[Potential + Effects of the World Series?]

Sox have no one to blame but themselves for their position. We have an awful owner and an awful front office. Cubs winning or not, this franchise is a f***ing trainwreck.

 

I don't believe JR thinks there is a problem:

- Attendance issue is offset by stadium lease.

- Mid-pack payroll keeps them cleanly in the green.

- Makes him and his partners an ongoing fortune.

- Surrounded by his frat brothers.

- Bought the franchise at $30M-ish, market worth near $1B.

 

He is basking in glory...the kind that has nothing to do with winning baseball.

[Kenny Williams Leaving?]

Personally, I like KW and his try to win every year mentality. To me, that's what you should do. His biggest mistake was not getting along with, or coming to some kind of workable situation with Guillen. He let it become personal and that's started the downfall.

As for his "bad" trades. The only one of significance I can think of is the Swisher trade. There may be some more that have slipped my mind but nothing of significance. I know there was a lot of much wasted hand-wringing over Daniel Hudson and Holmberg but those guys really did nothing.

 

Let's not forget his running big Frank out of town, also because it got personal.

[White Sox vs Tigers 7:10PM CSN]

There has got to be a stat for giving runs right back the next inning. I bet we win easy.

[Tim Anderson Called up...Rollins DFA'd]

Guess this is a move people like. If he struggles will people blame KW for bringing him up too soon as a typical KW move.

 

I guess that's what happens when the organization has shown no more ability to make effective personnel decisions than we humble fans.

[Nationals (Scherzer) @ Sox (Shields)]

I mean at the end of the day it's a business. His loyalty is ruining his business.

 

How do you figure? He's making millions regardless of who comes through the gates. I'd say business is pretty damned good.

[6/3 Game Thread - White Sox @ Tigers]

I really hope the Sox go after Morneau when he is healthy. Probably would be the cheapest best option we can find.

 

"cheapest best options" are exactly what has kept us right where we are.

[6/1/16 Game Thread - White Sox @ Mets]

Abreu swinging for the moon.

[5/23 Game 1 - Indians @ Sox, 4:10, CSN]

lol classic Robin.

 

 

Wait....he's done something like this before?

[Garcia not playing the last few games]

If Avi is supposdly a different hitter, with his new approach, shouldn't his history against a particular pitcher be of less significance?

You would think that they would like to see how the changes affect his results against a guy who had previously dominated him.

 

There you go, using common sense again.

[5/18 White Sox vs Astros]

I apologize for being so negative about Robin Ventura but ever since day one he's made my stomach turn for some reason.

 

You, sir, are not alone.

[5/10 - White Sox @ Rangers Game Thread]

20 months ago Rodon was pitching in college games. Seems many here dont grasp that to move that fast into being an above average pitcher is very hard to do.

 

The one hard hit ball so far was an out, btw.

 

 

Again, no disrespect to him...just observation. Yeah it's a hard job.

[5/10 - White Sox @ Rangers Game Thread]

Rodon just threw good enough to end the 1st inning with only 12 pitches and no runs and everyone is piling on him like he is pitching bad, wtf is wrong with some of you. That inning was solely the product of bad outfield play.

 

He gave up 2 hits, got a shallow fly ball and a double play ball.

 

If Sale did that everyone on here would be so far up Sale's ass they wouldn't know if it were night or day outside.

 

Dude, don't take it so personal. You're right about the outfield play, but his pitches were meat. No disrespect...just observation.

[5/10 - White Sox @ Rangers Game Thread]

Lawrie has been swinging for the fences for the past few games.

[5/10 - White Sox @ Rangers Game Thread]

Rodon is looking more and more like a major head case.

 

[5/10 - White Sox @ Rangers Game Thread]

Eaton fell....it happens.

 

[5/10 - White Sox @ Rangers Game Thread]

Eaton is on fire.

 

[5/3 Game thread: Boston, 7:10pm, CSN]

Q.

[5/1 Game thread: @ Baltimore, 12:35pm, CSN]

Sale not sharp....yet.

[4/30 Game thread: @ Baltimore, 6:05pm, WGN]

You dare doubt this team!!!!

 

I'm learning, I'm learning!!

[4/30 Game thread: @ Baltimore, 6:05pm, WGN]

Hell Yeah!!!!

[4/30 Game thread: @ Baltimore, 6:05pm, WGN]

This is the Sox brass just being stubborn all based on a Guy's contract. If Danks was making 3 million he would already be gone.

 

Dunn, Adam.

[4/30 Game thread: @ Baltimore, 6:05pm, WGN]

Danks has been announced as Wednesday's starter against the Red Sox. Vegas odds for a White Sox win are less than being struck by lightning . They do improve dramatically however, if Danks is the one struck... but only if it happens before the first inning.

 

LMAO

[4/30 Game thread: @ Baltimore, 6:05pm, WGN]

The Sox just put up one of their best Aprils ever and people are already calling the season over.

 

I don't think anybody is bailing. Just callin' 'em like they see 'em.

[4/30 Game thread: @ Baltimore, 6:05pm, WGN]

Black hole at catcher since AJ left.

[4/30 Game thread: @ Baltimore, 6:05pm, WGN]

Sox are done pretending. Looking more and more like last year in this series

 

I say they're settling in to who they really are....a slightly more interesting team with more potential.
