harkness99 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Parts of the year I thought I saw some improvement on plate discipline and some other fundamental areas. Boy has that gone down hill - Meidroth and quero dont walk any more... tonight meidroth swings at ball 4 twice. Lenyn is the epitome of dumbfuck baseball. I thought maybe our new manager was okay - but after tonight let me throw him in with the clown show. I've been a white sox fan for 37ish years and I'm actually close to done. This was the first game I've watched in a few weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe the great city of Chicago is represented by this team. Wonder if Jerry will rip the fans or say publicly, "they should be happy they have a team."

The city is a lot more concerned about the Cubs' recent slide and Kyle Tucker's health...along with PCA's slumping second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 This team isn’t going anywhere next year without signing significant free agents, which we know won’t happen. They’ll be lucky to win 70 games in 2026. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually a good thing and it might actually make this team worth adding to in a real way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Bay only has one sports team and has a lot of success. The only positive was the Jordan Bulls which you many never see an NBA team like that again. It could be worse like Oakland the official farm system for the Yankees since I could remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's despicable what happened to Lloyd Pettit's Blackhawks. The Bulls aside from the Jordan years (which were wonderful) define mediocrity to badness. The Bears have been so bad it's almost like they belong in the CFL not NFL. Sox used to be a pretty good franchise. Even in bad years they contended a while and weren't out of it in early May. The Cubs are hexed by their beloved stadium which Ozzie cracks me up when he rips Wrigley. The Cubs seem content to play .460 ball in that relic of a park although this year they are exceptional somehow. They have as good a chance as anybody to get hot in the postseason and make the WS.

Holy bleep. We've lost 10 of 11? That used to be monumental in Sox-land. Now nobody even notices. How the hell has our improved club lost 10 of 11?

No one cares about hockey. Only in Canada. The average person will see an endangered species in the wild before an NHL game. Chicago is a losers paradise. The Cubs might ruin that.

Hockey actually is exciting in person and Chicagoans know that. I assume prices are now outrageous. Wat's parking at a Hawks game now? 50 prolly? Hockey sucks on TV but is a blast in person. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I think we have a nice nucleus of young players but they all have some flaws. They are all looking at I pads in the dugout after a bad at-bat but are they actually learning anything, take Sosa, he keeps swinging at balls way out of the strike zone, none of them except for maybe Quero cut down on their swing with 2 strikes. This is where good coaching comes into play, what is our hitting coach teaching these kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
