Lip Man 1 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 1 hour ago, The Mighty Mite said: Maybe he’s demented and his family should put him in a home, what else can explain this disaster. Has he shown his face in public at all this year. I have read that hoarders can have Dementia and we know that JR loves hoarding money. He's been at home games this year I've been told in his box suite, usually by himself. Again from the November 2022 story: “JR has become oblivious to things and what he’s allowed to happen is sad. He’s probably the most successful owner in Chicago sports history given the Bulls titles and the White Sox one which is dear to his heart, but what has happened the last two years is just sad. He is out-of-touch. And even worse he’s inaccessible. He’s either afraid of having to answer questions or he’s incapable of doing so.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. How much good is Andrew Benintendi doing for this roster right now? Because that is the type of free agent this organization signs. A roster full of C and D level FA is already the worst team in franchise history, and is on pace to be one of the worst teams in Major League baseball history. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 I guess the postgame show was good today with all 3 ripping the Sox. Just the players though, they didn't rip JR or the skipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeC Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Even if you removed our two longest losing streaks of the season (17 and 14), our record of 27-50 (.351) would still be the worst in the MLB as of today (next worst - Colorado at 38-69 for a .355 winning percentage) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 On 7/27/2024 at 9:44 PM, fathom said: Truly one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen is Grifol not losing his job yet It's ridiculous really. There is no professional sports organization that would allow this to linger for as long as it has. I understand that Grifol is most likely getting fired at the end of the season, but there is literally no reason at all he hasn't been fired yet. They have to pay him regardless, and the interim manager is already on the payroll. Its not costing any extra money. To just let this rot all season is doing far more damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured this one had been the longest....but I guess it still might be by the time they are done. What was that line from Ditka?
