Part of me wants them to call it and get it over with, part of me wants it to drag out as long as possible so the Sox have to sit there and stare at that lopsided score and think about what they did.

Hopefully Eloy coming back sparks this team because I have no clue what else will work.

I hope this rain delay goes for 2+ hours and makes these fuckers sit through it as punishment.   Be miserable like we are.

Just call it. Send everybody home.

Menechino will screw his hitting up.

Eloy will come back and do what everyone else does, grounders

Yeah I don’t trust Hahn and the front office with another rebuild.

A comment I heard from a non fan is why make your team worse in this division.  It makes sense.  I know there's a lot of kneejerk reactions.  The worst kneejerk reaction was hiring Tony.   They get it wrong hiring no managers with experience and they got it wrong hiring a manager with experience.  

 I don't think this was Hahn's choice.

Except his will put him on the IL.

Thank good for the rain delay. I can now go onto something else 

I’m sure someone is giving an inspired, Jason Hayward-esque speech for when the game resumes. 
 

My guess - TLR. Comeback’s all but guaranteed.

Well hopefully our draft is the best player we can develop and not "polished" guys with limited upside or relievers.  

 

This guy screams Lance Broadway

You forgot Kyle McCulloch...

Did we win yet?

TLR is begging to just end the game to save the bullpen an inning more of work…

 

either that or he’s excited for his nap in his office

I have zero faith that this is being done correctly.  Some teams hire fielding gurus to do this.  We move coaches around to see if they stick.

Jay Cuba whoever the hell he is should be manager for one week just for shits and giggles.

Do you think TLR will retire? Who do you they will hire if that happens?

Not even Craig Ironhead Heyward could pull that off.

If it's not a younger guy like Jirschele but another TLR or Sox insider loyalist crony the fan base will revolt...by becoming even more apathetic.

That is why the Twins are in first place and we are on 3rd and falling fast.

AJ Pierzynski?

I'm at the lowest point of my fandom as an adult. That's all. A very solipsistic view but one I'm sure is shared by quite a few people around 30-50.

I honestly can't remember a team that I disliked more over the last almost 25 years.  There just aren't many baseball players on this team.  There are a bunch of athletes that are larping as baseball players and have the baseball IQ of a tree root.

or a former Sox player with no manager experience that we can't stand and forgot what great players they were, that madness has to stop

That madness has to stop among fans.  A dog returns to its vomit.

Hiring AJ without experience is a stupid stupid stupid stupid move.  See Ventura, Robin.  Everyone conflates, OMG HE IS A CATCHER, CATCHERS MAKE GOOD MANAGERS.  This would be a failure and we might as well rebuild again.  

I'm 64 and have seen a LOT of bad White Sox baseball. But this season might be the most disappointing/frustrating/disgusting of them all.

There was the Manuel years.  Did they over achieve or underachieve?  White flag year when Lamont used callups to pitch to Cleveland.  Ruffcorn was a bust but no conditions for big league success when you faced the Indians.

Dislike for ownership probably began with Sportsvision.

Whoever the next manager is, I just hope it's someone with 0 connection to the White Sox. This entire organization desperately needs an influx of new voices.
