September 6 game thread
110 losses and they still haven't figured out they should play the kids. Make it make sense.

Marco Paddy fired
Correct. He was so bad that the M's resorted to putting Garver back at C despite having barely caught over the past few years.

The same Seby Zavala that couldn't stick on a Mariner's roster in desperate need of a backup C? Proud feather in Getz's cap I say...

Sox looking at building in South Loop
Gasp. It's almost as if all of the cars are the problem. Imagine that. I deal with plenty of Sox traffic as a Bridgeport resident, I have zero sympathy for people who choose to drive.

Sox looking at building in South Loop
This https://mktg.mlbstatic.com/cubs/documents/maps/Wrigley_Field_Parking_Map.pdf The Cubs have parking, it's just not blocks and blocks of empty wasteland surrounding the ballpark. The White Sox parking model is so outdated, and there are ways to accommodate drivers without razing whole neighborhoods. There is ample parking just across the river from the 78, it's not like satellite parking is an impossibility in this town...

Will the Sox prioritize Moncada over youngsters?
There's a month left in the season. I'll be surprised if Moncada spends a day on the active roster.

Dude will pull a muscle signing his one year incentive laden deal...

First Move
So many wasted AB's on the Tommy Pham's, Nicky Lopez's, and Gavin Sheet's with nothing to show for it...

White Sox let four scouts go
Hire good scouts and let them do their jobs. Please.

This part.

The more house cleaning the better. This is only half the battle though.

Sox looking at building in South Loop
The Cubs seem to do just fine without massive parking lots by Wrigley. It seems as if there are feasible alternatives to driving to a baseball game, even in our own city...

If Jerry simply set the budget, got out of the way, and let the FO make baseball decisions w/o meddling this would be true.

Marco Paddy fired
His talent evaluation doesn't much inspire faith in his ability to hire quality personnel...

Marco Paddy fired
Its too damn bad that he himself and the chairman are both top of list

First Move
Unless he magically has control over the purse strings, no amount of pixie dust from Terry Francona is turning this franchise around.

Francona is smart enough not to pull a TLR

Sox flashback quote 8/31/23...
I imagine for a lot of Sox shareholders it’s just another share in their portfolio, as so long as it keeps appreciating they don’t care about the inner workings. Pure speculation on my part though.

Sox flashback quote 8/31/23...
I believe this was part of the original agreement amongst owners when JR was named chairman. He basically has full control despite not being the majority owner at the time. Their ROI after 40+ has to be ridiculously good at this point, so why rock the boat?

Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
Yeah, that ain’t happening.

Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
39-126 under Getz, but this team nor the one he inherited are in any way his responsibility…🤦🏽♀️

Thorpe season ending bone spur surgery in elbow
Certainly not an encouraging chain of events for the “prize” of the Cease trade…

8/30/24 Gamethread Miracle Mets at Miracle Max' White Sox 7:10 Central
Waiting for the Brute Squad to finish them off and put us out of our collective misery... just to find that wheelbarrow...

Nicky Lopez placed on waivers
With the way they hyped him up in all of the early season promos, he definitely wasn't riding the pine.

Nick Nastrini coming back, Foster out
Their starter could pitch a perfecto and they would still find a way.
