Shuster looks okay 

Especially for a MLB debut...

Any cigar buffs here?  I’m gonna go smoke a stick - my father 1922 le bijou- and try to forget about baseball. 

lol imagine being some poor kid with cancer and your big gift is to go see the White Sox.

I don’t know what you wanted him to do this year when his marching orders were obviously “get rid of a bunch of payroll.”

I admit, I've not watched a single pitch this season, not worth supporting this debacle at the moment.

But...I just wanted to go look at stats, and.....you're telling me this team has 7 HRs and 15 RBIs TOTAL, through almost 10 games???

 

No one should be at the stadium, watching this effort by an indifferent front office.

And I thought I might be the only one not watching this garbage. I haven't turned it on either. I've been around for a lot of years and have never seen a Sox team this disinteresting! The ownership group should be ashamed of themselves!!

“Which player would you like to see try to hit a home run?”

”no I’m good. I’ll settle for a base hit”

Not build a historically bad lineup.

You don’t ignore the offense 100% just to improve defense 

Oh man, I thought little Nicky would actually make contact.  Guess not.

Sorry to bother you Mr. President, but I need your help, again.

What I wanted was for him to properly develop these "studs" the last 5 years as he oversaw the farm and he not only didn't but was promoted for his (s%*#) effort, so yeah, he's a bum

Wait, this lineup isn’t already full with Make-A-Wish kids?

Averaging 1.6 runs a game

Ozzie...."how you going to win games like that?"

Preach, Ozzie, Preach.

Fixed. It’s the only thing that makes sense and I now cannot be convinced otherwise.

100% correct, you can’t sign a handful of players who have batted below 220 for the past few years and think they are all of the sudden going to start hitting!

Nothing to do with sale. Has everything to do with awful attendance last year and horrible attendance projections.  It’s going to keep getting worse.

Did he think they would start hitting? Every quote I’ve seen him give was only about the pitching staff.

Don’t kill my hope. Not yet. Let me think positive for once.
