The Sox have looked better this week, but this week they are 3-2. So, I won't get too excited. But it was good for a change to see the opposition make bonehead plays like Tampa. And the team has to start somewhere and the back-to-wins over Tampa and Cleveland is a good place to get going. And I have never been on the fire Chris Getz bandwagon. Actually, this team is watchable right now. I just don't know if they will stay that way.

I never thought I would ever think this, but Gavin Sheets should be the everyday right fielder.

The Sox still stink. And that comes from a hater. Just ask the guy in the booth.

This is how I took it when I heard that the word "haters" was being used: White Sox grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory. Years and years ago on the night the Sox clinched their first division, JR lashed out at Harry Carey and Jimmy Piersall by calling them "scum." It was dumb to be bitter during a happy moment. Even Hawk was surprised. The Sox finally have a good moment with a walk off home run. Then this stuff starts. Garfien used the word, too and I got the impression JR's bidding was being done. Many fans like myself are not haters. We just can't stand to see what is happening to team. In a relative sense, the Sox don't have a lot of fans. They can't afford to alienate the few they have left. Schriffen is a new guy who doesn't know about team history. He should take some time to learn a few things. Of course, it would help if the team was playing better. Then Schrifffen and Stone wouldn't have talk about ice cream and deli sandwiches.

Good for Kopech. Bad for the cutter.

There is a hate-love relationship between a team and its fans. They will snipe at each other from time to time. No big deal. I think there are two cases when a team or someone representing a team shouldn't rip fans. The first is when the team stinks. Second, is when someone ends up ripping the most loyal fans. Fan alienation has been a large problem for the Sox for a long time. Stuff like this doesn't help. And it is a big indication of how bad things are with the Sox.

I have been a fan over 60 years. That doesn't change the fact that the team is bad, and that its owner only cares about a new stadium that someone else will pay for.

Schriffen is a complete idiot and a symbol of what is wrong with how this team is run. I know he has to be a "homer," but he is insulting our intelligence with his crap. Same with Stone who complains that the Sox aren't "getting any breaks." The broadcast booth is a joke. Garfien and Ozzie can go, too. And take the listless Gordon Beckham with them.

Misplaying a routine ground ball that allows two runs to score is not a little thing.

This guy is not a good play-by-play man. You're right. He is nothing but a JR spokesman. Him and Stone in the same booth is hard to take. I don't care about the Campfire Shake or whatever it is called. Jason had his issues, but he was way better than this. But then again, I'm just a hater.

For me, the solution is simple. Mute the game broadcast. Stop watching Garfien and Ozzeroo. Don't invest too much emotion into a team that hates its fans.

Fire everyone. Just fire everyone. Start with Stoney and keep going.

I agree. MLB needs to step in. This franchise is a joke. How can anyone even regard this as a major league franchise? Second season in a row the season is over by April. Only this team is the worst in White Sox history. How's that new stadium coming along?

I am willing to let the team move. I'll help them pack.

There should be no new stadium. Period.

It really doesn't make any difference. The season was lost before it began. 2025 as well.

One thing I don't want to hear is they are not getting the breaks. Besides, good teams tend to get breaks, and then take advantage of them. And Stoney: Stop complaining about the umps. The Sox are not losing because of bad umpiring. They've been outscored 31-7 during the last four games. Sounds like the Bears getting trounced.

This is not a major league level team in any way. The owner is playing his fiddle while Rome burns.

It is good they didn't get shut out. Something has to start somewhere even in a 100-loss season.

"It's going to take time" is a code phrase for the team not to invest in itself. Look forward to another dull off-season.

Tim was into the macho thing. He should have been into developing as a major league player. He had the talent, no doubt. Make the routine plays and the great plays will take care of themselves. What a waste.

Since 2008, things have been brutal. It used to be that JR's teams would go bad but rebound after a short time. Not during the last 16 years. The team will be looking at the 20th anniversary of the world championship with little hope. I don't see how JR expects to have leverage regarding a new stadium with a franchise in this bad a shape. Fans aren't going to buy tickets to eat ice cream. But don't worry. Ozzie is a legend. Stone is a legend. But if you're have diabetes, eating that ice cream will put you into a diabetic coma.

Maybe Tim can throw a few more bats. That always helped.

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.

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.
