August 31, 20232 yr As you all feel, today is the nail in the coffin. Getz is promoted. A guy who probably wouldn't register on the top 150 list of potential GMs for any other team. With that stated, what options do Sox fans have? Do we organize rallys outside of MLB offices asking for someone in the league office to look into the hirings of the old boys club over someone that's actually qualified? Do we buy billboards around the cell like Bulls fans did a few years ago with the Bulls?
August 31, 20232 yr Maybe they can have a bulletproof vest night. That should attract a few thousand.
August 31, 20232 yr The only hope I cling to is Jerry is clearing out the old guard and anybody that makes money to avoid any potential albatross on or off field personnel that may hinder a sale of the team in the next 3-5 years. During that time frame I expect nothing but pain and a redux of the "The Kids Can Play!" era.
August 31, 20232 yr I'm done until JR is gone. I'm not alone. An empty stadium is the only thing that is going to even register on their radar. Don't attend games and don't spend a dime on the organization.

August 31, 20232 yr A good off season by the front office which will lead to the 2024 playoffs for the team.

August 31, 20232 yr Voice your disapproval any way you can to the organization. I withdrew from email notifications and will write Brooks later. Not planning on attending games moving forward. Sadly that's all we really have. All the bad press in the world doesn't seem to change things.
August 31, 20232 yr I will remain a White Sox and all I can do is hope that Getz exceeds expectations, let’s face it, things can’t get much worse than what we have witnessed this year.

August 31, 20232 yr If you are a season ticket holder, you don’t renew, and you shame anyone who does

Don't attend games and don't spend a dime on the organization. Getz being the GM is not going to keep the average fan away. Most casual fans don't know not care who is in the front office. Plenty of people will go to games, buy team gear, and in general keep spending money on the team. A continuously subpar product on the field will have an effect on attendance. This season has been one of the worst in a long time. We'll see what happens moving forward.
August 31, 20232 yr Football season is on the horizon Plenty of time to bandwagon shop Personally, might be time to get a PS5 / Xbox (whatever the current one is) / Gaming PC, and get back into gaming.

I don't know what goes on in the kitchen, but if the food at a restaurant is awful, I'm not likely to go back.

And the food has been vomit-inducing in 2023. The head chefs were fired. A new chef is here. He needs to fire the cooks, clean up the kitchen, change the menu, start over.
