Lip Man 1

Very true and on point.

He better hope he stays in good health, it may be a long time before this franchise is even mediocre.

Win and treat the fan base with respect and not act like they are dumb idiots.

‘‘We haven’t determined the level of free agency that we’ll be working in, I can assure you that it won’t be the top of the market. We’re clearly in a rebuild, when you’ve got this many losses, one thing it does provide is clarity and direction on where you do need to go as an organization.’’ --Chris Getz to DVS of the Sun-Times. To me what's interesting in this quote is Getz is finally saying the word 'rebuild' that both he and JR refused to say earlier.

The Sox trailed going into the bottom of the 10th inning 7-6, they won the game on Benintendi's two-run home run in the last of the 10th. That's a comeback win isn't it?

It'll happen tomorrow night, a record that will stand for the ages. That's the White Sox way! 😆

Second comeback...on April 27 they scored two runs in the last of the 10th inning to win 8-7 over Tampa Bay.

NBC Sports Chicago is reporting the same thing Sizemore is still in the mix according to Getz saying "he deserves consideration..." Here we go fans.

Paul Sullivan got this comment from the Sox on the 'unusual' social media posts: “As we planned for this unfortunate milestone, we were looking to come up with creative ways to acknowledge the reality of the situation, engage with our fans and with a wink, maybe disarm the negativity just a little bit."

I'll admit it could come back to haunt the Sox, word will get around but personally after what that stiff has put the fan base through for the last several years. I hope he rots on the bench the final week and doesn't sniff an at-bat.

That's because MLB considers the CHICAGO White Sox a major market team that gets no revenue sharing money. Unfortunately JR considers his franchise a small market club and feels players make far to much money as it is. The draft rules were changed in an effort to stop tanking...to bad that doesn't move the needle for JR one single inch.

Stone has it in his contract that he can miss two weeks during the season if I remember right and he can pick and choose the games he wants to miss.

Maz Stassi says "hello...remember me." That would be SO White Sox.

Until the Sox get new ownership they'll do neither of your options correctly.

They have had one this year in April at home vs. Tampa when they scored two in the 10th to win 8-7 if I remember correctly.

For the 27th time the Sox took a lead into the 7th inning or later and lost. 27 times. Mind blowing.

You are probably right but given the shitshow the last week nationally and locally and given JR's age anything could happen between now and next season.

I think they can tie the record at 120 losses in San Diego if they lose Sunday. They can break it Tuesday at home vs. the Angels.

😆 It wasn't Chris. Never met the guy.

This was posted a few years ago for what it's worth under what Peavy just said and no I didn't post this: "No good place to put this so I'll drop it in here. I have very limited 'inside' connections these days. I used to - back when I was in sports broadcasting - but that was 20+ years ago. Anyway, last week I spoke to a friend who is in a position to know quite a bit about the inner workings of the Sox. Not just whispers but actually knowledge. He told me, "don't believe anyone that tells you that Herm Schneider is a good trainer." He then went into some detail as to why this isn't true and how the Sox are basically playing checkers while teams like the Astros are playing chess. He meant in terms of conditioning, training, game preparation, etc. The Astros even have customized sleep plans for their players to make sure they are at their peak during games. Meanwhile, the Sox are just now coming out of the dark ages and guys like Schneider are almost untouchable because of their relationship with Reinsdorf. I only bring it up because it underscores one thing that will come as a surprise to no one - Jerry Reinsdorf is fiercely loyal to his employees, sometimes to the detriment of the team. It makes me somewhat nervous that Renteria will get a longer leash than he would get anywhere else. I'm okay with him finishing out this season, but I don't think they can afford to keep him next year. I don't think waiting to hire a manager until the Sox are ready to compete ('20?) is a good idea. Ideally, that person is already on board and getting to know the locker room and putting his brand on the team. One other thing - he thinks we should be thankful that Chris Getz is running the minor leagues. Apparently, he's more of a new school guy and is trying to modernize the Sox approach in terms of player development, prep, coaching, etc. Anyway, thought I'd share. I gave Lip a hard time about the injury thing but he may have been on point."
