Stone said Sheets is doing a good job in right. Much better than last year.

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.

What is embarrassing is admitting to people that I am a Sox fan. But I am a legend. Just ask Steve. Just ask Ozzie.

Things are really bad when the only speculation is how awful the team will be. This is not a MLB roster.

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.

You can't be serious. Oh no, Stone can't be serious. Why is he a legend? Right now, the legend is denigrating himself.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Getz will say the politically correct things because he has no other choice. But he will find out, if he hasn't already, that no one is buying any of it. Money needed to be spent, but it wasn't because JR cares only about a new stadium. This is outright embarrassing. For the first time in franchise history, the White Sox will lose 100 or more games in two straight seasons. How long can the FO stay in denial?

And just think. That team was in first in a ten-team division for a great deal of the year, and they almost went to the World Series. They found ways to win, but the lack of offense finally caught up with them. This team has no idea how to win.

That was the most boring game I have ever seen. Offense is the worst I've ever seen. Sosa strikes out on a pitch that hits in front of the plate. Even the late 60's teams, as bad as they were, were better than this.

In 1968. the Sox didn't score more than 4 in the first 10 games. Basically, they scored 1 or none. They lost 95 that season and the franchise nearly fell apart.

I'm not usually for firing the manager, but I think this should happen now. The season is already lost, but something has to be done. If the FO doesn't want an absolute total fiasco, they should get rid of Pedro and bring in a real baseball man. I have been a fan for a long, long time, and I have not seen anything so pathetic. If JR doesn't do something now, he will only demonstrate that he doesn't care one bit. Screw that stadium. Really, screw that stadium. This is so bad, words can't describe it. The 1970 team that lost 106 was better. At least they cared.

That was a bad game. 13 runners and only three runs? Moncada loafing on the basepaths. This should have been a win, and the fact that it wasn't shows how bad this team is. KC isn't as bad as in recent years, but to be swept by them even in Kansas City is lame. Trade Moncada now if you can. He's hitting well, maybe someone will be dumb enough to take him.

It's a possibility that Getz may turn into a decent GM, but this organization is at a new low. And it has the gall to ask for a publicly funded stadium.

I'm not a Getz-hater, but there is no excuse for fielding a team like this. Of course, JR is not interested in anything else but a new stadium, so that didn't help any. Regardless, this is going to be a 100-loss team and nothing can be done about it now. Clevinger? A desperation move that doesn't address a non-existent offense. The TV team is doing all it can to sell the great food at the park. Pathetic.

I can keep an open mind about Getz, but that does not mean I am optimistic. I have been a fan for a long time, and I have never seen it this bad. JR sees the new stadium as his legacy. Even you are a fan who wants the new stadium, it is still a good 5-6 years away. So much has to happen to turn things around, but the team has a tone-deaf owner. More losing is on the way.

Usually during a losing streak, you can assume a team will come out of it somehow. But I don't see this offense doing much of anything this year. Besides Robert, and maybe Vaughn on a good day, there is nothing in this lineup. We will see many more boring games like this one. And, of course, many losing ones.

Eloy has never been a clutch hitter. He'll hit a few homers, but his RBI total won't amount to much. 5 left on in two innings.

The White Sox pitching was very good today so the defense didn't have to work that hard. I didn't see DeJong do anything spectacular. The spin was all over the place today. Losing a 1-0 game isn't the end of the world, but there wasn't anything all that great out there. We will have to get used to the anemic offense.
