When I say something like this it doesn't go over well on the board. Many feel I don't understand modern baseball and what it takes to build a winner.

Man, I didn't know many futility records were still available after last year. You know you can make the playoffs if you go .500 on the road. So some playoff caliber teams go .500. When you win on the average say 2 of every 10 road games, yikes, puts the pressure on your performance at home if u wanna win 60 games.

Wow maybe we have the Red Sox number and will sweep or win 2 of 3.

I wish the news outlets would put an intern in charge of doing a headcount at games. Seriously were there more than 800 fans actually there today?

When a team is not even trying to win, when it is affecting the playoffs because of certain teams getting to beat up the Sox more times than others, it's unfair and I would welcome the team getting contracted then bringing a new team to the south side. The Sox single-handedly were responsible for the Royals making the playoffs last year. Surprised no one is agreeing with me. I want Rate Field occupied, just not with Jerry's minor league team that plays a major league schedule.

No worse than the garbage product on the field the past many months/years. It's disgraceful how many opponents' seasons the Sox turn around after getting swept by them. Add the A's to the list.

Would there be an uproar in Chicago if the Sox moved? Seriously. Would anybody actually care in 2025 if the Sox said they were playing the rest of the season in Vegas with plans to relocate to Nashville?

Veeck at least tried to sell seats and bring in at least one intriguing name: He brought in Zisk, Blumberg, who else, a batch of guys. And the low paid stiffs he brought in were way better than the current throw ins.

I don't care but I like amusing stats that embarrass our owner.

I had a question: Is our pitching on the whole way worse this season? The first handful of games it looked like we might have a surprise excellent pitching staff. Same question about the everyday lineup. Is it worse or does the improved defense make the everyday lineup better than last year? So I won't be accused of only asking, I'd say our pitching staff may actually be a lot worse and the everyday lineup a little better with Sosa and Meidroth. If Beni and Vaughn start hitting that's four good hitters.

Very true. But no dummy, he knew he was walking into 100 losses minimum. So it's on him. His wallet is probably happy. Certainly he's making more than he did as a mere coach.

They lost me. Used to never miss a game. This season and last no mlb.com and I wouldn't watch an inning if you sent me a free yearly subscription to do so.

I wonder how many people really were there. Seriously, was there more than 1,000?

Is Sosa emerging? He's up to .280 in old man's stats. Give the A's credit. They did what the Central Division teams did vs. the Sox last year. Feast on them and help turn their seasons around.

Tiny crowd. Saw it on twitter; highlight of Baldwin homer. This 12th round pick might be a keeper. Baldwin baby. To go with Meidroth.

When you lose as long as the Sox have lost and your owner has made it clear you are suckers as fans and you can either root for this crap product or take a hike, you get jaded and don't mind criticism of the wretched team/organization. Jerry hasn't apologized once, has he, for this crud?

Is Robert the most overrated player in Sox history? He's still just 27 so I guess he has the statlovers drooling that he still has 4 seasons to rake before he's worthless and over the hill cause of age. How could any team justify paying Mr. K a ton of money?

I hate when teams do this. It can't help a prospect when he's stuck in the pasture of LF when he has no outfielder instincts at all. As much as rabid fans talk about not "rushing" a guy, a team has the audacity to bring a guy up and play him where he'll be scared and have embarrassing results.

Even though I confessed the other day it doesn't hurt to lose any more since I'm so used to it, there's really no harm in rooting for wins. You don't even get the No. 1 pick assured when you have a team as bad as the Sox were last year. Especially early in the season when the Sox are not mathematically buried a win is rather nice, especially at home where the loyal fans paid good money.

Meidroth is tremendous no doubt, but it is nationally embarrassing that the Sox refuse to keep good things (phenoms like Crochet). Sad that a big city team operates like it is broke. Love me some Meidroth obviously. Would rather have Crochet though as he is truly special. Embarrassing loss today because of the near no-no.

I think it's pretty obvious the Sox have improved their defense from last year and have learned how to be mediocre to good in Rate Field. Our division sucks this year so it's kind of sad the Sox didn't try to make a few more acquisitions that could have gotten us to .500 and contention in our division. At any rate, this Sox team is proving managers do matter. This team is capable of contention in the Central once we bring up a few more guys as we did with Meidroth.

Obviously Meidroth should have started the season with the team. Maybe we wouldn't be 3-10. Good call, Sox.

Maybe the Sox will be a good home team this year and ultimately learn how to play on the road. This team seems better than last year's. Meidroth has a chance to be a hero with the fans after tonight. His AAA manager had all those great things to say about him in the video. He could be special.

Meidroth and Martin. The M and M boys of summer on the southside.

Why are people so mean in the message board world and social media world? Why not be helpful at all times?
