  1. No, JR owed it to the fans not to waste a year. We get to see records. Stuff we never saw before or could have even imagined.
  2. That Ramos thing could have been fixed by keeping Senzel on the roster 1 more day. And the next infielder up is Moncada.
  3. It’s bizarre Colas or Ramos doesn’t get the call. It almost seems as Getz is calling up the guys he traded for so he can show JR, see, what you had here sucked, even though I was in charge of developing them. The guys most deserving are the guys I traded for.
  4. CC Sabathia pitched with a bone spur for 4 years and dominated.
  5. H pe was available during the 2005 playoffs and in 2021. Other than that, he only has time to waste thinking the state will build him a new park. He finally spoke last year and mentioned the fans deserve this situation get fixed quickly. Well, the fans deserve an explanation of what’s going on now. There’s bad, and there’s this. 4-40?
  6. I get the whole as long as JR is in charge nothing will change bit, and for the most part it’s true. But someone else may have focused on someone other than Vargas. Someone else may have selected McCarthy instead of Fletcher. Right there you’re a little better off. The question I would have for you is if JR wasn’t the owner and the Sox were 31-107, what do you think Getzs fate would be? If it’s a goner, wouldn’t that make it the correct move? The last 12 seasons, the Sox have the second worst record in baseball. There needs to be huge change to get the stink out of the organization,
  7. But it would waste a year. Look at what’s been accomplished this year.
  8. A few more facts. 4-40 last 44 games. Worst 44 game stretch since 1916 when the As went 3-41. Sox 3 10 plus losing streaks. Had 13 total before this season. And since 2013, only the Marlins have a worse cumulative record.
  9. JR has full and total control and there is nothing his investors can do about . Once he dies, his executor has full control. His investors are at his mercy, but they have done quite well even with his missteps.
  10. Schriffen just said the offense has had trouble scoring runs over this recent stretch. What stretch is that John.? 2022-2024?
  11. Apparently Soxfest is on for the last weekend in January. But it’s “reimagined”. I guess that means it will all be a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the championship. Also, the 125th anniversary of the franchise with an emphasis on the good things that happened during the JR era. They will probably throw a lot of new stadium at the attendees, I would doubt the Sox front office will face the music.
  12. The lasting memory I have of Ron LeFlore as a White Sox was him playing CF. Someone hit a routine flyball that bounced off his head, knocked him down ala TA with Jose Ramirez, and the batter running around the bases for a 4 base error.
  13. This is, after all, the organization that thinks Miguel Vargas will be a middle of the line up hitter.
  14. 7 total wins in July and August.
  15. Nice quote. One year later on 8!31/24 his team clinched worst record in the AL with a month left in the season. Nice hire.
  16. Incomplete. Some are really hopeful, but we will see. Ultimately what counts is what they do, not what they are ranked. Hopefully Schultz is a stud. Bush and Nastrini have major flaws. Cannon might be OK but might not. Who knows what is going to come of Thorpe elbow Martin looks good,, but how much is that have to do with Janish? Wasn’t that Banniister sugessting a grip, and it worked right away?
  17. Considering how Related and JR have states the studies all show the states 10 figure investment is a total win for the state, how they couldn’t find investors to build this privately with minimal cost to the state. They will be counting their money forever.
  18. They don’t even want to admit this is a down to the studs rebuild. They are not dealing with reality, and MLB needs to step in, This is a charter franchise in the 3rd largest market in the country. There are lemonade stands run better than this. JR needs to sell or let someone competent make the decisions. Even when he finally does something right like firing KW and RH, he wrongs that right with Chris Getz, who will be happy to give you a 7 year rebuild. That’s 7 years of GM paychecks he wouldn’t get anywhere else, and I’m sure he knows it. JR has no schtick. He uses the same one he always has, he’s at the mercy of his dumbest competitor. Think what the rest of the AL Central must think of him. The highest payroll in the division and a record no one in MLB history has ever been as bad or worse through 136 games. And in the midst of this unprecedented run of awfulness, he sends Roger Bossard out to the 78 to build a makeshift infield to remind people what the can have if they just build it for him. f*** HIM.
  19. No just another that wanted to talk about the positives of a 31-105 team. The players love Grady. Brady loves the players. How nice. Talking to Clueless Schriffen, who again told us last night how Nicky has been killing it in the leadoff spot, the Sox appear to be loaded.
  20. It is, but most would be blocked out once they built the stadium. Unless you were way up in the upper deck.
  21. He injured his hand on a swing. Probably out for the weekend.
  22. Very sad. He seems like a real nice guy. He was at Soxfest many years ago, and Roland Hemond was around. He called him Mr. Hemond. He was so grateful for what Roland had done for his career.
  23. The sad thing is it has to be a huge problem for so long before changes are made. So what if hes been here less than a year, if he's incompetent he's incompetent. The faster these people are replaced, the shorter the time you can at least be average again. You know, the Bulls strategy.
