  1. There have been some low scoring games that could have been won with a decent offense. There have been a few blowouts, but the hitting is what is losing games.
  2. Should have won both games. Pitching has not been that bad. If offense picks it up, they might win two in a row. Keep Sheets in the lineup.
  3. Stone said Sheets is doing a good job in right. Much better than last year.
  4. The White Sox do have some talent in places, and the situation isn't as bad as it looks, bad as it is. The question remains as to whether this front office can put a team together to win on a consistent basis. Not all prospects are going to work out, and so money has to be spent in the free agent market. But, in the past, that money hasn't been spent or it has been spent foolishly. This team has done very little since winning the division in 2008. I'd like to be optimistic, but past performance doesn't allow for that. It is time to see real results, and it is hard to know when that will happen.
  5. What is embarrassing is admitting to people that I am a Sox fan. But I am a legend. Just ask Steve. Just ask Ozzie.
  6. Things are really bad when the only speculation is how awful the team will be. This is not a MLB roster.
  7. Don't know what has happened to him. Last year got 80 RBIs. Not a MVP stat, but it showed he could hit some. Looks clueless right now.
  8. You can't be serious. Oh no, Stone can't be serious. Why is he a legend? Right now, the legend is denigrating himself.
  9. Actually, Chris, adding players is relatively easy. In the offseason, you aggressively go after superior talent by offering contracts that are at least competitive in the marketplace. Also, if you ever put a talented team together, you can trade a good player to fill another need. See, Chris, it isn't that hard.
  10. What puzzled me is that the team acted as if Benintendi was the team savior when they signed him. At best, he was a so-so player, and now look at him. I wonder what these people are ever thinking.
  11. I agree. JR has run this team into the ground. The spirit of the fans is already broken. He stopped caring a long time ago if he ever cared in the first place. I don't relish losses; I just don't expect wins. I've been a fan for so long, and I have never the franchise in this bad a shape. JR should be the one embarrassed, but he isn't.
  12. At this point in the season, it is hard to add players. But other things could have been done in the past off-season, and things can be done in the next off season. This is not a major league ballclub. Just hoping minor leaguers will eventually develop will only result in another failed rebuild. Money has to be spent. If not, fans shouldn't be expected to go out to see a minor league team. Do they want three straight 100-loss seasons?
  13. This statement is trying to make it sound like this is an isolated event and just one of those games. But the no-offense Sox do this all the time. Even when Robert, Moncada and Eloy were in the lineup, they weren't scoring. There will be plenty more games like this. This team is historically bad.
  14. And they usually can't get past the fifth inning because they have already thrown 100 pitches. Can't even pitch long enough to earn a win.
  15. The new stadium idea is a travesty. This franchise has no credibility. But don't worry, everybody is a legend. Stone is a legend. Ozzie is a legend. Brings a tear to the eye.
