Those who hate me on this board won't have me around anymore if they do another rebuild. That's when I sadly quit baseball. If they start trying to lose again, I'm done with the sport.

Folks should be fired for signing Grandal. Folks should be fired for acquiring Moncada. Folks should be fired for acquiring Keuchel and Kelly and many other lousy pitchers on the roster. Also folks should be fired for signing Pollock and Harrison. Horrible.

This current stretch is rock bottom. Sox suddenly have a horrific nucleus for next season. There should be some sort of rebuild plan coming that does not involve tanking for 5 years and the draft. First step is to attempt to get rid of the many lousy players on this team so there's some money to spend, I know ... lol, good luck with that. If they could somehow trade Moncada and Grandal that'd be a nice start. Maybe on a cold, sleety January evening some dumb GM would trade for those 2.

Good for the Guardians. Teams that win the Central Division actually get fired up to play Central Division teams. Sox could never handle the unbalanced schedule. They have been owned by the Central teams in the 19-game series each season. And oh goodie, more Central games coming up vs. Minnie. This unbalanced schedule has ruined baseball in my opinion. Sickening to play these same teams over and over. Sox players get paid good money though to play in these boring games. They get an F for their performance vs. The Central. Tony shiould be embbarrassed at his part in all this too.

First time I've ever wanted a season to end. Not hyperbole. This team, combined with playing in the worst era in baseball history regarding rules of the game, stupid playoff formats, dead ball one year live ball the next, tanking b.s., is just clamoring for the offseason. Thus the slogan: Sox baseball: "We look good in the winter after a few moves; we reek from April til October."

You said it. Sox have no chance now for the first time in a while. Not counting the years when they were trying to lose, this is the bleakest future for the franchise in a long time. I don't even know what they can do. I would think if they can stay a .500 team that in itself would be a miracle. Play .500 and hope some guys emerge as stars like AV.

My goodness. The White Sox cannot beat Central Division teams. Embarrassing.

I've watched less this year than any year in my life, but still usually catch a few innings of every game and definitely open the box score, mainly to see if Jose is still around .310. Hahn needs to return to building a team that fits GRate Field. It's still a good home run park even with the dead ball. On another note, I remember in 2005 thinking how great it's going to be to dominate the division for years to come with Ozzie at the helm leading the way. I never ever though anything but Ozzie being the Sox Tom Lasorda and the Sox ruling the division like the Braves did theirs that long stretch under Cox. Unfortunately Oz imploded cause his ego grew even bigger and bigger and he couldn't shut up to the press and worship his kids instead of telling them to shut up. I would have never thought the Sox would not win another title after 05. Never. Now the club is a total mess. It needs so much you'd have to call what it needs a "rebuild." Ugh I hate to do that.

I'm surprised u've given up on him. I kinda feel like he's the Sox one true prospect. I'm not as high on Eloy any more. Robert is so disappointing with injuries, too.

Is there any chance AV is young enuf to improve defensively? He's had a pretty dandy year for a 24-year old. Isn't there a slight chance if he works on the lift and pull thing he could hit 40-50 HRs a year (especially the years there's a live ball)?

Just tuned in. Wonder if Jerry R cares enough to make wholesale changes. This team not only blows chunks but is unlikeable.

If Bennetti loves baseball he'd be dumb to leave. Once you get named to these gigs, teams keep you forever. So what if he could do college football, basketball. There aren't any nfl openings on the big networks are there? He's young. He should do the Sox gig until something huge huge comes along. He's got to be making great money and these side gigs must pay a ton. How bout grab Rob Thompson from the Phils as manager. Worked in Yankee system forever. Knows winning. Pay him. Bring back dave dombroski as GM. That's all.

By the way, is Madrigal going to start for the cubs again next year? Is he still a prospect or a bust?

I think it's lack of talent. Also poor coaching and poor training. Our hitters are horrible and obviously the hitting coach has either a bad philosophy of hitting or is just incompetent. Pitchers ... it's also talent. Cueto and Cease and Liam are pretty good the rest overrated. Sox have so many holes I'm just shocked they are over .500.

How bad is Rice gonna lose to Loyola, MC and Marist? Badly? Like blowout bad? Don't think our alums who must have liked the Badke era will be pleased with new coach's results. Blowouts have been a thing of the past for the most part the past 5 or more years.

Not sure they are quitters. They just are no good. Hitters have terrible approach and lacked power this year. Defense they just don't have the ability. And the pitchers are five inning wonders. Big deal. Relievers are minor league quality for the most part. Sad.

Seven hits. One big LOL. Nobody with more than one hit on the team tonite. Cleveland owning the Sox in maybe the most embarrassing series of the season. Disgusting. Just bring up AAA orAA players and give them a few at bats at this point.

"Chicago White Sox: We rarely hustle but when we do we get hurt."

Didn't the Sox play a lot of Central teams early, stink against them and set the tone for their quick starts? Like the Twins? Sox are so arrogant to not get gritty and grimy and do what it takes to beat Central teams instead of flop against them.

Sox go out with a whimper. Most boring disappointing season I can remember in a long time. Poor old Tony kind of set the tone for the season I hate to say just from his being 77 and mumbling all the time and looking lethargic. This team fittingly should finish .500. It doesn't deserve to finish over .500. It's a .500 team. Hard sell for ticket customers for 2023. I guess you make a highlight film of Eloy and Cease and try to sell them as worth the price of admission.

I am on the record as saying I don't believe in the team core. The team has a lot of work to become good I say. Pitching: Not necessarily the starters' fault, but they are modern baseball five inning wonders meaning the second half of the game is basically up for grabs on a nightly basis (cept for Dylan sometimes). Sox bullpen blows. Needs major work. Pitching not near contender status. Core: Moncada (I've given up; great defensive player tho so I would not be against keeping him, just realizing he ain't gonna hit like I once thought). Eloy: Love him but gets hurt so much. Got to somehow eliminate the injuries. Jose: 72 RBI isn't close to last year's total but I still think he can drive in 75-90 next season. His defense is better than people say. Still love him. Grandal: Ha. He's toast. Timmy: Love him lots; Gets hurt. Good guy to keep. 2B: Laughable. Get rid of all. Robert: Like him, gets hurt too much. Not so high on him anymore. Pollock: Laughable. Bye bye please. Sheets, Vaughn: If the Sox are gonna contend ever again they believe it or not are key. They either turn into studs, which they could, or they play the .250 20 HR game. If they emerge as all star types I'd be a little higher on sox future. I still say we're the new Baltimore Orioles. Going nowhere. p.s. I do like Cueto. He, Cease, Jose and Eloy had good years. Vaughn pretty good too for a 24-year-old. Cheers to him.

Somebody needs to discuss why the Sox are so lame against the Central Division. Even when healthy the Sox lose so many to pathetic teams.

I was so against it from the start. Terrible way to build a winner. In my world we kept Sale forever (even tho he has gotten hurt as people thought he would). I need to watch some 2005 Sox baseball to get in a better mood. ... as I pointed out then, draft picks are a crapshoot and yes the Sox whiffed on many during the tank job years. And baseball completely changed and as I've said a lot the team is in no way built for modern baseball. Peace out.

Man you'd have to have a lot of time and money on your hands to buy White Sox season tix for 2023.

Yeah, Naylor does what we all knew he'd do. Sox are one huge LOL in 2022.
