The Sox have dug such a hole that the only coverage of this team should be media members who cover the team mocking the team, criticizing the team, wondering aloud day after day how it could get this bad. The Sox deserve this. There's nothing positive going on involving this team. No players except Crochet worth following really. I mean Lee is a nice surprise and Ramos but there's no reason to report as if there are any positives with the franchise. Even Crochet is gonna be shut down at some ridiculously early date. Since our people in charge are not treating this like a competitive sport, I truly wish they'd just do wacky promotions like guest announcers for games, multiple managers the rest of the season (after they fire Pedro). The Sox are not worthy of being in MLB so I just wish they'd make it a Veeck-like comedy show. Maybe even show Stooges shorts on the scoreboard during the games or fireworks after every game.

That is not necessarily so. Change would require a new owner and his owning the team has nothing to do with wins/losses. I enjoyed our 8-6 hot streak I must admit. It's no fun to root for a team this horrible in all facets of the game. The Sox front office should walk through the stands in the eighth inning and give the remaining fans coupons for free tickets or free parking at least. Seriously.

If the Sox would reduce prices a ton and/or give away free food/drink to the poor fans who attend these games, maybe then the fans wouldn't resort to chanting. That would be funny if Ozzie accepted the job only on the condition they immediately release several of these moribund hitters and pitchers.

LOL. Bassitt mows us down. Actually Sox got 10 hits today, whoopie, but only one run. Still Bassitt five innings, no runs, 7 K's. One huge LOL. Looking forward to hearing Sheets HR call on the mlb,com replay. Our announcer usually insults us by freaking out in joy despite the big picture hovering over everything. Suddenly the Sox reek at home again to go with the dismalness on the road. I truly wish baseball would contract the Sox. Mabe we could get an exhibition team or the Rays move to Chicago or something.

I love Ditka. He brought us a title. Not easy to do.

Pedro is the best ... scapegoat ever to manage an MLB team. Explanation: Sure he's horrible but in all fairness, given the same talent no manager could avoil 105 losses with this team. MAYBE an Earl Weaver or Jim Leyland could account for five more wins than Pedro will end up with in late September, but that's all. This.Team.Blows.

I watched the interview on yahoo. I feel sorry for Pedro now. I'm sure the guy is trying. It's just a mess from top to bottom starting with Jerry and then Getz. Pedro is third on the blame list. I know he makes top dollar but I still feel a bit sorry for him. He's trying to win MLB games with a MILB team. I mean MLB teams just don't lose 4 game series and play as badly in all phases in the game as the Sox. Poor Pedro. Maybe that should be a new T shirt design. Reads Poor Pedro on the front and his picture. On the back names of all the players and the text "Historically bad season."

I've heard Pedro was not considered managerial timber by the KCR's. Look they had a chance to hire him, a young loyal soldier, and didn't. Why didn't the Sox see that as a red flag? Ozzie watch. Why not? This team is a walking cache of mummies. Even those who can't forgive Ozzie for quitting should admit it'd be fun to see him kick some bleep while being entertaining after loss after loss. When I see Ozzie speak I am entertained and happy. Sports should make u happy and entertained. Hire him for four months baby.

That's cause all areas of the team are substandard so at least one gets u every night. Tonight it's hitting. On nights we score five or more it'll either be bullpen or starting pitching. Getz built a team substandard in all areas except 'maybe' defense. Defense allegedly is OK.

By the way Schiff should be embarrassed by his home run call on Mendick blast. He was all hyped and excited. I think he did the 'stand up' b.s. Look our fans are not dumb. Schiff just calm down when we're down 4-0 in the 8th and getting no hit. Manufactured enthusiasm, bah. Harry Caray and Piersall would be so hard on this team.

You know, it is embarrassing to lose 4 games in a row at home especially. Amazing how nobody in the Sox organization cares. This is almost highway robbery, taking money from fans for this crap. Almost got no hit. Geez. I wish somebody would say how embarrassed they are. Even the Pham addition has now worn off.

Who was Kessinger's primary pitching coach to run the staff. Certainly Don was too busy hitting .230 and playing defense to be concentrating on managing a pitching staff during the game.

Ozzie would have had a zillion funny sound bites compared to none from Pedro. Who am I kidding though. With a team this bad he'd probably say something outrageous that doesn't fly in 2024. That wouldn't be so good.

I'm just like you Mite. I never was fair weather either until they insulted me with this roster So they finally got me to give up. Consider doing what I do. Just catch the score off this site or MLB and watch the highlights on mlb.com for free under game story after the game. Check the box score after the game and u can keep up on how the guys are hitting/pitching. You really won't miss watching the live action. I don't. It really is a waste of precious time to watch these guys play baseball live.

I watch highlights but haven't watched a live second either. There have to be tons of former Sox fanatics like me who do this. Sox popularity in Chicago must be very very low.

I didn't realize we were counting Robert in the Eloy "always hurt" category. I thought he had a little better chance of staying healthy. Maybe my bad. ... Still you can't tell me the Sox will EVER "speed up that process." Not as long as they have this stupid new philosophy of tank jobs even though the draft order process has changed.

27-25 record and 3.5 out of first. It just shows you (tank lovers) that it doesn't take much to be a contender for playoffs. All the Sox have to do is flirt with .500 and get hot one month. But instead they mess around with this tanking crap for 10 years and are the dregs of the entire league. I wish the Sox would get some common sense. We need a do-over starting with the Sale trade year. Sox have the worst team in baseball by far and no plan. Nice.

Geez. I'm still waiting for somebody on the board to instruct greg on the Sox plan with all this?? You do realize the team will have an even worse record next year after the complete destruction of the roster right?

True, why do people stick by Kopech? He is terrible. By the end of the season we may only have 1-2 players on any other team's radar. I still think Pham could help a team that needs an outfielder with a decent bat like the Royals. Why would anybody want Crochet if he has some pitching inning limit?

20 out with no plan. Sox are probably going to do what everybody suggests on here: get rid of all players not named Robert. That will require management to acquire a new collection of stiffs to start the 2015 season. Any pitcher worth a flip will be traded meaning we'll need a whole new set of starters and relievers. The bullpen will be even worse next year. The hitting will be the same. Sox will win about 40 to 50 games again and we'll all be happy cause we're tanking/rebuilding baby. Orioles deserve credit for dusting off the White Sox three days in a row. No excuses for them to not sweep.

If we lose all four games of a four-game series again, somebody should be fired. Oops, my bad. Jerry will probably take it out on an usher or somebody. Don't mean for them to get fired. I'd start with Pedro on Sunday and let Oz or Tony take over for a month or two.

As greg said earlier in predicting 40ish wins there's always some part of our team that will implode on a given day. Today it's relief pitching and hitting. The starting pitching was good. Five hits offensively won't cut it. So yes we lose 7 or 8 out of every 10. Man Kopech should change the picture on his drivers license to a meatball. Dig in when you face Kopech. Boom. Home run. Nice meatball by Leisure too. Leisure makes me wish I had to work today.

It's not his fault true. He can get over any criticism by counting all the money he's making for basically contributing nothing. They should at least start training him to be a scout or something. Put him to work as he's never gonna contribute on the field more than 10 games at a time then eight weeks off, then 10 days at a time then 12 weeks off.

I was gonna give your post a like til your final sentence. Disagree there.

Hmm Lugo was available last offseason. Sox asleep at the wheel. We needed cheap pitching and coulda got him. 8-1.
