Reminder: I'm done with the topic. Believe what u wish.

Twenty seven complete games. Interesting I'd love to see a study on this. In depth as in, where are the complete games coming from, what pitchers? Do those pitchers have old school pitching coaches or managers? Is 100 pitches the basic norm? What were the pitch counts for the 27 complete games? Were those starters old guys or ones that simply had pitch count at about 105? It's amazing how nobody ever talks W/L record any more. That used to be THE standard for Cy Young pretty much the only standard unless a reliever had a ton of saves and was in consideration. Who's gonna win Cy this year? Probably go on total strikeouts or if anybody has piled up a lot of saves.

When this season ends the Sox won't receive one word of publicity until winter meetings, maybe not even then. Sox can't wait for this season to end so they can go do what they do in total privacy. Can you imagine anybody buying season tickets for 2025? I guess you'd have to be a rich guy with absolutely nothing to do. The Sox have changed the way that 'fans' look at baseball. There used to be some angst on a given day wondering if your fave team will win. Now ... with 33 wins we lose virtually every day so losing is no biggie anymore. In fact we get a sick pleasure in seeing the losses pile up ... 113, 114, 115 and on.

Kudos to his manager then for letting him finish it. Almost would never happen with modern day baseball and pitch counts. How many games this season has a starter finished let's say 8 innings? Less than five for sure.

Are the Cubs going to make the playoffs? I say no. Four games is a lot to make up on one team. You'd have to win at an amazing clip the final 3 weeks.

How many pitches did he throw? To Dylan's credit musta been 100ish cause nobody's letting pitchers go 120, 130.

So we are in mid September and the Sox have had no highlights this season. Isn't that amazing? None. Maybe Crochet had some sensational outing of Ks or something to maybe qualify as a highlight but night in and out all the Sox did was lose. I wonder if Reinsdorf even talks about the White Sox with friends. Should be a taboo subject.

Isn't that home record even worse if u go several games before the break? I wonder if Sox home record is worse in modern history and I wonder if that 1-22 is worse since the break in modern history. Their record really looks impossible to attain on paper. When u see 33 wins, 113 losses in mid September, OMG. Please tell me why there's no public reprimand from the commish. This season will never be forgotten. Unless next season is worse.

I think Kasper is really good, it's just that voice. But I've been in the car a couple times and caught some innings on Sirius and Kasper and DJ are really a delight to listen to. I could get used to the voice. But I'll say this: Kasper handles the Sox ineptness well. He tells it like it is without belaboring the Sox horribleness. DJ is wonderful. The two as a team: B-plus, only cause of Len's voice. I could go A-. TV broadcast: Stone A; new guy D. So they get a C.

Like the old days when some of you ripped me on here a lot, you win. I acknowledge I'm a huge Cub fan and an even bigger Royals fan. I have always despised the Sox and have no history with them. Peace out (my last post on the matter).

Yeah I like to waste 20 years of my life on a Sox message board cause I worship the Cubs. You appear to be trying to bait me into getting mad and possibly banned again. You act like I should be watching 9 innings of Sox baseball per night. Are you one of the 1 percent of Chicago natives watching games? Would a Cub fan know who Bill Nahorodny is? Or Joel Horlen? Or Cisco Carlos or Luis Alvarado? Or Alan Bannister? Or Dwyane Wise? Yeah I'm a huge Cub fan. I should play along and look up some Cub stats. What is your motivation to question greg's fandom suddenly? You are certifiably different.

I like the word 'dig' as a verb. As well as the participle 'digging'

A cynic would suggest you are going back to the sad days when you despised greg and fought me on here a lot and u could be accused of baiting me so to speak. Oddly enough the Sox had decent records those years.

The Royals rushed Witt. He was on the team in their 100 loss season.

I said all along I wasn't paying for mlb.com this year. My first year without it. And I made the right call. I'm pretty sure I predicted 40 wins for this team, maybe even in the 30s if we could find the thread. Why the heck may I ask you would I watch this crap at 95 bucks a year? I made the correct call. I've made no secret of the fact I only watch the free game summaries oddly enough on mlb.com. Free. They generally account for every run in the game as well as pitching performance.

How bout Ozzie or Joe Maddon. Both know Chicago and both have managed winners. Let's face it the manager means nothing when the team is this bad personnel wise. So give it to somebody who will gladly take the money and yet aggressive enough to ask for talent. It's not like Skip is Earl Weaver for gosh sakes.

How was Ozzie as an analyst postgame all season? Was he ultra negative? Who were his main guys to criticize?

The Sox rolled over and stunk against KC all season, so they owe it to the Guardians to continue to stink for Cleveland this series. Sox have gotten the Royals back on track 2-3 times already this season. They should be fair to Cleveland and get swept by the Guardians too.

Man, three years is a long time to stink. Almost an entire college career. ... Going from a little kid (10) to a teenager (13). ... For most people an entire tenure at their first real job. Woe.Is.Us.Sox.Fans.

True. You get a hit or a HR and it means something with KC, not with our team.

It was my way of always disapproving of his acquisition. Didn't need to be playing that guy over anybody young. I'd rush Montgomery. The Royals are in the playoffs cause of 1 1/2 players, Witt and Salvy. And here we think we have to tear it all down. Take your good players, baby, and pair 'em with a superstar or two (Robert, Eloy, Monte, Crochet). Coach up Robert and Eloy to be special since they were supposed to be special.

Yeah my initial excitement subsided when I saw his offensive stats are not good this season in almost 200 at bats. .215ish, one homer, 14 ribbies. It's amazing how few players the Sox have that would generate any happiness to a fan. Mabe Benintendi can teach him how to elevate. Benitendi hit a few homers this season after what, one or so the year before?

Ah Juan Pierre. I really used to blast him on this forum. I did not like him. Now? Juan Pierre would be fine on this team. One of the best players for sure.

Could he be the next Rowand?

I can't see why anybody with a name would want the Sox job when there's no plan to improve the team anytime soon.
