Have some pride even if it's contrived. I like his South Side talk too, I get the impression that he thinks about a baseball team's civic identity, what it might mean to the local community, and I'd support efforts to market the Sox as a neighborhood team rather than as a national or international brand. It might have the effect of international marketing anyway, a South Side Chicago team is objectively cool and everybody should want to imitate it. We have a global identity. I went to China once and met a woman who was obsessed with Lil Durk and less notable Chicago rappers, the South Side exists even in the Eastern imagination. We don't need another documentary about the hat, we need local initiatives. We already had a shooterz night which is a step in a direction, but I'm probably not the guy to ask about marketing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't like teams dissing you, laughing at you? Do something about it besides rolling over and dying. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) The Twins are now on the verge of sweeping the Sox for the second time in a week. Perhaps Schriffen should stay quiet and realize that he is defending a 6-24 team entirely too hard. He hasn’t even been here for a year and he’s already another one of JR’s puppets.

All good. John was the addition that justified the subtraction. I would have gone with a local Sox guy, maybe a Rob Gallas type. Steve is a misanthrope so not much help there.

This guy is not a good play-by-play man. You're right. He is nothing but a JR spokesman. Him and Stone in the same booth is hard to take. I don't care about the Campfire Shake or whatever it is called. Jason had his issues, but he was way better than this. But then again, I'm just a hater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Can someone please get through to Schriffen that you don’t call people out until you can actually do it. 6 win teams don’t “have something for you” when you come to town, except to cure exactly what ails your team (except Tampa) 1 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess tho that attitude is basically the only requirement for the job. It's certainly not baseball knowledge. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I was at Disney World and they told my wife and I we could go to the front of the line since we were the closest two person group. A guy that we walked by told his group to "let the guy in the Sox shirt by, he's suffering." 2 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thinks things are bad on May 1st, wait until our own fans are yelling much worse stuff than the "sportscasters" come summer. It's going to get really ugly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he has to be a "homer," but he is insulting our intelligence with his crap. Same with Stone who complains that the Sox aren't "getting any breaks." The broadcast booth is a joke. Garfien and Ozzie can go, too. And take the listless Gordon Beckham with them. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 (edited) I like the line, but it would be really great if the Sox, were good. Now it's like an epic bat fip after hitting a homer into the first row of the bleachers to trim the deficit to 9-2 with 2 out in the 9th. No need to call anyone out when you are this bad.
