This is a good question. And how would a new Sox ownership operate in Chicago with the fans thinking or knowing the team is going to be moved to Tennessee as soon as a stadium is built? The situation would be worse than Oakland giving MLB a huge black eye. If this is nothing but a ploy, JR is hitting a new low. `Instead of speculating about some new players coming in to rebuild a sick team, we're talking about this nonsense. This is getting more than tiresome. This franchise is barely existing.

Even with his faults, he's a hell of a lot better than Schriffen. I can't listen to Schriffen.

What Tray said and then some. For so long this organization had been on auto pilot, and it floundered. It used to be that the team had some talent even when it didn't go to playoffs. It reached the point where the club had next to nothing. The 2010s was the first decade since the Seventies when the Sox didn't go to the post season at least once. And back in the Seventies, there were no such things as wild cards. A team had to win their division, and had to be a solid team, not some 80-win anybody. Finally, in the Seventies, the ownership had no money and were lucky to put a team on the field. Getz apologists say he is trying to rebuild the organization's infrastructure. Maybe he is. But there's no excuse for putting a minor league team on the field. I don't expect the Sox to go to the post season any year soon. But they should at least put a credible team on the field. How about 75 wins? The organization has sunk to new depths. Empty promises won't win anyone over. Schriffen certainly won't win anyone over with his totally unbelievable BS. Stone Poney can take a hike, too.

I agree. Sheets has had plenty of opportunities. I think he has tried hard to improve himself, but the ability just isn't there. Vaughn is a disappointment, too, since he was so highly rated as a hitter during the draft. The least the Sox can do is make an attempt to get some offense on this team. One way is to get Sheets out of the lineup. Either improve the offense or look forward to another 100-loss season.

Actually, I am already disappointed. I don't expect anything, but I would like a team that develops a winning tradition.

I am not looking forward to anything. I have no expectations. None whatsoever.

The last six games does not wipe out the memory of the previous 156. 80 games under .500 is amazingly bad.

Spare us the words. Spend some money.

Schriffen is no dummy, but I doubt that he will figure things out. I didn't see any improvement. I finally stopped watching. It was the combination of a bad team and its play-by-play guy insulting our intelligence by trying to sell an awful club. He also needs to learn more about White Sox history because he knows nothing about it.

Mets were an expansion team in its first year. What excuse do the Sox have?

Most years a division will have a bad team in last who the rest of the division feeds off of. But this was absurd. This offseason has to be different, or we Sox fans will show little patience. We've been patient enough already. Give us a team that can at least lose 90.

When I hear the "patience" line, I take it that the Sox are going the cheap way. Getz said he doesn't want to do shortcuts, but the biggest problem is that he doesn't have a major league lineup. This team just isn't competitive, and another 100-loss season is on the way. Hard to be patient. The franchise is in horrible shape. Any kind of talk won't do it. The organization is plain out-of-touch and tone deaf. But they have a great play-by-play man!

So much for knocking the Tigers out of the playoffs.

Don't get your hopes up. The Tigers are not the Angels.

Yes, I recall thinking the rebuild was working, and the Sox would be contenders for a long time. It is amazing what has happened to these players.

It is weird to boo a win. But it might be good for the team to realize how angry the fans are. I know it is impossible, but I want the team to win out the schedule and not set a new and dubious record. But the trouble is that lineup is not a major league lineup. Now, that's a reason to boo.

The wrong kind of history. Gee, I am so glad Nicky Lopez is leading off. What a lineup.

Even if the Sox helped to keep Detroit out of the playoffs, it does nothing to redeem this pathetic season.

I remember in 2015 for the 10th anniversary, hardly anyone showed up at SoxFest. Ozzie Guillen made sure he wasn't even in the country at the time. But no Konerko, no Buehrle, no AJ. I have been writing a book on the 2005 team. No one from the team would agree to an interview. Not KW or Hawk either.

It is also a review of truly bad 2024 was and continues to be. Wow, that was bad.

I don't know if they are proud, but they sure are in denial. That's why 2025, the 20th anniversary of the only World Series win in over 100 years, will be more of the same.

I wonder how fans will react when the Sox return for their final three home games.

I wonder if Jerry embraces it while, at the same time, he embraces the idea of a new stadium.

This is such a weird feeling. Never experienced anything like it in my many years as a fan. It is sad.

Yes, but for me, 2024 was the first time in over 40 years that I didn't attend one White Sox game. And for the past over 60 years, I was always at the two ballparks. But I see no reason to attend a game now. And there are many royal fans like me who are sick of this nonsense. They don't need to win for me to go back. Just show some life, and I see no life in this organization. Denial big time. Life, not so much.
