Go figure, Brett Ballantini talks with new SSS staffer Tyrone Palmer and neglects to discuss his most recent domination of Sox Twitter, as he brought attention to the White Sox dishonoring Loretta Micele:
This legit pissed me off. This was formerly named Loretta’s Lounge after Loretta Micele. She worked concessions for the Sox for 60 years. They dedicated it to her during the 2005 World Series. She gave so much to the organization and replacing her name to that of TLR is shameful. pic.twitter.com/mecpWbTMoU

But, no worries, Tyrone is much more of a White Sox dynamo than a mere viral tweet that touched the hearts of more than 32,000 Twitter users ...
Topics broached:
- Highlights from Tyrone’s Meet the Players profile, including his all-time favorite Simpsons episodes
- Reminiscing about 2008’s Blackout Game, which both Tyrone and Brett attended, with fond memories. And both still have their generic black “blackout” towels
- The majesty of seeing Frank Thomas clobber a home run to straightaway center in your first-ever White Sox game
- Offseason reactions, including revamped coaching staff
- Spending smartly vs. spending more
- Making sure the “window of contention” is not just a carrot dangling, merely masquerading as a World Series ring
