Chorizy-E’s wishlist for White Sox Santa | 12 Days of #108Mas

I’ve been a White Sox fan my whole life. But these last three years have brought us 324 losses. I’ve prayed to Jebus, I’ve practiced Santeria, I’ve burned pictures of Pedro Grifol in a tiny dumpster, but nothing has helped. I’m reaching out to you White Sox Santa to make 2026 more enjoyable for White Sox fans, but in particular me!

White Sox Stuff

More Starting Pitchers!

Thank you for the gift that is Shane Smith. But let’s not put so much damn pressure on him to be the ace of the staff. The Sox should be out there getting some veteran starting pitchers to make this a rotation that uses Jonathan Cannon and Sean Burke as depth pieces in the minors. No pitching staff is gonna stay healthy all season, so there is good utility in having them down there.

If Noah Schultz and/or Hagen Smith is ready, let’s see ’em. If not, go out and get more pitchers!

A Real Life First Baseman

In my time as a White Sox fan we had Frank Thomas, Paul Konerko, and then Jose Abreu all in a row. Now the position has become a carousel of guys that have a little power, but not first base power. Please White Sox Santa, bring me a big thumping MFer to play first base!

Eugenio Suarez

This seems like something the White Sox can do in terms of years and money. I’ve seen a lot of 3/$60M out there and MLB Trade Rumors predicts him at 3/$63. Maybe the Sox pay the “suck tax” and go closer to $69M (nice). The left side of the infield providing 60 HR would be a wild improvement to the offense. Gimme that. Also, it would just be fun to bring him in years after ‘Loaf wanted to trade for him.

In Stadium Stuff

Return the pop fly game to the drunks

The pop fly game between innings finally came back, but now they have teenagers out there catching the fly balls. Back when they used to do it, they’d grab some guy who maybe had a couple two tree pops during the game and was wobbly at best. I don’t want them to take the experience away from the kids. That should stay, but later in the game, send in a drunk. Comparing the two on the scoreboard would be wonderful.

New metal detectors

Every time I go to a game at another park, I am reminded that metal detector technology has advanced tremendously over the past decade. The White Sox are living in the late ’80s with theirs. And we’ve seen the downside of that. Shit, I’m still mad we didn’t get to see Tone Loc.

Alkaline Trio Post-Game Concert

Speaking of post-game concerts, let’s get some Chicago bands in there. I just saw Alkaline Trio at Riot Fest and I hadn’t seen them in years. It was great and I think people would show up in droves to see them after a Sox game. What Chicago band would yous want?

108 Stuff

#108ing Beer

For a brief moment, Lil’ Friday Lager was on tap at Goose Island. It sold out quickly, but soon after, the Sox moved on from Goose and went with Miller. So we never fully realized the FromThe108 beer.

I think it’s time we get our own beer. I am fairly certain that even if it was only sold at the stand above our section and at Cork and Kerry’s, whatever brewery makes it would not be able to keep it in stock.

Sell out Reggie’s
