I wonder if Jerry even watches the games. He used to love baseball. This brand of ball has to sicken him. I mean the Sox don't hit the long ball so not a lot of blowout wins are possible for Chi. Our bullpen is so bad it's nothing but heartache after the sixth inning. Normally Sox strike out way more than they walk and often there's a blunder defensively that causes upchucking. So my point is Jerry can't be enjoying watching this and being out of contention in April. Sadly the Pedro hire looks like another bad hire. He seems like a nice guy but the losses are gonna pile up for him. ...

Elvis should be the first to dump. Yes he should. No bat. No pop in his bat at all. He's done baby.

So the Sox haven't come close to a victory since blowing Game One vs. Tampa. That's so White Sox. We already can point to a moment everybody gave up basically? This franchise I hate to say needs Ricky Renteria back. It's time to right that unfair firing and get the gods of baseball back on our side. Unacceptable. We're close to needing some firings again.

Should I rent The Whale or A Man Called Otto? Are they good enuf? Thank u.

I told everybody KC fans were happy to see Beni go. Negative reax so I shut up. He is what he is. Would be an acceptable piece on great team. Zero power, gets on base which has some value, good defender. Will hit about 25 home runs total thru his five-year deal with the Sox if he's fortunate.

So the Sox as we all knew they would just rolled over and died after blowing the first game of the series cause of their horsebleep bullpen. Wow. Pedro is officially just another manager, isn't gonna be getting this flawed roster to 'overachieve.' All I can say is I hope fans who attend home games get great deals on the secondary market this season. Paying real prices for this team, wow, you must have a lot of disposable income.

I hate being such a negative fan. It sucks. My problem is I need to stop watching the sport I've grown to hate for so many reasons. If I can't enjoy the games I need to divorce myself from new baseball. My disdain started with the tanking which I figured wouldn't work and didn't. I need to work on being more positive or finally leave the game for good. Sorry some of us are so down.

I'm shocked any pitcher would draw a massive contract nowadays. As good as Cease is, you assume he's gonna pitch five, six innings. Some games like all starters he only goes 4 or 5. Remember the days a 4 inning start was a total anomaly? My point is, four, five, six innings? Yawn. I have nothing against Cease but if somebody wants to sign him 8 years, 40 mill a year or something, go ahead. I wouldn't pay any pitcher a huge salary until the role of pitcher gets figured out in the future. ... My guess is we are still trainwrecking toward all pitchers going 2 innings max. The good to great ones will allow 0 runs in 2 inns and strike out 5 or 6.

How old is Dombroski. Bring him back.

What a boring, long game. I bet the Sox announcers said the Sox lost a thriller. Sox hitters too many Ks too few walks and homers. The last pitcher was the one who failed again. Cease goes 100 pitches, five innings. Sox I've said it before are ill equipped for the modern game. Somebody posted on here recently the Sox are going to lose a gazillion close games. Only wins they'll have are a few blowouts here and there on nights the offense is blazing.

Or ... Tampa, which is off to a magical start, was due for a stinker, tried to give an easy one to the Sox with some miserable at bats in the sixth, seventh and eighth, then woke up in the ninth, doing just enuf to beat a bad team. Sorry to be a d--k but I don't like the "team has a lot of fight in it" statement when the Rays put the Sox away with one good inning late. They won a game they shoulda lost pretty much cause those are our White Sox, a very bad ballclub.

Fair enuf. I think you and I coulda found a second baseman if they woulda let us. Easiest spot in the lineup to fill in MLB.

Or they could win the next two, lose the next two or go 1-1. Kidding. Just had to end with a little joke after that weird ending. Can u imagine being a media type interviewing Pedro and Lopez after this one? Ouch.

I listened to the Rays announcers the last four innings. Wasn't in the mood for Gordo's weird accent and whatever Jason was saying tonight. Not too bad a crew with the Rays. They weren't homers, praised the Sox a bit. They were OK. Lopez was sure tossing meat up there. Wowsie.

Not even mad. Too may innings to cover with this pen. Horrific loss though even tho the game is kinda meaningless.

Sox look like a real team tonight so far. One more inning to cover successfully and the bullpen can take a bow. Should be interesting to see Lopez in the ninth.

I don't agree cause Oscar had a good night going at the plate and might as well see how he fares against lefties in big-time situations early in his career. Game is somewhat meaningless at this point and Sox do have a two-run lead. Let Colas bat.

I love Colas but he had no chance there vs. the lefty. Not a good hack on strike three from the lefty. Should be interesting if a good team like the Rays will hit our pen or we win.

The Sox got what most fans wanted in Pedro -- just another guy who nobody has heard of who won't say anything of note at news conferences, won't do anything dumb, just blend in and be boring if that's the right word. Sox couldn't hire another former Sox player. Truth be known it might have been time to bring Robin back or Oz back. Or admit a mistake and bring Ricky back. It'd be nice to have a manager (AJP?) who might have the clout to demand the Sox actually acquire some baseball players who can field the ball and pitch the ball. Pedro will be a good, boring company man who probably will be shown the door in a year or two if Sox keep stinking even tho it's not his fault.

The 2016 White Sox won 78 games. The next season was the tank. I contend had we not tanked we could have taken the field in 2017 with Abreu, Anderson and Frazier in the infield. We could have found a 2Bman somewhere or played Leury there. Outifield of Avi, Melky and Eaton. Omar at catcher. Davidson or somebody at DH. Then as starters: Sale, Quintana, Rodon and coulda picked up somebody; Nate Jones and Robertson in the pen. I contend it coulda been business as usual for the Sox, try to sign some free agents to go with our core and win the ol' fashioned way. In retrospect, tanking was evil and for those of you who believe in hexes, the baseball gods have penalized us. We haven't done squat since the tank. As long as the Sox woulda been willing to sign some free agents, the tank wasn't necessary. Especially in hindsight. Only Cease appears to be great.

The smart thing to do would be to team up with the Bears, leave the city and build a Dallas Cowboys like palace at Arlington. Caulfield had a nice post as far as rebuilding. This team is so unlikeable I'd be all for trading everybody except Robert and Anderson and try to sign GOOD young players and be like the no-name Rays.

100 percent true. He may not be a bust completely but he's not a special player. His defense and offense both are above average though which makes him one of the better overall players on this team.

Look, Moncada needs to play 2B and Burger third. Case closed. Then release or trade Elvis. 3B ... yes it's nice to have a great defender over there like Robin, but it's one of the easiest positions to be adequate. Burger will be a D over there, not an F. Yes a D reeks but with Moncada at 2B that's the best we can do now. If Moncada won't play 2B, fine him or suspend him or whatever. Keeping Sox players happy doesn't matter anymore with a non contending joke of a team. So what do you think? The Sox backups in the infield are worst options than Leury was so keep Elvis as the new Leury if u don't trade him. An infield of Burger, Tim, Moncada and a sieve at first (Vaughn, Sheets) would be a C to C minus no worse than a D-plus. Who else is demanding Burger 3B and Moncada 2B?

They'll draw OK on the nights there are deals. Do the Sox have any nights there's free parking and one dollar dogs? Those nights are the only ones they'll sniff 20,000 fans. Cept for the Yanks, Bosox.
