I think it's possible they tie it but I'm not sure they break it. Never put anything past this organization but being swept only gives them a tie with the 61 Phillies at 23.

Heads22 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 my guess is they won't fire him til the road trip is over because otherwise they'd have to pay extra to fly him back 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have faith in the streak. 29 MLB teams have more talent than the White Sox and there isn't any help of any significance on the way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk I’m grasping at straws I suggest that Sox fans boycott attendance to GRF until Grifol is fired or at least the losing streak is over. Hit JR in the pocketbook.

Green Line Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) 15 hours ago, Saufley said: It appears there is no shame in this organization and ownership group. In all my years as a fan of the White Sox I have never been more disgusted than I am now! If you can still feel disgust then you're better than me. Most people I know have moved on from disgusted and are just watching the dumpster fire in bemusement. I wonder how long the streak can go. Jerry & co have successfully killed interest in the White Sox for thousands of fans who thought they were die hards, like me.

I would love to see them break the losing streak record and the single season loss record. Truly, go down as the worst team of all-time. Make history, boys. Don't stop now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR has destroyed the White Sox brand. All those celebrities who used to wear the Sox caps will be too embarrassed to wear them now, along with thousands of fans. I guess Sox jersey sales have collapsed. It is a disgrace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit JR in the pocketbook. Does money from attendance make a big difference to a clubs finances in baseball? Being from the UK I know that in the case of many Premier League Football teams they can operate without the money from attendance because of the numerous sponsorships and off field earnings.

Attendance money definitely makes a difference. Obviously JR is (or was) running the team right now with a inflated budget from the last couple seasons and nobody is coming to the park this year and a lot of last year, and he is fine. But this is reducing and basically cutting off revenue streams, everyone that doesn’t come into the park, doesn’t buy a beer and food and apparel etc. and nobody wants to come next week because this week was so fun. And nobody is paying for parking, and less people are doing the 50/50 raffle it’s just all bad. This is a historic level of shooting yourself in the foot 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season I have not watched and at bat or pitch thrown. Why even watch this team?

The ownership group doesn't care so why should I? I've stopped watching. Schriffen is awful, and Stone is embarrassing himself. And nothing seems to shame this franchise. It is frustrating because the team has never been in this bad a shape. This is we get for tanking. More tanking is on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 At this point most anything that would help today takes away from 2027. The team is only going to get worse after Robert and Crochet are gone. And if you don't have any hope in the team rebuilding and developing anyone, then it's going to be decades of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
