Any owner who had anything going for him would fire Grifol and Getz today. I have memories of some bad White Sox teams but absolutely nothing like this. Players have quit on this team. Players leave this team to make less elsewhere. This is the biggest joke played on fans. That is not a major league team out there. JR just doesn't have any credibility. No one can look at this situation and not recognize massive changes have to be made. Next year will be another 100-loss season. What is he going to tell fans then? They are rebuilding and it will take time? And even if this so-called rebuild works, how many fans will the team have left by then? 4? 5? Maybe one day the team will lose only 90.

Can they at least fire Schriffen?

Because to JR, it is acceptable. He's been sitting in the owner's box for almost the last 20 years since the World Series, and his biggest move was to hire Tony LaRussa. And now we have Chris Getz. You would think he would be tired of having his name associated with so much losing, but I guess not. Don't forget that new stadium.

Just think. Luis, Yoan, and Eloy were supposed to lead this franchise to championships.

Did Schriffen growl when Vargas homered? Any other growls?

What's there to discuss?

I think this is an excellent plan. This franchise has no future anyway, not in the short run or in the long run.

This is what the White Sox have never understood. It is one thing to lose so-called "fair-weather" fans. It is quite another thing to lose loyal fans. And they have been losing them by the thousands for decades. Now they expect us to buy into a plan where they trade for or otherwise sign a good player so they can trade him for another player who is not major league ready. Now, there's a real plan. Where do I sign up? Oh wait. I can't. I am a fair- weather fan. I'll come back when they're winning. When will that be? 2050 maybe?

Eloy was the biggest disappointment. Injuries and everything else just ruined him. i thought he was going to be a huge offensive force for years.

Pedro hasn't been fired yet. Until he is, any speculation is premature. Are we sure he will be fired?

Moving forward to what?

If you look at the Sox from 1990 - 2006, the team had some great and talented players. They should have won more than one World Series. But since 2007, they have not been able to acquire or develop solid major league talent. Still can't. They will celebrate 2025, the 20th anniversary of the only World Series win in over 100 years by losing 100 games. Why this has happened is anyone's guess.

Of course, Getz won't get fired. He is doing what JR wants him to do. Slash payroll and con fans with a non-ending rebuild.

I don't care about any trades whatsoever. No acquisitions will help in the short tun, and they may not work out in the long tun. Why should I have any faith in this organization?

If they go on a 54-game winning streak, they'll finish a dead even .500. Schriffen can do the countdown. The next game is one. A big one.

AJ did have a reputation, but he was a smart player. Ozzie isn't exactly charming.

Glad I didn't watch this game. Amazing, They are going to clinch a losing record before August starts. This is a complete and total joke.

Regardless, I don't think the Sox would be interested in AJ. The FO was angry about a Getz interview on Foul Territory. AJ got fired as Sox "ambassador."

Outspoken AJ Is the type of the guy the Sox wouldn't hire. That is one reason they should hire him.Do something different for a change.

Really. What can be said?

It is best to build around pitching, but a team can't an offense like the Sox have now and expect to win. There are many other things wrong with this franchise, too. I don't expect to see a winning team any time soon.

I would hope they could do better than an Andrew Benintendi type. I never understood their fascination with him. Right now, they're not doing anything right. A new approach is needed but not on the horizon. Never thought it would get this bad.

Most likely they will clinch a losing season before August. I didn't watch this game, because there isn't anything to see. Regardless, nothing much else can be said that hasn't already been said. This season is so bad that it is amazing. Haven't been to the ballpark yet. Don't know if I will.

No who did the Sox get for Cease?

Dipping into the free agent market won't solve everything, but the FO needs to make the team a little more competitive. The team is in a rebuild that isn't working. I don't see any positional players coming up from the minors. Sit on your hands again, and we will see another 100-loss season. Maybe two more.
