greg775 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I thought a 10-game losing streak deserved its own thread. Heck our boys may end that streak in their next game. However it deserves a comment and question. My comment is: Even though our club really stinks overall, it has little chance on a given night, any night, on the road. Why? Well generally our bats die. We had what four hits tonight? To show how bad we are on the road, the Rangers were struggling a bit as our Sox arrived 3 games ago. Now for however long, maybe not long at all, they've been rejuvenated right after the all star break by our boys dropping three more. My question to you is ... as a fan would you like the streak to keep going? Do you want the streak to pass the 14-gamer in May? My ANSWER: Yes. The man who doesn't ever wanna take does want us to have a 15-game streak to go with the 14-gamer. Why? Just to again embarrass Jerry. He has to be moderately embarrassed to what has become of his team. Or is he still living off 2005 as well as the Bulls titles?? Peace baby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 And I didn’t think they’d be able to match their 17 game streak from the first half. Looking possible after all. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) How do they not fire Pedro? I get he isn’t THE problem, but how can they deny that he is A problem? On talent, this is not the worst team of all time. Edited July 25 by Timmy U 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Jerry doesn’t care and thinks Sox fans are stupid and will accept Grifol’s firing at the end of the season to serve as the fall guy for he and Getz.

In answer to the question, I never ever want the Sox to lose a game, every loss is like a small paper cut. What I want is new ownership who will run the White Sox like the big market franchise that they are instead of like the Reds, Pirates, and Royals. What Reinsdorf has given us this year is an absolute nightmare with a horrible GM who is in over his head, the worst manager in the history of the franchise and a roster full of bad players who are either castoffs or failed minor leaguers who have no business being in the Majors. The hitting is atrocious with guys with clueless at bats, does this team not look at tapes and see what they are doing wrong and maybe trying something different, what the f*** is the hitting coach doing, probably just stealing money. Right now they would probably be better off replacing everyone except for a few guys with the Birmingham Barons, it couldn’t be any worse.

Kyyle23 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I think, that if Pedro can turn this around and get this team into the playoffs, he should be manager of the year 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Mully said the other day that no Sox team has ever had multiple losing streaks of 10+ in a season. Not sure if that is true, but hats off to Pedro for this momentous accomplishment if it is true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 This development Pedro always talks about is so fake. Right now, the only 'develpmental" position players are Lee, who Pedro tried to keep off the field as much as possible in the first half before his broken toy was taken away. The other is Baldwin, who is sure to be in Charlotte soon. The rest are vets they hope play better, but they have already shown, the staff can't help improvement along.

What was the point of bringing Baldwin up, they should have let Sosa finish the season with the big club even though he botched up a few plays at second base. Every move Getz makes blows up in his face except for Crochet and Fedde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I’ve been very clear on this. I want them to lose as many games as they can. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I was thinking last night how boring each game had become. First five innings, good SP. I’d be thinking “hey maybe we can eek out a 1 run win” They come back and we go down a run. I go to bed and think “now they are gonna score 6 runs in the 8th and 9th” I wake up and we lost 10-2 or something. Rinse and repeat. f*** Jerry Reinsdorf. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is 3 years, I got to think he is gone but that means the Sox have to eat the 3rd year. But if is it 4 or more? The White Sox may eat 1 year but if it is 4 or more I am not sure since the Sox seem to care less about winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have just made him hourly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
