Trade thoughts
I don't care about any trades whatsoever. No acquisitions will help in the short tun, and they may not work out in the long tun. Why should I have any faith in this organization?

Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
If they go on a 54-game winning streak, they'll finish a dead even .500. Schriffen can do the countdown. The next game is one. A big one.

AJ could be a candidate to manage Sox
AJ did have a reputation, but he was a smart player. Ozzie isn't exactly charming.

7-28 Gamethread: Mariners at Sox (1:10pm)
Glad I didn't watch this game. Amazing, They are going to clinch a losing record before August starts. This is a complete and total joke.

Regardless, I don't think the Sox would be interested in AJ. The FO was angry about a Getz interview on Foul Territory. AJ got fired as Sox "ambassador."

Outspoken AJ Is the type of the guy the Sox wouldn't hire. That is one reason they should hire him.Do something different for a change.

Really. What can be said?

If the Sox really want to win by 2027
It is best to build around pitching, but a team can't an offense like the Sox have now and expect to win. There are many other things wrong with this franchise, too. I don't expect to see a winning team any time soon.

The streak has reached 21. Raise a glass.
I would hope they could do better than an Andrew Benintendi type. I never understood their fascination with him. Right now, they're not doing anything right. A new approach is needed but not on the horizon. Never thought it would get this bad.

7/25 - Sox/Rangers
Most likely they will clinch a losing season before August. I didn't watch this game, because there isn't anything to see. Regardless, nothing much else can be said that hasn't already been said. This season is so bad that it is amazing. Haven't been to the ballpark yet. Don't know if I will.

Cease has no hitter going into 8th vs. WSH
No who did the Sox get for Cease?

The streak has reached 21. Raise a glass.
Dipping into the free agent market won't solve everything, but the FO needs to make the team a little more competitive. The team is in a rebuild that isn't working. I don't see any positional players coming up from the minors. Sit on your hands again, and we will see another 100-loss season. Maybe two more.

Getz has said the rebuild will take some time. He didn't put in an exact figure, but he has said he will take a while. The hint here is don't expect big free agent signings. Regardless, we can't expect a contending team soon. I don't even expect the FO to admit something is wrong. In a normal corporate situation, JR would have been gone a long time ago.

This season was gone a long time ago, but something needs to be done. This has gone beyond absurd. The FO can't keep telling fans that the rebuild will take a long time. No position players coming up are showing anything. Grifol and Getz should be gone. Bring in a good baseball man to take over and turn the franchise around. Right now, the franchise has no credibility. 50 games under .500 is insane. My god, can't anyone talk to JR? This team is being turned into one big joke. Oh, Schriffen should go, too.

Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
The problem I have with this organization is that it gives the impression it doesn't care. They are going to have their second straight 100-loss year, something that has never happened in franchise history. What kind of history is that? Then they sign Nick Senzel and keep Pedro even though it is obvious he only makes a bad situation worse. Then Getz goes around saying the rebuild is going a long time. How long? 2030 when the new stadium opens? I have been a fan for decades, and I have never seen it this bad. There is really no reason for a fan to go out to the ballpark. There is nothing to see and a good future is somewhere off in the darkness.

MLB Reminds White Sox That Games Televised...
When I saw it was The Onion, I assumed it was a joke. What isn't a joke is that the Sox can't go on this way. The FO has to do something to improve the team in the off season. I don't expect them to be turned into a contender, but something has to be done. Saying the rebuild is going to take a long time doesn't cut it. You can't have a third straight 100-loss season.

7/21- Sox at Royals, 1:10
He may bring something of value, but he is not bringing that much. Right now he is an excellent fielder but average hitter. He looks nothing like he did when he first broke in. Then he had superstar written all over him. Offensively, he doesn't look imposing. Moncada, Robert, Jimenez. At one time, they looked like they could lead the Sox into the post season for years to come. Now, we wonder why they got injured so much and just what happened to all that potential.

7/21- Sox at Royals, 1:10
Robert looks awful this year. The Sox will not get a "haul" for him. He simply has little trade value right now. Outside any of the starting pitchers, no one has any trade value. This rebuild is failing. Go ahead trade for "prospects." And see another 100-loss season next year.

7/21- Sox at Royals, 1:10
It's pretty bad when the Royals get this confident. What a season.

7/20 Sox @ Royals 6:10PM
What they should do is hire an interim manager. Then Getz would be free to conduct a real search for a replacement. But this should be Getz's decision not LaRussa's. For a change they should do something to earn credibility with the fans. Until then, there is little reason to have hope.
-
7/20 Sox @ Royals 6:10PM
Because they didn't learn from Robert. They are just plain dumb. But don't worry,the rebuild will bring results when the new stadium opens.
-
7/20 Sox @ Royals 6:10PM
Schriffen keeps talking about how many close games the White Sox have been in, but in this series have been outscored 13-2. Maybe the Sox can sign more players other teams don't want.

White Sox broadcast rated dead last
We shouldn't have to make that choice. A major league team should be able to hire a good play-by-play man. As for me, it isn't hate. I just don't want anyone insulting my intelligence.
