Lip Man 1

More flotsam and jetsam, won't move the needle a lot on this disaster.

Six guys in the starting lineup tonight were hitting under .200 for the year. Words fail me.

From DVS post game story: "Trying to avoid getting shut out for the sixth time before a paid attendance of 10,569 – there were fewer fans in the stands, some of whom were heard booing — the Sox were blanked for seven innings on four hits."

"Changing RSNs won’t solve that problem, and it could create one by trying to gain carriage on cable and satellite providers such as Comcast and DirecTV." That could be a big issue. DISH Network is already out since they no longer carry any regional sports networks.

I feel your pain but I think it was someone on the board who posted that MLB has even more parity and more chances for teams to get to the World series than the NBA. They posted the numbers I recall over the past 15-20 years or so. The bottom line is incompetent, dysfunctional and inept ownership. Nothing can drag a franchise down quicker than that.

Don't stop now boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?

In the long run they can have 100 meetings and they won't do a damn thing.

Spelled his name wrong...typical. ?

Stassi is more wasted JR money it seems, I think the Angels are paying at least some of it but still, more stupidity.

Let's put it this way, speaking just for myself, I'm willing to take that gamble that new ownership won't be as tone-deaf both on and off the field when running the franchise.

Pretty hard to think any ownership group (it won't be a single guy probably a corporation) will be as bad.

JR won't last that long. When new ownership arrives Getz will be fired.

Wilson may be traded as soon as this July. Can't see him staying for the length of his deal.

Watch they'll sell off somebody. That seems to be the organizational M.O. lately.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over this happening. It's not.

Already the fourth time in just 15 games played this pitching staff has allowed double figure runs in a game. ?

It won't matter for two reasons....he'll get hurt again at some point and the Sox will be completely and totally D.O.A.

I've been a fan for 63 seasons now. I hope they set the all-time record for worst single season in the modern era. Ownership and the front office deserve nothing less then complete utter scorn and derision.

Three more errors today...defense right? ? Like I posted a few days ago, guys have got to be thinking, "Get me the hell out of this garbage dump!" Another two weeks and you'll start seeing these guys not even trying anymore.

One example I can point to is his interview with Bob Sirott on "Chicago Tonight" which took place in May 2004. In the interview he specifically said he has advised his family to sell the Sox and keep the Bulls. I was also told this by a source for my November 2022 story on "The State of the Sox." This person has been connected to the White Sox for a long time: “JR has told his family he does not want any of his sons owning the team when he is gone. The Bulls are fine he said because they make Michael (Reinsdorf) money but baseball just doesn’t allow you to do that. (no salary cap)” (Author’s Note: Was told by an individual who knew some of the minority owners that “The Sox haven’t lost money in a long time.” A second source agreed with that statement. Seems to be a conflict doesn’t it? Maybe JR isn’t making enough money to suit him vis a vis the Sox?) A second source offered this comment on the future: “I was talking with an agent and they said the next owner of the Sox can’t be a group of investors, it has to be a big company. That’s why Dennis Gilbert, who tried to buy the Dodgers won’t get the Sox, he can’t come up with enough big money investors”

Grifol said he wouldn’t put Kopech on the mound back-to-back days if he goes multiple innings the night before. The Sox coaches have also taken that approach with Leasure, who threw two innings for the first time all season against the Guardians and one on Saturday.

I guarantee you if they come close to approaching the 62 Mets record it will draw national scrutiny and the media will start taking a closer look at how this entire rebuild was a dismal failure.
