JUSTIN ISHBIA SHOULD CHOOSE NASHVILLE, WITH OR WITHOUT THE AMTRAK WHITE SOX

4+ day, 14+ hour ago   (214+ words) Moving the White Sox to Nashville wouldn’t require Amtrak politics or angering proud residents in Bridgeport and Chinatown, who would lose a baseball team and inherit train contamination.

WHEN KROENKE BUYS THE ANGELS FOR $4 BILLION, THE POPE MUST HELP THE WHITE SOX

1+ week, 5+ day ago   (243+ words) The Pope should help Justin Ishbia. Months ago, the baseball team he wants to buy — the Chicago White Sox — was valued between $2.15 billion and $1.94 billion. There is no chance that the current owner, Jerry Reinsdorf, will accept those paltry amounts…...

WHERE IS MARK WALTER? HE ONLY SENDS STAN KASTEN, WHO JUST MUDDLES THE SCANDAL

3+ week, 2+ day ago   (581+ words) Stan Kasten’s hand kept waving, so menacingly, toward the chin of a bearded reporter. This is how people who run sports franchises try to intimidate the media when, under a blue sky at Dodger Stadium, Kasten should not have been…...

CHICAGO NEVER CHANGES: WHERE WAS WRIGLEY SECURITY WHEN A WHITE SOX DOPE BLASTED FAT RYNO?

3+ week, 4+ day ago   (462+ words) Fat Ryno was swarmed by several Sox fans, including a silver-draped walloper who hit him at least 18 times and left him with a battered face and bloody lip. The red-shirted security man walked right past the one-on-one ugliness — maybe three…...

3+ week, 5+ day ago   (368+ words) He is a swindler, possibly doomed as an all-time sports criminal. And before he reaches the point where he destroys baseball, in his wish to win three straight World Series championships, Mark Walter cannot continue as the primary owner of…...
