One would think something dramatic would happen because I can't see how the FO can run out another 100-loss team next season. But we're talking about Jerry Reinsdorf here. His wife wanted him to sell and he ignored her. He wants that new stadium, and he will continue to work for that even as the team loses big time.

Sox @ SD Game Thread (9/21) Not Needed; Sox Still Suck
Highland replied to WhiteSox2023's topic in 2024 Season in Review
Seeing that they already have tied the American League is jarring. This season will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. -
Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
Highland replied to Paulie4Pres's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Future? What future? Wins? They had a three-game winning streak. There are no more wins. Development. Now that's a good one. -
Sox @ SD Game Thread (9/21) Not Needed; Sox Still Suck
Highland replied to WhiteSox2023's topic in 2024 Season in Review
To go along with this guy, you have the fan-hating Steve Stone who would rather be somewhere else. It is unbelievable how Sox can't do anything right. Bennitti had his faults but he was never this bad. This situation just symbolizes how horrible this season has been and how there is so little hope for the future. Rebuild? Rebuild? What rebuild? -
Sox @ SD Game Thread (9/21) Not Needed; Sox Still Suck
Highland replied to WhiteSox2023's topic in 2024 Season in Review
Schriffen will never get a clue. He is more reason not to watch the Sox on TV. -
Hahn had plenty of time to build a consistent winner. The rebuild began because the team had no direction. He should have been fired long before.
-
Ozzie is the type of person who wears out his welcome. By 2011, he had done that. But don't worry. The Sox will get a new stadium. They won't have a team to put in it, but they will have a new stadium. Maybe they will finally re-hire Ozzie, and he can manage a 100-loss team.

The Sox have won 100 games one time in 125 years. Right now, I'd like to see them get to 50, Regardless, the FO needs to do something to attract fans, not that they care.

The Athletic: Must Read article on Jerry Reinsdorf/White Sox
Highland replied to thedoctor's topic in Pale Hose Talk
JR wanted no part of signing Ohtani. So, Dodger fans get to watch the guy smash records, and we get to see the wrong record set. JR refuses to see that he is not doing anything to hold the line on salaries. No, he doesn't want to win that badly. -
The Athletic: Must Read article on Jerry Reinsdorf/White Sox
Highland replied to thedoctor's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Don't have access to The Athletic. But I have heard several JR apologists say that he wants to win badly but he wants to do it his way. 2005 is approaching 20 years. Doing things his way hasn't worked too well. You would think you would change something if your team has won three post season games in almost 20 years. When does it occur to someone that things aren't working too well? If it was me, I couldn't sit in the owner's suite and watch this nonsense. The fans won't sit out in the bleachers to watch it. -
I have no grudge against Hahn, but I don't feel the need the apologize for anything. He was given enough freedom to do things. He didn't. Right now he looks better by comparison. The franchise is heading south.
-
JR doesn't want to put money up for players or a new stadium. So, the team can continue to stink, and hopefully the stadium never happens. He shouldn't get this windfall when his team will set the record for the worst record in MLB history. Too bad he won't end up in jail with Trump.
-
I don't envy Sizemore. What can anyone say about this team other than it is the worst in major league history? Struggled to get a bit hit? They've got about one or two all season.

Reinsdorf releases statement to say he'll speak more later
Highland replied to Sleepy Harold's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Unless JR is going to say they are going to abandon this stupid rebuild, I am not interested in anything he has to say. -
Hawk was a shill for JR and MLB. He often acted like a spokesman for Reinsdorf. I don't know how much honesty you can expect from him.
-
Getz isn't the only one who needs to go. The organization needs a complete overhaul, but that is not going to happen even with the 2024 embarrassment. The franchise is in the worst shape it has ever been. Playoffs? Even just .500? No one knows when either will happen. This is a complete farce. I don't know how JR sits in his owners' box and watches this, but he does. Skybox anyone?
-
Let me get this straight. The White Sox have two straight 100-loss seasons for the first time in franchise history. And the second one will probably be the worst in major league history. Yet after running his franchise into the ground, Jerry Reinsdorf is supposed to get a publicly funded stadium. Feeling a little entitled?
-
Yes, he has to be right about everything., It's petty. The scum statement even surprised Hawk. He only hurts himself when he does these spiteful things. And now the franchise is completely falling apart, and it will be years before the team is winning again, if then. And he can keep his stupid stadium until he has a team to put in it.
-
How about that new stadium? It faces the skyline. What a view.
-
I hope this stadium never gets built.
-
Winning is such a different thing. Forgot what it was like.
-
A logical person in charge would do one of two things. One, start making significant investments to show the baseball world he is serious about making changes. Two, sell the team to someone who is willing to spend upfront to build a winning and profitable franchise. We don't have a logical person in charge. He is in some kind of dream world.

Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
Highland replied to Paulie4Pres's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Even the 1989 Sox, a team that lost 92 and ended up last, had an 8-game winning streak. Nothing near that in 2024. -
Hahn. Williams. Getz. All part of the same organization that has had this franchise in reverse for the past 15 years. Change is needed so badly, but it isn't happening. And it won't happen.
