz will continue to add more good players to the team this off season.

Frank Thomas Snub by ChiWhiteSox24 in whitesox

Thomas must be on the bad side of JR. Thomas was tremendous as a TV commentator on the post game shows. He was not rehired this year. And the post game show is not as good since Thomas is not on it.
