I honestly think that if Grifol got the boot, Justin Jirschele would ascend to the MLB manager's seat. If not this year, then next. I like Ozzie. I don't think he completely burnt out his team, but he completely ruined his reputation by hanging Dunn out to dry during a career slump, then Ozzie quit on the team due to contract garbage. The more I type, the more I realize he would never be asked to manage again. Unless, of course, if Reinsdorf thought it would light a spark...

@chitownsportsfan, I don't know what the Tony LaRussa emoji means. Are you drinking and driving?

I don't think he wore out the team like Ditka. The lack of 2nd chances probably stems from the Castro remarks and his calling Jay Mariotti bad names. Motivated, I think Ozzie could get the most out of these guys. They don't have the sluggers, so maybe they could eke out an extra run or two a game and win a few.

So you're saying, they should fire him tonight, but promise him a good reference, and they won't challenge his unemployment?

Dude, I 100% agree with you on that.

No team is good as they look on a winning streak, and they're not as bad as they look on a losing streak. We can all play the game of, "Oh noes!!! Will they win 10 games?!? I am so forlorned!!" Without looking it up, I seem to remember Salvy being not as bad, defensively, as Maldonado. They need anybody to start hitting.

He wouldn't be an automatic out in the 8 or 9 spot. Dude hits. With a fragile Eloy, you could park him as the DH, and have Stassi and Lee catch. I don't think KC would have traded him, tho. But it's not quite the "I am rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off at you" thought game everybody treated it like when we were signing DeJong and Pillar.

I've had it hammered into my head, here, that our farm system is barren of prospects beyond Colson Montgomery.

Then I have a great idea, Goofy. If my comments hurt your fee-fees so horribly, why don't you just "ignore"? I scroll through so many of your dumb comments I fear my eyes will get stuck in "rolling" mode. Your little, incoherent temper tantrum certainly didn't call anybody out. Maybe you should find a hobby. Like not trying to police the internet. F-asterisk-asterisk-asterisk your own self off.

And you're an argumentative tool who needs to prove something. You're the only one getting angry, here. A couple others calmly explained why Perez wasn't preferable. You take exception that opinions you don't agree with can exist on the internet. Why does other people wanting to be right make you angry? Did you have an unhappy childhood? And besides, you can't blame me. Apparently, Jerry Reinsdorf is responsible for all bad behavior on White Sox boards. Take it up with him.

You already asked who cares. I guess the answer to that question is that Paulie4Pres cares, very, very much. Why do you care about spending Reinsdorf's money? That's the weirdest thing. Everybody screams that Reinsdorf is cheap, then collapses into a ball and cries about spending his money. They should trade for Perez, then sign him to a 5-year $120 million extension so that everyone could finally celebrate having a $100 million contract. Then everyone would be happy. Including you.

Then who fucking cares if it's a small sample size? Seems like you're going for even more meaningless wins. Maybe you can find the one person you're trying to impress and just ask them for a hug.

Wow, are you a baseball scout or something? You seem really smart about baseball. LOL. Guess what? Pick any offensive number, and Perez's will be better than Maldonado's. I'm happy to have explained that to you.

Do you know what a .761 lifetime OPS is?

I'd promote Colas, demote Vaughn, fire Grifol, promote Justin Jirschele. It's actually funny that everyone screamed that they didn't want Salvy Perez on this team. Dude's OPSing .879. Can't have that because Royals.

There are two teams without a win, yet. They really haven't been "the worst".

Maldonado should be the day game after night game catcher, at this point.

I can only imagine the only reason Lee isn't starting a day game after a night game is they want Crochet pitching to Moldonado.

I think a Colas for Fletcher flip, or DeLoach for Fletcher - is one that Getz is just waiting to see if that's one he doesn't have to make. Fletcher was supposed to be the answer, and he's just being exposed. Flexen as an inning muncher works. I know it's KC, but if he can get through 5-6 with 2-3 runs on the board, he's done his job.

It's a fucking baseball team. I already have problems in my life to dwell on and be miserable about if that's the route I want to go. All online Sox commenting areas become negative echo chambers, and everybody just starts spouting the dumbest, wrong s%*#. Continue to do it. I really don't care. I can scroll.

Dude, we scroll past hundreds of negative comments and can just ignore them. It's when one points out a simple fact, and then weather a deluge of people calling us delusional, Jerry's nephew, kiss-ass, lapdog etc. that it becomes a bit excessive. As I've said, it's not just here. Twitter is ridiculous. I get that any Sox convo right now is going to be heavily negative. But it's BS deflection to say that any problem with negative people should be passed onto the White Sox. Seriously, if you're going to do that, don't scold us for pushing back. Go scold Reinsdorf for making me push back against non-factual nonsense.

I have.

All of Sox online chat gets overrun by people who don't want any positive talk about the Sox. Twitter, SoxMachine, here, there's always trolls who have to ask if a comment is a joke, or to just accuse people who aren't even being positive, just acknowledging reality of working for the White Sox. Yes, this team is exhausting right now. There are no good options.

This team is exhausting. I would hope Lee, Sosa, and Fletcher play as much as possible. The pitching still isn't the catastrophe it's been sold as, here. Grifol just sucks as a game manager. They can't score runs. I'd be bunting every single time they got 2 on. The double plays are killing them.
