Schriffen says he was aiming at “Sportscasters”
My experience with Brooks has been the same. It's been a long while, but the couple times I interacted with him, he was great. Friendly, funny, and generous with his time. Hawk said something first, then the issues with Jason...I hope there is nothing to it,, but there certaintly appears there is.

Gamethread 8/7: We're #1 at #2
Pedro said he liked the Touki match up. Ozzie questioned how could you like the Touki match up when he’s been in the minor leagues all year. There wasn’t any info. Just some more Pedro BS.

Fire Pedro Grifol
Can someone explain to me why Gavin Sheets is getting playing time before Fletcher?

Fire Chris Getz
I was the fool that thought at least Getz wasn't Hahn. He makes Hahn look like Scheurholz.

Fire Chris Getz
I'm kind of like that, but then not. It's weird, but i think where I am is if they aren't going to start having people walk the plank, I hope they get every dubious record out there. If they start letting this morons go, I hope they avoid them.

Fire Chris Getz
The fact that is has reached this point, and every decision maker still has their job shows there is a lack of competiteness with the organization. How they can't be embarrassed beyond belief is stunning.

The streak has reached 21. Raise a glass.
I do think the streak will end tonight. Cannon's been pretty good, and Oakland has a bum on the bump.

Fire Chris Getz
He's also done multiple negative things. At some point 27-88, an unfathomable record, needs some accountability. The whole place should be cleaned out. It won't obviously, but the inac tion so far is a middle finger to the fanbase. Hopefully, the fanbase gives it right back.Pedro is a premier brown nose. What he was saying about JR in the papers was beyond laughable.

There is not another organization in the world would keep this clown and Pedro on. It really is amazing.

I just hope Getz put together a team he likes.

Just have to flush it.

Fire Pedro Grifol
The team is likely to be terrible until there is new ownership which likely will mean whoever is getting this job will be replaced before there is any chance of the team being good.

I think the WS reinforced to JR, his way was the only way. You would think as bad as the Sox have been, and as bad as the Bulls have been since their run, he would realize that it doesn't work anymore, and probably never really did. He had Jordan, and couldn't wait until he left so he and Crumbs could get more credit. It blew up in their faces. With baseball, he's never had sustained success, even though he has had a huge division advantage. I used to think he was a pretty bright guy, now, I'm not so sure.

Biggest Single Season Turnarounds
IDK, if you ask John Schriffen, all it takes is robot umpires and the Sox W-L record is reversed.

I think his box was fucked up. It was below his belt.

Any kind of effort that's a triple.

It's like a bad car wreck. You can't look away.

I dont think Arby's would let Pedro manage one of its stores.

8/4 - Streak Ends Now
Walking him set up a DP let the infield go back....easy managerial call but no.

Why. Are they not walking him

In other words Steve, an MLB LF should have had it.

8/4 - Streak Ends Now
Anyone notice NBCSC doesn't go to Schriffen until 2 minutes before first pitch? Tells me they either seem to know he's in over his head, or they know he is very unpopular with the 150 people tuning in.

How the F are we ever going to build an offense?
JR has mentioned David Eckstein many times. Basically calling him no good but he beat you. Offensively, Eckstein had a .701 OPS, which was below average. Currently, only Robert has an OPS that high this season on the roster.

Fire Chris Getz
Getz was an obvious bad call to just about everyone but the White Sox. Can’t waste a year getting to wasting a decade.
