  1. Are you serious? The Mariners are at least a .500 team right now (actually 73-71), have the 7th ranked farm system per Baseball America, and they are willing to spend money. If you were a quality manager, would you choose to sign with Jerry and the White Sox who are going to set the worst record in MLB history this season, are rumored to drop their payroll to $100 million this offseason, or the Mariners? Do you typically enjoy career suicide? Quite honestly, it’s hard to think of a worse team for a manager to choose than the White Sox. Also, the only manager Jerry was willing to pay big bucks anytime recently was his buddy TLR.
  2. Well, Kopech did have 5.1 scoreless innings before he left the Sox so he’s been good for about 21.2 innings straight. India is mediocre and is a free agent in two seasons so he wouldn’t make much sense for the Sox to acquire, but neither did Vargas who is terrible. And the “LOL Sox” narrative is a thing. They have the worst owner and GM in baseball, which is why they are going to set the record for futility. Amazing that anyone would even try to defend the Sox or that almost everything involved with the team isn’t an epic failure. Do people not understand the record they are about to set? Fletcher, Vargas, etc., etc. It’s one big gigantic embarrassing mess.
  3. I doubt he would want to leave his 16,000-square foot home in Scottsdale, Arizona for this s%*# show.
  4. They would be best to roll with Fields and see if he’s worth giving an extension to. Russell Wilson is toast.
  5. Getz grabbed a GM job that no other team was offering him anytime soon. But it will likely result in a much shorter front office career for him because he is going to have a terrible win/loss record with this team. I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t find another job in the MLB after his tenure with the Sox. Just look at Kenny and Hahn.
  6. Yes, it would be a very wise career choice to avoid Jerry’s circus. Most managers end their careers with the Sox, if you look at the last 10+ years of Sox managers.
  7. The article even mentioned that Kopech’s last really good ~5 innings with the Sox were part of the reason the Dodgers made the trade for him.
  8. Nightengale has been long rumored to be a mouthpiece for Kenny and Jerry, so it is a surprise he now seems to be taking more shots at the Sox recently. Regardless, what did he say that wasn’t true? You must really like Vargas.
  9. Here’s the article… https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2024/09/08/mlb-standings-trade-deadline-michael-kopech/75128155007/ It also states that the Sox first choice as our next losing manager is Skip Schumaker, but he will have other suitors.
  10. Still paying attention until they set the record for ineptitude.
  11. Yep, too many tipped passes and he doesn’t have Fields’ height.
  12. Boob is trying to further shame the Sox for this trade… “MLB trade deadline revisited: Dodgers pulled off heist to get new bullpen ace”
  13. Bears had no business winning that game. The Titans outplayed them for 2.5 quarters. But Levis’s brain farts and the Bears defense changed the game.
  14. Levis just earned that completion. He got rocked right after.
  15. Seriously, it was. Take the sack dummy.
  16. And no one could argue against Norby due to his glove because Vargas is awful defensively anyways.
  17. I thought we were past this starting this season. Guess not.
