When you're down 2 in the 8th and Nicky Lopez hits, you know you suck so bad.

why are the fans not booing?

Are they not going to pinch hit the big baby?

I'm clearly not NEARLY as qualified to be the GM of an MLB organization or anything, but....my first sign that maybe a guy isn't someone to go after when I have limited resources is....

...no one else wants the guy.

we have some of the worst contact I've ever seen, any team, any level. it's pathetic. pop out, pop out, ground out, ground out, strikeout, we might hit three balls hard a night.

Your logic is sound my friend.

Jesse Winker, check him out.

 

Lugo ERA down to 1.05.

Like the those historic 1967-68 pitching numbers....when you face the White Sox frequently.

No.  Ahmed Rosario PLUS José Rodriguez... then this team would be awesome.

Someone should have informed Pillar's agent that if the only team offering a roster bonus of 3 million was the White Sox, no team was offering a roster bonus of 3 million -- or anything.

They don't need difference makers.

They just need REAL major leaguers/competence/respectability.

Dominic Fletcher was the closest they could claim to a difference-maker added the entire offseason.

That tells you pretty much all that you need to know.

Getz also couldn’t wait to get some of these guys.  The Bummer trade was the first transaction any team made I believe, and then DeJong was early in the process as well.

and then what?  They have 3 wins instead of 2 and they trade him at the deadline for some 26 yr old in A ball?

Jerry needs to make a statement about this debacle.  He promised quick fixes.

Yeah, you can’t exactly argue for DeJong and Lopez. Yeah, they’re placeholders, but so could Sosa, or Remillard, or Romy (if not DFA’d due to roster crunch). They’d put up similar numbers lol they could be placeholders too.

Well, apparently they're determined not to ever announce a crowd this season with just four digits.

 

Because THAT would apparently be TOO embarrassing.

Trini Lopez was better hitter.

They all suck, but that’s also why Getz and Grifol should have been fired last year as well.

I saw article today Sox are leaving NBC Sports Chicago to go to the JR owned Stadium network next year. Announcement later this week.

Rosario is no big loss but it’s a good thing they dumped Rodriguez only to DFA numerous guys later.  But I guess it was important for the Sox to keep Bryan Shaw employed.  Yes, this guy…  looks like he’s about 48.

Getz said pitchers didn't want to sign because of the defense. How would having to give up  no runs for a no decision go over? 

This team is so bad.
