You spend most of your time grousing. I love the White Sox. Had season tickets over 30 years. 30 years, I've given them plenty of passes, but not anymore. Go back to the 2024 season prediction thread. We both predicted the exact same number. 41 wins bothered me, especially given the reasons we were told there was no search for a real GM. You couldn't care less. Not everyone is the same. Sorry you think my way is stupid. I think belng happy the team is the laughingstock of the league is stupid.

PT Barnum would have cleaned you out.

No. They were mad he gave up. And the poster who brought up the White Flag trade was you in an effort to show fans will criticize JR no matter what. But it wasn't for what you tried to spin it.

Up to that point, Robin Ventura had been back for 7 games. Again, you lied and said people were mad at JR for telling the truth. That just isn’t true.

People weren't mad at JR for telling his truth, they were mad he gave up. Non Sox fans also thought it was a disgrace. Bur the resident organization water carrier spins it another way. Which, ironically enough is a lie. BTW, Cleveland won 86 games that year. Not exactly a juggernaut, and Ventura had pretty much just returned.

What I can't get over is JR saying theSox can't wastea year, and a lie he also stated when hiring Getz was 2024 would be better than 2023. Toure OK being lied to, that's fine. You want to believe the reason the Sox won the division in 2000 was the White Flag trade. That's great. You have bought a team 3 games out at the end of July with Thomas, Belle, and Ventura the heart of the batting order, had no chance. That's great. Let's see if youre consistently the future. I'm guessing not.

2024 was the first time besides 2020 Covid that I didn’t go to at least one Sox home game since I was 3 years old. I’ve had years I was over 70 games. I did go to one game in Milwaukee, which was an L.

I spend the thousands I used to spend enjoying myself watching White Sox games, enjoying myself doing other things. I call this an entertainment budget. I would rather be entertained. If you still get a kick out of watching a team not trying to win, good for you. You will see me when they not only start trying to win, but actually succeeding at it. I’ve lived through the lies, the losing, and all the failures. Now it’s show me don’t tell me time.

They will probably sell out that night. Statue pays for itself.

just for accuracy, he was traded, not claimed on waivers.

And Getz was the one who waived him. His trophy development.

Did a helluva job with Collins.

Not about actual baseball? Wow! The only one ignoring the baseball is you. You actually named Seby Zavala as a Chris Getz accomplishment. If people didn't know any better, they would think you are trolling.

Supposedly CSN will be televising some of Soxfest tonight.

My family wants nothing to do with the new Soxfest.

What happened with Crochet was amazing. Do you think, however, it could catch up to him in 2025? I for one, do not trust he being healthy.

The game where Ichiro got all the hits off Buehrle was in 2005, and took 99 minutes to play.

With Montgomery,, either he can't handle gas, and was an overhyped prospect, or his injury caused some problems. He had to face gas before 2024 though. I will give him the benefit of the doubt, although, I don't think he's a SS.

When Frank Thomas was struggling after Hrniak was let go, he would go see him.

Boy has the Sox "networking" worked so well over the years.

It’s happening.Caulfield will soon own a Chinese knockoff Dodgers hat. Can’t beat em, join em.

Funny thing is Ricketts took advantage of that and sold a small part of the team to fund all the renovations.

Now many summer home night games will officially be over before dark, than just over.

Plenty of blame to go around, just not with the guy who was supposedly in charge. Keep telling your Chris Getz bobblehead that.

He’s a JR with the Bulls owner. Will spend money to a point. Luxury Tax is a big line in the sand. He may go a few thousand over, but that’s about it. NBA is different. The teams that don’t go over split the tax money. If they did that in MLB, Ricketts would never be near the line.
