  1. I hit 2032 and beyond because I really don't know when the Sox will return to the post season. And I don' think anyone connected to the team does either. Rebuilding can bring results. It can also produce nothing. I have been a fan for a long, long time. I've heard the rebuilding stuff for that long time. Don't listen anymore.
  2. As far as I am concerned, no one connected with the White Sox has any credibility. It starts with the owner working down to the GM and the Field Manager. It extends to the spokesmen on the post and pre-game show and ends in the TV broadcast booth. I don't believe in one thing that is said. And I couldn't care less about what is in the farm system. Next year is the 20th anniversary of the World Series team. A long time. It will get longer. Much longer. But can't wait for that new stadium!
  3. Stone is getting worse with age. The guy has no pride. He really needs to start playing shuffle board. Analyze that.
  4. Didn't he lose interest a long time ago?
  5. Grifol will be gone soon enough. Just no Ozzie Guillen. Ever.
  6. Pham is a good ballplayer, but being a hothead doesn't make you a leader. Didn't he strike out three times Sunday?
  7. If not, just plain old age. I don't think he has a clue anymore. But he's running the show.
  8. Schriffen is horrible. He thinks if he shouts into the microphone, it helps somehow. The Sox are 30 games under .500. Fake enthusiasm isn't the answer. But he is what JR wants. A kissass.
  9. The bottom line on that 8th was that the Sox should have taken control of the game with a rally. Instead, they ran themselves out of the inning and came up empty. Pham looks tough - but the Sox lose - again. The Brewers looked like whatever and they won - again.
  10. He's trying way too hard to paint a bright picture. A losing streak is a losing streak is a losing streak. He won't get anywhere insulting our intelligence. Same for Stone Poney who really ought to know better.
  11. I have no problem with firing Grifol, but he only symbolizes the problems the team is having. This is not a Major League franchise.
  12. The problem is there is no power structure within the White Sox that can wrest control from Reinsdorf. No decent owner would stand by and watch this nonsense. But all JR cares about is a new stadium that probably won't happen. Security people can confiscate all the banners they want, but that won't change the way fans feel. There is no reason for any fan to go to that ballpark. This franchise has disintegrated. John Allyn did better. Bill Veeck did better. Major League Baseball should not stand by and do nothing. This situation is nothing but a joke.
  13. The starter goes down in the second inning, and a bad bullpen covers the rest of the game. This is not a major league lineup. I have never seen a White Sox team this bad. The whole organization is inept from top to bottom, and no one seems to care. Just ask Stone. He' s a legend.
  14. Some fans are cheering for the Sox to lose, because it will embarrass the organization. Truth is, nothing embarrasses this organization. Just ask Stone Poney.
  15. Time to move on. Get someone who no past connection to the organization.
  16. In the past two days, the White Sox starters threw 12 1/3 innings and gave up two runs. Yet the Sox lost both games.
  17. Maybe he is watching highlights of his 1980 season.
  18. Actually, it is a point for Scrhiffen if he has issues with the Chicago media. In the long run, it is more important for him to connect with the fans, not the media. I think he is trying but sometimes tries too hard. But he hasn't been in the job for very long.
  19. This team isn't worth watching or getting pissed about. Can we stop that "stand up south side?"
  20. This past week, the Sox played six games and scores 12 runs. That says it all.
  21. The truth is, that unless the Sox get a dominating start from someone like Crochet, they don't have much of a chance. The offense just isn't there. Sick of seeing Eloy and his pop-ups. Watching a team struggle to get three runs is no fun.
  22. Used to be a big Vaughn fan, but he just isn't showing anything. Eloy cannot be here next year. He shouldn't hit high in the order, that's for sure. A DH who can't hit? The disappointment just continues.
  23. 7-6 would have looked like a lot better if they had started the season that way. Instead, they dug themselves into a big hole. Actually, I am optimistic. It was hard to believe they were that bad. But they have to do it for more than 13 games. If they can be respectable for the rest of the season, that will be fine with me. Just no 100 losses.
