It doesn’t matter who is “openly hostile”. Sometimes you earn hostility towards yourself. Right is right. This outsider had no right to come in here and tell Sox fans how to fan.

It’s from White Sox Beat (Merkin). I tried to post it all but for some reason it was stretching the page. But as far as I can tell, there’s no context which changes the meaning of that quote

If I knew how to delete one of these I would. Sorry

““Every sportscaster was piling the jokes on, ‘The Twins were sucking it up, and now, thankfully, the White Sox come to town, and they are going to get us right. I can’t wait. Wish we can play the White Sox all the time,’” Schriffen said. “The jokes like that, all the people who think they have jokes on us now, it’s like, ‘OK, haters, we see you, but we’ve got something coming for you.’”

Stop the hate!

Slow your roll ?

Certainly not plan A. I don’t know the family structure of Blackhawks ownership, but Bill Wirtz died and Rocky took over. The rest is history. Probably a one off to what usually happens, which is inherited mediocrity. But we seem to be locked into this situation. I stepped away from following the team after the Tatis deal, and had a wonderful time away. Then, they began an attractive youth movement, which was obviously a failed direction, but it brought me back. And now this s%*# show is how I am rewarded for taking the leap of faith. I’m sure I can’t go on like this.

Second place eh. Must be nice. I don’t know. One cannot explain Jerry unless you’re taking into account that Jerry probably appreciates safe steady money instead of chasing a more uncertain, increased overhead approach. We’re not going to be signing Ohtani type pkayers anytime soon. HAHAHA Ha Ha. Ha. Ah. a

I anticipate reality to feel like a release from bondage.

Whoops. Wrong number

58. But who’s counting.

inaccurate

Continuing as an annual apologist and consumer won't ever help the team get better. You wouldn't raise your children this way.

Tanking is fine if you know how to do it. There is no direction likely to work under an incompetent FO

I say again, Jerry isn't stupid. He is a liar

Well said. And Im not sure Getz is supposed to be accomplishing something better than status quo. But if he actually undershot the status quo historically as a miscalculation, bring it on. The star of the franchise is actually a milkshake.

I don’t have an answer for that, but status quo seems insane. We’re looking at the richest contract in franchise history in left field as illustrative of massive dysfunction of a moribund franchise. Just let it burn. Nothing’s going to happen positively either way. At least more people will point at Jerry Reinsdorf as a clown. At least people will look at his stadium proposal as a joke. At least he can’t relax in his suite if the team is a laughing stock that North America has never seen before. If Jerry is uncomfortable, that is worth something to me, because I’m pretty god damn uncomfortable.

Enthusiastically, unashamedly.

My prescription for this team to heal is to have the worst season in the history of sports in 2024

I’m actually rooting for this outcome. Something, anything it takes to set Jerry Reinsdorf on fire. Figuratively I guess, lol. The great thing about what happened to the Bears is that local and national media went after Nagy with torches and pitchforks at Halas hall. Not that Nagy wasn’t a scapegoat, because he was. But it took an angry mob to force wholesale change. It may not be possible to get wholesale change because in this case, While Reinsdorf is actually the problem, he is ownership also. But there literally needs to be an angry media and fanbase mob after this guy like the city has never seen before.

Even he isn’t that stupid. He’s just a liar.

This franchise keeps on not having a long term (minor league talent) sustainability project like the top tier teams have. I suspect even after this debacle, whatever talent is infused into the system to recover will be left to languish just like the current build was. And here we are, faced with an effort to rationalize our long term support of the Sox while the owner smokes his cigars and watches bemused as he has for decades.

Seriously hope he gets hot enough to trade. He won’t be a part of this team’s future by the time they get good. If they get good

Don't you threaten us
