greg775 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 4 minutes ago, soxfan49 said: Sox are 20 out. Remember Jerry owed it to the fans to hire Getz to ensure a quick fix 20 out with no plan. Sox are probably going to do what everybody suggests on here: get rid of all players not named Robert. That will require management to acquire a new collection of stiffs to start the 2015 season. Any pitcher worth a flip will be traded meaning we'll need a whole new set of starters and relievers. The bullpen will be even worse next year. The hitting will be the same. Sox will win about 40 to 50 games again and we'll all be happy cause we're tanking/rebuilding baby. Orioles deserve credit for dusting off the White Sox three days in a row. No excuses for them to not sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I suggest that your personal plan should be to outlive current ownership and hope for better times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he throws 100+, he can’t control it. When he throws 96 it gets hit. And he’s a flake. I admit I still care enough to be mad about today’s flop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It amazes me that a cross section of our players have been banished forever, but a guy with the history of Kopech? No problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is terrible. By the end of the season we may only have 1-2 players on any other team's radar. I still think Pham could help a team that needs an outfielder with a decent bat like the Royals. Why would anybody want Crochet if he has some pitching inning limit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) .283 winning percentage, Sox are sliding down to 1962 NY Mets suckage. I’ve never been so depressed in my 72 years as a Sox fan, I’ve lived and died with this team and lost countless hours of sleep through the decades. I was born a hop, skip and a jump from Comiskey Park but I’m so close to giving up and not caring anymore. This is what the detestable Jerry Reinsdorf had done to us Sox fans, I’ve never been a fair weather fan and supported this team through thick and thin since 1952 but what Reinsdork and his other clowns have given us this year is a crime. I’ve already given up with the Blackhawks and am a huge TB Lightning fan so it wouldn’t be hard to devote all my energy with the Rays but they really stink this year. I will probably wait until the off-season and see if they spend some money and try to improve the team, if not then it will be good-bye Edited May 26 by The Mighty Mite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize that the longer they wait to deal Robert, the less value he will have because he always gets hurt.  He isn’t signing a second large contract with the Sox, it’s pretty much over 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 At end of season MLB should execute a Contraction of the White Sox, sell off all players on the roster, give Jerry his money, and then create a new expansion team in Chicago with new owners. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good but that would never happen. JR has to sell, tax savings or not, does he not realize he is scum in the minds of Sox fans and probably the most hated man in Chicago, oh wait, Cub fans probably love him.

Does Greg realize Robert is always hurt and he’s not going to be around by the time things get better? To speed up that process make him available and get as much as you can for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
