This is where Robert needs to be an actual star and get his team back into the ballgame.

You were saying?

There is no bottom

Crochet looks like he wants to murder someone

Stone: "(Crochet) pitches very well in this ballpark" Happ proceeds to bomb one less than a second later.

Hasn't Nicky been decent lately?

How did this organization turn into what it is today. It was a really good one in the 90's and 2000's. How did this happen.

This team needs more and more negative national attention. I wish they would have beat the losing streak, who knows maybe it would have made headlines even on non-sports news like cnn or fox. The more negative national attention they get, the more pressure there will be on Jerry to sell. But...I worry about who he would sell to.

Would y'all rather have what we're getting this season, or still be mired in mediocrity, like hovering around .500 or ten games under perpetually?

I've been saying this every year since like 2009. When you think it can't get worse....it can. And this "organization" makes sure it comes to fruition.

Thome but he'd never do it. I think he would make an excellent manager.

Not to sound like a dick, but Is there also a way to reduce the amount of ads? I get that they are necessary but it seems lately there have been way more, and the way they are displaying its like they are almost just repeating comments on a thread.

Will be an obscelete skill when they bring in the robo umps.

YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE OUR WORST CONTRACT EVER WHICH ALSO HAPPENS TO BE OUR LARGEST CONTRACT EVER GIVEN, YOU'RE GOING TO PAY IT, AND YOU'RE GOING TO FUCKING LIKE IT, AND GIVE US YOUR BEST PROSPECTS.

This thread is gold

The Savannah Bananas are calling Getz about Crochet after seeing that Fedde trade.

Ahahahahahaaaaahhaaa. This organization is doomed.

I'm amazed that the Sox even get that many people. Imagine if they were actually a good team, they'd probably average almost 30k.

If Philadelphia, San Diego, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, KC, Cleveland and Baltimore all can be winning baseball teams, there is no reason the Chicago White Sox shouldnt be able to figure it out. At the very least on a cyclical basis. But alas, here we are.

He didn't bad mouth the team, he said what everyone was thinking and JR (or whoever, but it was probably him) didn't like it so they stripped him of his ambassador status. I wonder if enough time has passed and now that the truth about this team has been revealed, that JR now agrees with him. Who knows lol. But at least AJ knows what it takes to run a winning team, as evidenced in his podcasts. He'll probably talk about this on foul territory. He'll be much better than what we've had recently. We need a coach that lights a fire under these guys' asses. Also, I don't really think managerial experience matters as much as playing experience, and yes being a catcher is a huge plus. Look at Steven Vogt for Cleveland. First time manager, ex-catcher managing a Cleveland team that was not expected to do what it's been doing. What do the Sox have to lose? Yeah AJ was a former Sox player so he fits that mold, but he has shown that he also thinks very similarly to a lot of respectable people in the baseball world in how to run an effective team.

I really, really want a reporter to have the balls to recite this exact tweet to Getz and/or Pedro.

There has to be a statement from the Sox saying something along the lines of "this year has been absolutely unacceptable and a complete embarrassment to our team, our fans, our city, and to major league baseball." Like, how long can this go on without someone in leadership acknowledging how much of a failure this has been? Without trying to defend themselves? Have they even publically acknowledged this as being a rebuild? How dense can an organization be?

Yeah, cuz it's way too optimistic

And it will ?

I was at the game. He was magnificent. It was quite the show to watch. Guardians fans were PISSED. Especially at the umpire lol.
