Merkin/Grifol..."By no means is this over"
The reason the Sox suck isn’t Pedro Grifol. But, and I was very impressed with his introductory press conference when hired, he’s all talk. The team isn’t prepared. They were still on break last night. They don’t hustle. They don’t control the zone like we were told they will on both sides of the ball. In fact, they are one of baseballs worst. He has no guts to put TA in a different slot I’m the order. His bullpen usage is wacky. Hitters seem like they never have read a scouting report or looked at video at way too many pitchers. The best manager in the world may have this team in contention because they only have to be around .500. It’s rather obvious Pedro is in over his head. What exactly does he bring that Ricky Renteria did not? A competent front office would let him go at the end of the season. A competent owner would let the GM go by now. I have the feeling they all will be back next year. If they are and somehow put together a team that should be decent, Pedro’s bad managing will be a reason they failed. Just another in a long line of JR, KW, RH mistakes.

We’re going to control the strike zone on both sides of the ball.

It’s shocking where TA is now. This guy won a batting title. Now he looks like a guy they pulled from the stands to take a few cuts. Tonights game may be ugly.

So if this is accurate, the White Sox have had 2 7 game winning streaks the last 10.5 seasons. FIRE RICK HAHN

That's pretty cool.

Sox Draft 2023
I agree. I have no problem with them drafting SS. If they drafted 6 SS and they all could play, unlike other positions, they could find a spot for them. CF could play either corner. C and P are obvious.

Sox Draft 2023
The great thing about drafting SS is that most, if they can play SS, can play anywhere except P and C. Although, a guy like TA, would be a good C.

The last White Sox 2nd round pick that put up over 2 career WAR for them was Terry Forster drafted over 50 years ago.

7/8: Cards @ Sox: Mikolas v. Toussaint
A summer Saturday afternoon crowd of 26,000 on Luis Robert bobblehead day worries the crap out of them. Especially with how Cardinals fans travel.

7/8: Cards @ Sox: Mikolas v. Toussaint
Is TA just playing hurt, or is he done? He is about as awful as anyone in the sport.

And that's an apathetic fanbase White Sox winner!
Nice win vs. the NL White Sox.

7/7: Cards @ Sox
White Sox pitchers have fanned 14 or more in 8 games this year. They have lost every game.

Normally I would agree with you, but this has a different feel. I dropped out after last season. I know a few who gave it one more shot. During the rebuild and most of the time they were mired in mediocrity, they treated their season ticketholders like royalty. No more. Now they think they are doing you the favor by selling you tickets to watch their AAA product. I think 1.3 to 1.4 is not only possible but probable unless they make some really popular changes. No one has any trust in this front office. Even their boy Bob is taking his shots saying it was the shortest contention window of all time.

I read Everett Teaford, White Sox minor league pitching coordinator left to coach at Auburn. I'm not thinking he was the problem.

The Sox had one of the biggest attendance drops year to year from last year to this year. Next year will be worse. A lot of people were hanging on thinking it was all LaRussa's fault. They will go. JR will trim payroll even more.

Phil Jackson called it the Last Dance at Grant Park celebrating the Bulls 6th championship. People panicked but held out hope Phil was mistaken and they would give it another go until someone showed they could beat them. It wasn't to be. Phil was right, it was over. Who knew on the October night back in 2021 when Leury Garcia hit one over the CF wall to lead the White Sox to victory, avoiding a first round sweep, that it was the White Sox last dance. Please fire these dopes today.

AL Central Records since Apr 29
Hahn actually cherry picked the stat that the Sox were 2 games over .500 from a certain date, best in the division. The master of saying nothing is running out of things to say nothing about. Please fire him today. He is the worst GM in baseball, and it isn't much of a contest.

I don’t think I am going to be able to take 2 games in one day with this broadcast school graduate doing PBP.

This was before Kelly went on the DL, but Bob Nightengale said he would be shocked if all of Giolito, Lynn, Clevinger, Kelly, Graveman and Bummer are not traded.

Rick is still waiting for the team to wake up. He needs to wake up. It isn't happening. The sooner you start clearing tradeable pieces out, the better. They are worth more, and can't get hurt playing meaningless White Sox games. Remember when Hawk as the GM was a bad joke? .444 winning percentage. This team has a .429 winning percentage, and they still think they have a shot.
