This is three more games this year where I'll be happy and not pissed off. 63 wins is better than 62 wins. I'm gonna follow and get behind this team. Every single win is good and every single loss is band. So your happiness is only dictated by individual wins and not impacted by the overall putrid record of your team, knowing that the season is already a bust? I don’t understand that mentality at all.

Paulie4Pres Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 5 minutes ago, vilehoopster said: I hope so. You started the thread for today's Braves game with this gem: "Keep those losses rolling in!" Then you had some links and some comments about the weather and the chance of rain. Then you said, "Pedro should just email the Braves his lineup card with a note of forfeit. For the whole series." Your constant, endless negativity is a complete drag. I hope you are gone for good. But wait, don't you have to post like 30 "Fire Pedro" comments before you leave for good? You're in the wrong place and following the wrong team if negativity bothers you. There's absolutely nothing to root for with this organization. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilehoopster Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 People act like he's only going to eat innings and not help the Sox win a few more games. He was quite clearly the Sox best starter last year, clearly. For all the people complaining about his character, he was never a problem with the Sox last year. I say get him on the team, get him in shape, and give him the ball. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're right, there's a lot of negativity here. I'm just hoping there's a little bit less from now on with him gone.

Well . . . I have to give you that one. It is an exercise in futility. But my emotions took over, and I just had a strong urge to go after one person. It was dumb on my part. But again, I don't understand why people come on here, literally posting 30 or more comments a day, just to complain. I mean how many time can a person type "Fire Pedro" in a 24 hour period.

They're not really playing baseball, and it sure as f*** doesn't look like they're trying to win. The organization, if they were trying to win this season, deserves zero fans. This team is a walking talking insult to each and every White Sox fan on the planet. f*** them. They deserve every ounce of negativity. If you're hoping for less negativity, it's going to be a loooong decade my friend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just saying this to prove your point. The difference between being putrid, and historically fucking awful, is pretty inconsequential. Just another year the White Sox won't compete for the worst division in baseball. I'm hoping for as many losses as possible, and I hope they lose games with comically bad baseball.

TheFutureIsNear Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Mehh I don’t care. I know it’s a cardinal sin to say the Sox aren’t 100% inept, but if Clevinger was a problem in the clubhouse he wouldn’t be back. Flexen is bad enough that the Sox might get investigated for deliberate tanking if they continue to run him out there. And we can only count on so many innings from Crochet, Nastrini, and MAYBE Eder. There’s 100+ innings that will have to be mopped up. Might as well be Clevinger, regardless of some fans’ hurt feelings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A significant improvement (which this team is certainly not capable of) results in at best another losing season (12th since 2007) in the worst division in baseball with an incompetent, dysfunctional and inept front office...led by an ossified owner who drips disdain for his actual fan base. Yea that "improvement" is meaningless in the big picture. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ain't tanking for JR. You will see some guys who are still looking for another contract trying. You will see others just mailing it in, as they have nothing to play for, and this is likely their last stint in the MLB... This team is hopeless, and the players know it just as much as we do. Look at the bottom half of this order, and their leadoff hitter. These guys are all out of the MLB VERY soon.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 1 hour ago, WhiteSox2023 said: We already saw last year that no one wanted to trade for Clevinger. Bauer can be had for a minor league contract at league minimum and no one has signed him. Bauer and Urias come with an initial circus teams don't want to manage. Sox manage it and then move to a contender. I could see it being much more likely than trying clevinger after last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
