Im sure Stone is getting his Twitter ready to tell us how stupid we are for being upset at the club

Stone and Benetti are going to have a long season, since it's their job to put a positive spin on this train wreck.

Why root for these DUI driving assholes? 

Didn’t know there was more than one on the Sox.  I do know there are more than one cheating assholes on the Astros.

There is a perfectly fine team just down the road from me in Houston. I've ignored them for 25 years. Why not enjoy life? Most of the board here wanted one of their people hired for manager so it's not like anyone really cares how they win. Plus they have changed. 

I got shredded for contemplating the same thing, but with the Cubs. I could enjoy a team with no expectations at a stadium a mile away from me. Sounds like a better deal than rooting for this team. 

It’s so strange, Jays have a good bullpen and don’t have to spend 50 million on it

I usually draw the line at same league although did make a notable exception for Royals since lived there a decade and Sox were terrible then so didn't really matter.

Team of guys who only care about the 15th and 30th of every month 

People saying they will jump ship to another team wont and cant. It wont be the same. You know it, stop saying it. You will always be here. 

McGuire retains DH spot due to one hit and just barely over 200.

.202.  Sheets .203.

For the last few years, while the Sox were rebuilding, i would pick another team that i liked, to follow their playoff run . i never thought in a million years that i would have to do that THIS year.

I generally agree. But here's the difference, I have to work at following this team. I plan part of my vacation to see games in person. I'm three hours away from Houston, my daughter and her family live there. I feel like I'm working harder at this team than half of the roster.

Clearly the manager knows you can only use him in a save situation. 

Were Sox fans. It's in our DNA. Other than that glorious 2005 season it is our cross to bear.

Until JR is no longer the owner we have nothing but disappointment to look forward to with this team. 

The rebuild was officially DOA the day TLR was hired. Everyone laughed at the White Sox then and their really laughing now. 

One old man looking to atone for a past mistake by hiring another old man with a drinking problem. 

What could possibly go wrong with that?

And the Sox use a decent amount of draft capital for the bullpen - and they still spend $50 million.

Plus the likelihood of a lead tmrw night against McClanahan starting VV…on the road, not exactly robust odds he will get into that one either.

I don't know why Sheets is on the team honestly.

And punting another “free” $1 million in draft money to allocate when Rodon rejected the QO…

Shot at an MLB pension like his dad?

Lineup has six black holes and Pollock on the bench after recent string?  Yikes. Might as well be Mariners’ supporters (minus Kelenic fandom).

Yeah, but if he had accepted, then the Sox wouldn't have been able to set 20M on fire by signing Big Energy, VV, and Joe Kelly.

Spend $50M on a bullpen that never gets used and fail to fix an offense that can't score more than 3 runs a game.  Brilliant team building.

I like the way you think

?

It's pretty apparent that the FO brain trust thinks that the bullpen is where you find spending efficiencies. The same may be true with utility infielders.  They're out to lunch.
