Yep, wild card is the route now.

AV's walk up song should just be a sad trombone.

Get out of my thread nerd

This s%*# is bullshit. Thanks fucking Jerry go rejoice in your misery mother fucker. 43 years of misery you have given Sox fans. You fucking s%*# head

I'm Pedro Grifol. People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks. Years later, a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and am what some people call mentally retarded.

This team is 3-16 with a -61 run differential. What is this post??

The Sox are 30th in all of baseball in run differential. On the wrong end. Next closest is 20 runs better. https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/run-differential More than half of their losses has been 4 or more runs. Their three wins are by a total of four runs. They are less than a handful of runs away from being winless. This is one of the weirder takes.

I've always been partial to "Yasmani Groundball" .

How did westeddy get wegner’s password?!

Challenge accepted.

Crochet has gotten worse each start pretty much. Already losing velocity, becoming less effective each start. Dude I don’t even use my little league pitchers as irresponsible as the White Sox are with their million dollar asset. And I’m a 39 year old dad trying to win a spring season trophy.

We don’t chase records… we shatter them.

Correction — “It’s going to take a new owner and GM.”

I’m sorry but it’s officially fucking time. Literally nothing to lose by doing so. Flame away!

Meh. I’m not going to laugh at players for trying to believe in each other.

I don’t know about anyone else, but feels like a W to me. Good job, boys.

Welcome to SoxTalk

Will the South Side ever staaand up again?

That is a calm and reasonable soliloquy....well done.

Connor Bedard would probably have a higher batting average than Vaughn

Too much negativity in here

I watch until my wife comes in and says "why the f*** are you watching this s%*#?" And then she puts on some true crime show.

I have to admire those who can sit and watch this train wreck. You all have amazing tenacity. I'd probably start drinking again

Eloy is gone man. Remember those monster shots to CF as a rookie? Even he’s just got nada these days. Dead off the bat.

Wheeler probably thinking whew I dodged a bullet

That could flash at the beginning of every Sox game.

They got a bag of s%*# instead of a bag of balls.

Even for those who did not/do not want Ozzie to manage again, you might agree that he would at least shake things up in the clubhouse and perhaps in the front office. Ozzie has said in his post-game comments that he might consider bringing up minor league players to give them a shot rather than watching the players we have fail to hit. I would be OK with that, even where control of players might be impacted. These are desperate times. The other thing is that Ozzie would add some interest for the media and for fans. Grifol has zero personality - a real dud. IMO. bringing Oz back at least on an interim basis is a no-brainer, but as much as JR is loyal to old employees, he also may hold grudges.

Funny enough, we were the Royals in the fall so I technically have 3 former Royals!

I know I tuned Pedro out during Spring Training.

…..spring training 2023

Majority of my life has been option 2. Always winning between 75-85 games and never being a threat to go all the way less 2005.

I think they tuned Pedro out during Spring Training.

I retract this.

NO MORE REBUILDS. They don’t work here. Sox fans need to accept this. There are two options going forward for this franchise 1. “Rebuild” and continue acquiring prospects who bust and patiently waiting for that dynasty that will never come. You all die at the end with nothing. 2. Do what they did from 1990-2014 and continue signing washed up boppers to supplement a meager farm and praying that something accidentally clicks. (And hope for a Frank Thomas…) With option 2 we probably get nothing, but once every 10 years we might get a random playoff run and 2-3 years of 2nd place collapses. With option 1 we get corpse ball and record breaking futility.

This makes it even more frustrating that they didn't do a real search to rebuild this organization because they "couldn't waste a year" now they come out and finally acknowledge this thing is nowhere close and its going to be a while.

Maybe Houston to replace Abreu, who's batting .073? Woof. ? But, yeah, Vaughn has to head to Charlotte and try to figure it out one last time.

Insane. All teams lose close games. This team is on pace to be one of the worst teams ever and could easily be winless right now.

Good call. 5.7 bb/9 is rough.

I would love to be in the room hearing Jerry and Chris's conversations: Jerry: "So hey Chris. I told them you'd be able to get us wins right away. WHAT THE f***." Chris: "Just hang on. It's all part of the plan." Jerry: "But we might be the worst team in the history of baseball." Chris: "These things take time." Jerry: "You're right. f*** the fans. I'm moving the team to Alaska. We'll rename them The Eskimos." Chris: "I'll drink to that."

That Mena trade looks awful.

Memorial Day weekend

Sure, but it's sad that he could possibly outhit these losers right now.

“We knew that it was going to be a challenge to play consistent winning baseball. And I say winning in terms of a wins and losses standpoint,” oh dang, winning in terms of the standpoint where you win instead of lose. interesting strategy, will it work?

I love no matter what happens in Chicago, Sportsvision is brought up at a negative, even though in 2024 is the exact business model that all teams use.
