Off day trip to the casino in Hammond. Saw a guy sitting by himself at dinner. Asked him to join me. Name of Eddie Long. I said tell me your story Eddie. Two tours in Vietnam. Purple Heart. 29 years Chicago fireman. Thank you Eddie Long for making my life easy

I played against and with 40 HOF ers. We had our moments. We pass the torch to a new generation and they are diverse. I say let them play as they see fit. Let Tim flip his bat. Let Liam scream. Wear chains. The game is in their hands. We left a great game. Make it better

The Sox signed a minor free agent just now. He won’t help the pennant chase and he can’t hit or even pitch anymore. It makes me very happy to announce that Jason has a partner for multiple years and our twitter war can continue unabated. I’m aboard for the great years ahead

Tonight to celebrate 40 years in the booth the White Sox are allowing me to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. I must admit I’m a bit nervous. I dreamt about it. Could I make it 60ft 6in. Will it be a strike. Can Southpaw throw better. Post pitch surgery? Lots of pressure

After our last 162 game season I thought baseball would deaden the ball. To heighten interest in our beautiful game let’s bring back some of the beauty. We need more balls in play. We need more action. Hrs, walks and Ks are the game now. Make teams execute to win. Just my opinion

I’ll be back in the booth tonight. I’ll find the Sox in 1st place with Baseballs best run differential. The starting pitching is 1 in ERA by a wide margin. The next six teams are in the NL with no DH. Cease to the mound tonight and the Twins here for the first time. Life is good

It has been pointed out to me that I am trailing Jason Benetti in followers by a wide margin. Now I know he’s a national guy and that he’s much younger. I know he’s smarter and much more literate. He’s a charming fellow with a big fan base. New Years resolution. Narrow the gap

So I’m an insomniac. I want to mello out and reflect on the first half. I turn to Guns N’Roses Paradise City. Sox are a half game out of 1st. Abreu on pace over 162 to hit 60 bombs. Eloy 50 bombs. Our starters ERA for a month about 2.60. Giolito a 13k no no. Am I hallucinating?

For those of you who were at the game or saw it on TV, you saw a nearly perfect example of baseball at it’s best. The Sox were flawless. Rodon, Kopech and Hendriks were unhittable. The defense was sparkling. Just enough offense. They can and will beat good teams. Eloy, Luis. Soon

Welcome to Baseball 2023. I went to the ballpark today and it was great to see the guys and talk to some of the new coaches and Pedro Grifol our new manager. This has always been a special time for me. Excitement and optimism rule the day. We televise Feb 25th. I can’t wait

I’m not sure why fans read my last tweet and thought I was retiring. I am not. For those who believe I’m working only for a paycheck. I am not. I am broadcasting because I love baseball. I go to a big league park and talk about a game I grew up playing. It’s a blessing I cherish

I’ll be back with Jason for the Dodger series starting tomorrow. I can’t wait. Our boys are starting to swing the bats. Our Sox have taken 2 of 3 on the road from the Yankees and the Rays. So much for not being able to beat good teams. Tuesday marks 40 years in the booth. Oh my

I won’t tell you Sox fans not to worry because it’s in your DNA. Worry if you must but bare in mind a few things. With every passing game, Eloy is getting better, Luis is getting his rhythm and Yaz is close to being back. Rodon will return and Vaughn Is maturing. All will be fine

It’s gotten to that time of year where I remind you folks on Twitter that I have the deciding vote on whether I want you as a participant. You can voice an opinion or ask a serious question. I do not tolerate profanity, political discourse or disrespect. This isn’t a Democracy

I have heard from a lot of Sox fans this spring about what the ballclub needs. Some say a starting pitcher. Some want a rightfielder. Others want a backup catcher. I’ll make it easy. We need a better defense and HEALTH. Those 2 things and it’s 2005 again. These Boys have Talent

To all of you who are concerned about the broadcast next year I can only say we’re getting close. The White Sox and I agree that the best place for me is in the Sox booth next to Jason Benetti. I’m sure we’ll work it out. Looking forward to an active winter for Rick and Kenny

I played against Hank Aaron when I was young and he was a huge star in our game. He was a wonderful competitor and a true gentleman. Quiet confidence comes to mind. He had a certain dignity that you can’t teach. He was what a professional should be. Our game lost a Giant. RIP 44

After our horrendous ending to the ballgame the overreaction was sad and predictable. Yes the defense was awful. Yes the bullpen wasn’t any good. It’s as if the 6 game winning streak never happened. So fire away my negative friends. I’ll be your ray of sunshine in troubled times

Nobody that I’ve ever worked with out prepares Jason Benetti. He is a prolific researcher. With that said I was very impressed with the job Mike Monaco did last night. On very short notice he was well prepared and smooth as silk. I want Jason back soon but Mike will be a star

Our Sox took a twinbill from the Yankees in NYC. To those who gave up on the season please note that only 25% of the season is over. The Yankees managed 1 run and 11 hits in 18 innings. The Yankees are a very good team. The Sox took a series from them in NYC. Throughly enjoyable
