What a fucking loser.

I don't blame a single player on the Sox if they tune out the coaching staff. If it is clear to fans that these guys are incompetent morons, how clear do you think it is to professional baseball players who have played for great baseball coaches most of their lives? Nah. Agree to disagree here. Way too many examples of players(pitchers especially) who leave this organization and improve elsewhere. They are the laughing stock of baseball(professional sports actually) and every single player/coach in the MLB knows it.

LMAO

You blame a guy for being uncoachable, when he got traded and ....immediately started listening to the coaches in an organization that isn't incompetent top to bottom? Weird take. Plenty of terrible coaches up and down professional sports that players don't respect and listen to. It's why most of them end up having short careers... I blame the White Sox for employing a bunch of fucking morons that players know don't have a fucking clue what they're talking about. I've played and coached a lot of sports, and know plenty of coaches who EVERYONE knew was clueless.

Basically everyone the Sox traded away, is playing really well.

Just fucking lol @ this team's incompetence.

I'm sorry, but what fucking fan cares at all about this?

Hopefully Getz is better at finding talent for the front office, than he is finding talent on the baseball field. I'll be optimistic when one of the moves he makes....actually works.

How do we still have a poster carrying water for a team that is ....*checks notes* 32-109.....?

Why would you feel better about the state of this team now, than you did last year? Or, perhaps I should rephrase. "Can I have some of whatever you're smoking?"

What did Getz do? He assembled the worst roster in the history of the MLB, while not trying to be bad. I'm not sure how this is overlooked.

500:1? The betting firms probably wouldn't even accept that wager if someone wanted to make it.

White Sox with 3 home runs tonight, matching their previous SEVENTEEN games. Lmao.

It's honestly a shame these idiots scored just 1 run in so many games. Their historically bad offense absolutely deserves the shutout record.

Seriously. Their pitching is bottom of the barrel. Lol. It's Crochet and nothing else at all.

Sure. But can you name a single hitter the Sox have "fixed"?

Let's fucking go!

The hospital staff listened to the recommendations of the Bulls medical staff... That's why they checked for meningitis. You don't just default to a meningitis diagnosis and a spinal tap without reason. It's not like there was a meningitis outbreak happening at the time. You know what there was at the time? A flu outbreak in the Bulls locker room.... The Bulls staff is the reason he didn't get a simple fucking flu test. The fact that the anesthesiologist fucked up the spinal tap is a pretty big red flag, as well. That's the hospital system the Bulls choose to work with(Rush). Yeah, meningitis can lay dormant for a while before being symptomatic. But it being dormant for almost a year? Come on. What an absurd stretch. The Bulls publicly apologized for the situation. Do you think a sports organization does that if they aren't at least partially to blame for what happened? Whatever. I'm done rehashing history from a decade ago. Reinsdorf owned teams have a long history of incompetence when it comes to medical and training staff, and deserve absolutely no benefit of the doubt.

I didn't realize that NBA players were returning to their home countries in the middle of the playoffs.... Weird. Why does where he's from matter at all in this conversation? He had been in the country THE ENTIRE SEASON. Lmao. Also, way to conveniently ignore how easy it was in 2013 to get a fucking flu test. Which the Bulls medical staff failed to do, before RECOMMENDING A SPINAL TAP. You're out to lunch on this topic, but it's not surprising, with how you have continually defended this medical and training staff over the years.

Sure man. Whatever you say. It's totally normal for a professional athlete, who wasn't exposed to anyone with meningitis, to be diagnosed with meningitis and given a spinal tap. Especially before ruling out less serious illnesses. Give me a fucking break. P.S. We had the results of a flu test back in 2013, for my son, in 24 hours. From a pediatric office. You're telling me the Chicago fucking Bulls couldn't administer said test and get the results? lol... Just a further indictment on their staff, if true.

The entire fucking situation was bush league medical care. There was zero reason to believe the guy had fucking spinal meningitis. Defending any aspect of the diagnosis or follow-up is just insane to me. Reinsdorf run organizations have a proven track record of questionable and borderline negligent medical care, and it's pretty undeniable. The number of incompetent idiots that work in the medical field is honestly just terrifying. Myself and other family members have sought second opinions on a number of "diagnoses" that just made absolutely no sense, and were proven to be abject stupidity upon immediate scrutiny by competent medical professionals. There's actually an entire hospital system that I avoid at this point, because of their track record of incompetence. This was 2013, my friend. RIDTs have been available since the fucking 90's. What do you mean "back then no one had the ability to do the testing for flu or anything else except the medical facilities"? ANY doctor had access to these tests. I would assume a billion dollar sports organization would perhaps have one real doctor on their payroll? RIDTs were way, way more readily available after the 2009 influenza pandemic.

THEIR medical staff diagnosed him with meningitis. They didn't even bother to test him for flu. Which is why he was given a spinal tap. The story has been told a hundred times already, and this detail is always the same.

Ok, I take it back. You don't work for the Sox. Because no Sox employee would actually tell fans to stop following the team. Especially when they're getting a couple thousand fans a game most games. Next season is going to be fucking hilarious. I wonder if they can set MLB records for lowest attendance?

For what it costs you to go to the park and indulge in whatever food you're desiring, you could go out for a great steak dinner....

Anyone who has paid attention to the history of the medical/training staff of the Bulls and Sox over the last twenty years knows they can't be trusted. Imagine a medical staff that orders a spinal tap before....a fucking flu test.
