Wrigley Field as God intended it: two-thirds empty and filled with the drunk and unemployable.

Back when the Scrubs could barely get 3000 people to a game

@CheapSeats411 There’s no way Dewey Hoyt loses game 5

83 White Sox. I was 7 years old. I fell in love with that team and fell in love with baseball that Summer. Tito Landrum and the Baltimore Orioles broke my heart.

@20th_Centurygal Replacements opening for Tom Petty.

Who's the most surprising opening act you’ve seen blow the headliner away?

@TheStingisBack Top 3 Denzel!

Honestly had no idea people disliked Man on Fire (released OTD in 2004). I get it: the editing’s frenetic and Tony Scott shoots every scene like it's a car chase, but a 39% RT rating is nuts. It’s one of the most Denzel Denzel movies ever. What am I missing?

@ChiSoxFanMike @Ecnerwal23 They will never compete with a bottom half payroll. Jerry just needs to go.

I’m very happy the White Sox have the #1 pick in the draft. But I think it’s unfair to expect Roch Cholowsky (or whoever they take) to single-handedly turn this franchise around. They are going to have to spend money on good players soon or this is never going to work.

@savemeishbia And I think most knowledgeable fans realize there are quite a few holes in Colton’s game

@savemeishbia I disagree, if/when this rebuild fails Getz will be the face of it. His infatuation with players who remind him of himself is just crazy.

One thing people don’t talk about enough is the amount of pressure on Colson Montgomery he’s 23 and is already the face of the franchise for the White Sox. If this rebuild fails the media, and sox fans will point at him as the reason why. He’s the cover guy of the whole thing.

@bstokes79 @KenWo4LiFe Nobody followed minor league back then

@KenWo4LiFe Did they hype Mags and Carlos Lee in the 90's? I never followed the minor leagues back then

How many hyped to the moon prospects have worked out for the Sox in your life? In mine 90 percent of them debuted at old comiskey park.

@ChiSoxFanMike @StonecoldSxnick And he’s pretty poor defensively too!

Luisangel Acuña has 54 plate appearances this season. He has 0 extra base hits and 1 walk.

@Ecnerwal23 I can never forgive Kenny for giving him Beuhrle’s money.

Happy 41st birthday to John Danks What about him? Pitched a gem to help the #WhiteSox win Game 163 in 2008 over the Twins

@Mikehomeseller Jack Straw, Sugar Mags, Franklins Tower, China Cat/eyes of the world, Scarlett Bagonias/ Fire on The Mountain….. could do this all day

What is your favorite song by the Grateful Dead? #mikesquestions #GratefulDead

@Mikehomeseller @GenTXer2

This is a joint post with @GenTXer2 . Who is the best athlete that played for one team his entire career and retired with that team? #mikesquestions #GenXT2 #Sports

@JCowleyHoops That’s a terrible take. They inherited MJ, without him the Bulls would have zero banners. And Jerry broke that team up.

Just a reminder, the Cubs and Bears combine for two whole championships since 1985. The Reinsdorfs have 7 in that time. Let’s not pretend Chicago is some city of champions without them.

If you're in the Chicagoland area and are into Americana, folk, singer-songwriter stuff, you might dig what I do. Head over to jasonbenefield.com and check out my songs and, if you're into it, come see me at a show.

@KenWo4LiFe Posey is a HOFer, maybe not first ballot. It’s a good year for the fringe candidates to make up some ground

Potentially the worst first time candidate class of all time. Imo none of them deserve to make it.

Random 80s at bat: Mike Proly vs Paul Molitor (July 30, 1980).

@Mikehomeseller The Sky Is Crying

What is your favorite song by Stevie Ray Vaughan? #mikesquestions #SRV

@varadmehta We built this city is why Grace quit

Has anyone ever explained how they went from Jefferson Airplane and "White Rabbit" to Starship and "We Built This City"? Like, how was that even possible?

@VintageRockN_85 Grateful Dead

Which band with multiple lead Singers do you like best? (Not counting the Beatles)
