  1. I enjoy it. Its beats reading about how Chris Getz is a baseball genius and only hires the best people.
  2. A few of these guys should be making lattes at Starbucks. They would probably screw that up as well.
  3. Last year it worked out, but counting on Rule 5 guys to build a winner usually doesn't work.
  4. I think if Ishbia gets a bigger voice, and he should, this won't be allowed to continue.
  5. I'm sure if he was my next door neighbor, I would really like him. Seems like a nice guy, loves dogs, must be bright. He went to Dartmouth. I agree with the poster above, his baseball knowledge isn't one of 30 jobs in country up to snuff. And i agree with the promoter first, announcer second analysis. Harry Caray was a promoter, but he gave his audience a little credit. Schriff either thinks the audience is really dumb, or perhaps he doesn't understand bad baseball when he sees it. I do think his South side stand up line was genius if used correctly. His first time using it was a spring training game in a year they set the MLB record for losses. If the Sox were good, we'd all be saying it. He was put in a bad place. Horrible team, replacing someone very popular...but he isn't the guy. I think they know that, but these guys cost money, so they probably are waiting for his contract to end.
  6. Always nice to win.
  7. 1-2 would have been fine, but 0-3 it is. The first 2 games, they were bad at every phase. Exploded for 7 runs the first 3 innings in game 3, but as happens so many times with so many teams, a ton of runs early often leads to not much later. No runs on 3 hits the last 6 innings. Too many strikeouts. Mune can fan. To me, he's kind of a young version of Jim Thome. Plays the infiled corners, but not very well. Ridicuolous power. Fans a ton, but looks like he will walk a ton too. His last AB though has me a little leery. He was blown away. Of course, that pitcher has blown away a lot of great hitters, but Mune was awfully late on strike 3.
  8. You can look at how he runs he Bulls and figure out what he would do with the Sox, with one exception. The Bulls, even when horrible, draw like the Cubs, and he refuses to reward them by ever getting in luxury tax territory. One reason the Sox never had sustained success is because JR refused to pay the price.
  9. Those teams sucked. But why does that make how the White Sox played in Milwaukee acceptable?
  10. They have their best 2 starters going this serires. 2 out of 3 needs to happen. A sweep would be divine.
  11. I saw one yesterday and it was a Frank Thomas. I lmao.
  12. A salary cap would not have helped the Sox at all under JR's reign of terror.
  13. I went to yesterday's game. Took the Amtrak to MKE. On the way home, a Sox fan sitting by us swore this is one of the worst Sox teams ever. Mune to me makes them more watchable as does Montgomery. Meidroth has a chance to be a fun guy to watch, and I really like Teel, and Hays. He agreed but his though is based on the pitching he deemed to be the worst he's seen in 50 years. At least there are some potential good ones in the wings.
  14. I've always had a thought about salary caps where the players you sign or draft and develop don't count against it. Only other teams free agents. So the owners get a little something. The players still can get paid if the say with their original team, or they even mess with that a bit and say a specific service time with a team waives it.
  15. When he was hired, JR was the only owner who would hire him as a GM. 2 years and 7 or 8 months later, it's still the case.
  16. Davis Martin is probably the best Sox starter. Why didint he pitch in the first series?
  17. I believe the word you used fot the bullpen was special. It's not.
  18. I wonder how many times a team has lead 4 to 0 after 4 batters and lost.
  19. At least with the day off tomorrow, these relievers should be rested enough to get lit up again.
  20. I wonder what the MLB record is for the amount of pitchers on one team with ERAs over 0.00 after one game.
  21. You normally don't get this in one day, but we have found out today, Ethan Katz was clearly the probllem.
  22. It's almost as if he's thinking, build me a park, then maybe I'll try.
  23. I wish JR would look at this and the past several years, a stretch were there was supposed to be multiple championships, and finally realize his way doesn't work anymore. Time to step aside.
