At least they didn't blame shooting for concert cancellation.

Went with the good  old Chinese airport delays "technical issues" excuse.

Grifol has barricaded himself in the manager's office?

Maybe the artists backed out since careers often go south on the Southside.

This entire organization is a cluster****

Shooting stuff split into its own thread since people may care about that after tonight.

Fans like to throw around the word trade but trade for what?  Would they end up with someone better?

This is always the mindset of fans of small market habitually losing organizations.  Poor scouting just creates that vicious circle.

Screaming trade is more emotional than rational with fans.   

Cease really needs rest duh. 

This is so bad

Watched mostly the Brewers tonight, with the Sox on the other screen . this team makes me wonder why I bother with them.

I don't! Another game I said "pass"! I do want to thank all of you, as I come here to find out what I missed and it's never much.

I have a feeling guys now at simply going through the motions, they just don't have the drive and I get it, that's human nature when you've had a season like this.

Now add in little to no accountability and little to no pride and this is what you get. 

Cease has ceased to be special, folks. We got to accept that fact.

The Sox sure know how to spoil a birthday don't they? A complete 180 from just three years ago when Giolito threw the no-hitter.

It's a pretty cheap/easy ticket to get, weather has certainly improved and Luis Robert is certainly capable. Enjoy!

eloy hit a home run to us.....right when we got up to use the restroom. naturally. 

 

still a fun game except I never noticed how fat every white sox fan is. i doubt cubs fans are any better. i think everyone in chicago is just obese. sadder than losing to the a's.

To be fair the whole damn country is morbidly obese and fighting off the type 2 diabeetus.

But what’s the point of not trading him? What purpose does he serve pitching on non competitive teams for two more years and then leaving?

You trade him and hope that what you get in return develops and aligns with a more competitive window.

I guess Cease is supposed to be good, but after the sell off of anyone decent from the staff, this is how it was going to be.

Just hard living through it.

Game started early so didn't bother, I'm done with the team period until Getz is no longer interim or permanent GM or EVP. Same if Tony is announced as having a formal role.

Not wasting more time on this s%*#. Perhaps I'll be interested in baseball. Jerry needs to go, that's the bottom line, and fans need to stop giving him a penny.

Even Merkin is no longer afraid to speak truth to power:

"Fans booed as Tim Anderson struck out to end the contest, and it was understandable after one of the team’s ugliest losses this season."

We just returned from a cruise and we never saw so many extremely overweight people.

So Cease had 2 good seasons, then off the cliff- just like much of the rest of the “core.”

Small sample size but Korey Lee may not be great at calling games/working with pitchers.

Not to get off point, for the longest time, the word "Obese" was the absolute fattest a person can be, but now the term is "Morbidly Obese" is used to describe this classification
