But I am still praying for more pitching

Yeah, how crazy to call a GM setting records of futility bad. It's funny how two+ years of s%*# isnt enough to judge off of but 2 months of competitive baseball is enough to proclaim greatness.

I really don’t want to partake in this nonsense, but the ridiculing of Getz for the two shitty years when he first took over was always stupid given how broken our infrastructure was. People kept telling you that he was making foundation improvements and should be given some time, but you kept clinging to the W-L record and would just say he “stinks”. And here you are, after clearly seeing the benefits of those changes, still highlighting the shitty records those first two years. By no means am I suggesting that we declare an upcoming dynasty, but I find it crazy you are still acting like the 2024 & 2025 seasons are somehow meaningful when assessing Getz.

It was always gonna take a couple years minimum given the org was a literal smoldering crater when Getz took over. It really looks like he's hiring the right people and building the right infrastructure. Hopefully he can continue to do so to keep this team in the hunt for a long time.

Hi guys. First time I've been able to log on since six weeks or so I think. My cookies don't work or whatever.

Before it doesn't work again for me ... my early impressions of course are very favorable. I realize I have hated our rebuilds but I have to give credit where it is due. Getz may be the answer. I still haven't returned to mlb.com but I watch the highlights and we have definitely got some 'amazing' lift and pull guys in Muni, Colson and Vargas. I personally am a fan of Antonnucci (sp?). And I've always liked Meidroth and I've never been a Beni hater. I also like the Savannah Bananas guy. In other words, with three power hitters minimum (I like our catchers too, way to bomb it Quero) I think we can stay in the Central race all year. That's because with pitchers only going 3-4 innings max I think we have enough bodies to do enough on a given night for us to win.

I don't know enuf about our pitchers still. Our closer seems good. Martin has a 1.61 ERA. I'll learn more about them as the summer progresses.

Since this may be the only chance for me to post since my computer hasn't been able to connect, let me say I'm hopeful the rebuilding is over. I'm starting to think Getz may be outstanding. Muri is the find of the decade. The Cub series was awesome and exciting.

I am thinking from listening to highights our play by play guy still is annoying.

If anybody has suggestions for me to be able to log on let me know. It's hard going cold turkey on the site, but there's some guy on X who posts a lot about the Sox and a couple facebook guys do it so I've been able to get my fix so to speak a little bit.

If you missed greg, thanks. If you hate greg, that's your prerogative. GO SOX. GO GETZ. The rebuilding may be finished tra la tra la.

Wow, how'd I miss this?! The GOAT has returned! Welcome back Greg. Your presence has been missed. I'm sure you've been hating on the frequent use of openers.

If there is anyone out there that still doesn't believe this team is legit they should get a cognitive evaluation.

Can honestly say that I did not know this was an Al Green song. Unless it's even older than this recording. I'm partial to the Talking Heads version.

Try listening to the original version of the song by Syl Johnson 1975.

Sounds like it should've been in the Blues Brothers along with Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, John Lee Hooker & Cab Calloway since both the song Take Me to the River and The Blues Brother had gospel and other religious undertones in it .

Gonna start out by saying that I'm not convinced that the white Sox will win the AL central. There are some very obvious holes in this team. But I also think, given the weakness of this division and the flaws in all the other teams, that 84 wins probably wins the division. At what point do we actually start to take this seriously. I'm very encouraged by what I see from the offense and it's impossible to understate just how badly we have been missing a player like Mune for quite some time. Had we had that profile of slugger in 2021, we may have won the World Series that year. At the very least, I would like to see ownership have to make a tough decision about going for it this year.

You spoke too soon. The Sox can win the Central. You can put it on the board Yeah!

GIVE CHRIS GETZ PRAISE FOR OVERCOMING YOU-KNOW-WHO IN WHI...

The worst modern team to play professional sports in this country — 41-121 in 2024 — has shockingly reversed paths and grabbed first place in the AL Central, despite the same cheap owner in his suite

It was a good run fellas.

Wouldn't the worst team to play professional sports be the football teams who had zero wins in a particular season? The '72 Sixers went 9-73 for a .110 record. I get the point, but the hyperbole is a little out of control.
