Quin Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Quote CHICAGO—With the franchise on track to have what may be the single worst season in the modern history of the sport, Major League Baseball sought to remind the Chicago White Sox on Friday that the team’s games were televised. “Based on the way you’re playing, we just wanted to make sure you understand that there are people watching you—that pretty much anyone can go on TV and see what you’re doing on the field,” said MLB commissioner Rob Manfred.

Reprimand the Sox, fine the Sox, and yes, contract the Sox. With no plans on improving for at least two more seasons, put this franchise out of its misery. Frankly it doesn't deserve to continue on (yes I realize the story is fake, but it actually shouldn't be fake; Manfred should publicly humiliate or fine the White Sox), Peace out.

Highland Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 When I saw it was The Onion, I assumed it was a joke. What isn't a joke is that the Sox can't go on this way. The FO has to do something to improve the team in the off season. I don't expect them to be turned into a contender, but something has to be done. Saying the rebuild is going to take a long time doesn't cut it. You can't have a third straight 100-loss season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never put anything past this incompetent, dysfunctional and inept organization led by an ossified 88 year old owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a realistic scenario where 2025 isn't a 100 loss season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year is looking like another 110+ loss season unless they do something crazy in FA, which they aren't going to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we could go get Alonso and Soto in free agency, but are we? Nah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
