Someone who has absolutely no past connection to the White Sox. No AJ or any other dumb shit. And tell Darryl Boston it's time to play shuffle board.

I would like to know how people connected to the organization feel right now. Is lashing out at the fans their only answer? Firing Tony will not solve a lot of things. But if that was done, at least you would show you have a pulse. Insulting the people who pay to come out to see this mess is about as dumb as it gets.
-
You are so right. The same people making the same decisions. They won't have many fans left unless they understand the urgency. They have to do something different, anything different.
-
That was not a competitive lineup. I don't know when they will have one. You can't tell me this team is that much better than Cleveland or Minnesota.

If Stone is such a genius, why is he acting so stupid? The worst thing he can do at this moment is lash out at the fans, no matter how pissed he is. Maybe he should get off of Twitter and do his job. Or maybe something or someone connected to the White Sox should do their damn job. If LaRussa can't be fired, maybe Stone can be fired.

SOX GT 6/24 - BEGINNING OF A 3 GAME WIN STREAK
Highland replied to he gone.'s topic in 2022 Season in Review
This is so true, and any Sox fan who thinks this team is a serious WS contender this season is delusional. We are nearing the halfway point of the season, and the White Sox are still struggling to get over .500. LaRussa is more a symptom than the problem. He shouldn't have been hired in the first place just as Robin Ventura should not have been hired in the first place. The team has floundered for the most part since 2008, and the 2008 team was just an average club. Talk about rebuild. The team has been rebuilding since '08 with little success. -
The real firing needs to come at the top. But JR has controlling interest, so many in the organization are old and feeble and don't care, and so there can be no way JR can be wrested from the CEO position. LaRussa was his stupid idea. And he's a recluse who watches as the franchise loses credibility. Suddenly, the rebuild doesn't look so hot.

SOX GT 6/24 - BEGINNING OF A 3 GAME WIN STREAK
Highland replied to he gone.'s topic in 2022 Season in Review
I'm with you. I have been a fan for a long time and have seen some real bad Sox teams and had some real disappointments. But this year is the worst. -
Darryl Boston has grayed right in front of our eyes. I have no idea what he brings to the table,

Can the White Sox right the ship without making any major moves?
Highland replied to VAfan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Some forget that Hoyt, Bannister, and Dotson were unhittable the second half of the season. And these guys were able to throw complete games, especially Hoyt. If Hoyt was ahead by one in the ninth, the game was over. To top this off there was Britt Burns and the veteran Jerry Koosman. There is no comparison between 1983 and 2022. The 1983 team won 99 games. The 2022 team is not going to get near that. -

Highland replied to VAfan's topic in Pale Hose Talk
It would be nice for the Sox to make a move, but I don't think there is a tradeable piece that another team would want. -
That was the trouble with the hire in the first place. Most managers don't leave on their own accord; they are fired. But JR would never be able to pull the trigger for all the reasons you stated. We are truly stuck with this guy. Another dumb managerial hire by the White Sox.

GT 6/21: TOR @ SOX, 7:10, NBCSC
Highland replied to CentralChamps21's topic in 2022 Season in Review
Yes, Cease has to go more than five. Needs to keep his pitch count down. This can't be another game where the bullpen has to take care of half of the contest. -
AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX PACKED LUNCH WINNER!!!
Highland replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
One of these days, Robert will be considered one of the greatest to put on a White Sox uniform. -
6/18/22 GT White Sox @ Houston 3:10 Cueto vs Verlander
Highland replied to wegner's topic in 2022 Season in Review
Yes, hats off to Cueto. This guy pitches his heart out. And Robert is starting to look like the player he should be. The Sox offense has actually looked good for the past 10 days, and today played smart baseball. I hope they are not getting our hopes up for nothing. But I look at this as a big win. -
I don't know anything about Eloy's work ethic, but I just don't feel good about his situation right now. I am aware the Sox can be closed-mouthed about injuries, but we don't hear much of his progress. He looked to have a future as being a special offensive player. Who knows what his future is now?
-
We keep hearing that everything will be great when the team gets healthy. Problem is the team is never healthy. It can't be said that this team is the favorite to win the AL Central.

6/18/22 GT White Sox @ Houston 3:10 Cueto vs Verlander
Highland replied to wegner's topic in 2022 Season in Review
Not a good match-up although I think Cueto will give it a great effort. I hope that the game is at least competitive. Last two games against Houston, the Sox have been outscored 23-4. Enough of that nonsense. -
I don't know and can't say what is happening with Giolito this season. I do know I keep hearing announcers saying he is doing well considering he doesn't have his stuff that day. Maybe he hasn't had his stuff all year? Right now, I don't think we can count on him like we once did.
-
I hardly ever get to watch the Cubs because I have no reason to buy into their network. When I had the chance to peek in at a game, I saw many empty seats in Wrigley. I think when Ricketts bought this team, he thought all he had to do was stand by the Harry Caray statue with an Old Style. The lovable loser stuff has long been over. The Cub FO has to turn this mess around quickly or the shrine on the north side is going to look awfully lonely.
-
They really don't. They just look for a guy laying around who has a past connection to the White Sox and hire him. No others need apply. Why waste time with an interview?
-
I wouldn't need to shut up because I wouldn't be chanting in the first place. As far as the winning streak, we will see if the Sox can start one against the lousy Tigers. Move into first place? They should be there already. Let's get into second place first. And let's hope that the middle relievers stop blowing multi-run, late inning leads. And let's hope Tony doesn't intentionally walk another hitter with two strikes.

And That's a White Sox Winner !!!!
Highland replied to CaliSoxFanViaSWside's topic in Pale Hose Talk
The offense looked good as it has been for the past week. Relievers survived some hard-hit drives. Jose's ninth inning home run was awesome. Yoan needs to sit until it can be figured out what's wrong with him. -
GT 6/13 White Sox V Tigers 6:10 Chgo Time - Bastard Time
Highland replied to Harry Chappas's topic in 2022 Season in Review
Right now, the Sox are closer to fourth than first. I don't think they can take these games for granted. -
The Moncada situation is strange to me. He looks as if he is still hurt. On one plate appearance, he got a good look at a pitch, and got the good part of the bat on the ball. But the ball went nowhere. It was nothing but the weakest fly to right. It is one thing to say Moncada might not be as good as thought. But a .130 average? In no way, is he that bad. Maybe he is hiding an injury for some reason or the coaching staff doesn't see what his happening. But he doesn't belong in the lineup right now and doesn't belong until all his physical problems are taken care of. I think Robert can still be a truly great all-around player. And I have doubts about Eloy even though he should be a large impact offensive threat. Young players hit a wall at times. I just wonder if this staff can help them get over that wall. It is one thing to have potential. It is another to achieve it.
