Rusty Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I think I’ll be a Mariners fan. I live in Washington so can watch all the games and travel to Seattle a lot. They certainly have their faults but I like a lot of their players, Scott Servais seems like a good dude, and the front office at least makes an attempt even if they have budget constraints. The stadium is pretty awesome too and Seattle is great in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 lol Bryce Miller legit laughing at the Sox and giving his catcher a thumbs up as he is about to get through 4 with a 5 pitch inning. Dude is legit clowning on a professional sports team because everyone is swinging so early in the count. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 2 minutes ago, PaleAleSox said: No. I’m not the one live journaling about picking a new team. It’s a message board. The entire point of the entire platform is to post messages on the board. The team is the most dysfunctional organization in professional sports that is going to challenge the MLB record for futility. They are playing a likable team that competes at a higher level despite being in a much smaller market. If you are happy to continue to give Jerry your money. Good for you. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy getting to watch all these players mentioned and wish the Sox could get them. Heston, Mayo, Stowers, Holliday , on and on... Go O's ....

MLB would never let them move but, seemingly, the only explanation is that Jerry is actively tanking the organization to facilitate a move. It’s as if he’s actually putting forth effort to piss fans off from almost every aspect. The most redeeming quality of the franchise is some Marshmallow milkshake. Just wait, if Getz is actually able to do his job (questionable) and unload the players he should at the deadline…they’re gonna be really bad. This team without Robert and Crochet has almost zero MLB level talent. If Fedde, Pham, and Delong go too…yikes. They might lose 120 this season. IMO, there’s zero percent chance Getz is fired in the next 3 years, and I believe Pedro will survive at least the remainder of the season, if not longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Reinsdorf family has checked out worse than Luis Robert Jr. Jerry is not going to live to see another world series. They are committed to the Bulls and the NBA. Jerry went down to Springfield in his leather jacket to pitch one last boondoggle and got no action. Once Jerry dies they will sell and then who knows what will happen.

I was in middle school and high school from 84-89 and that wasn't close to this bad with Thomas Ventura McDowell Fernandez Alvarez etc. in the pipeline. Heck Grebeck Paco Martin Christensen Merullo and Shawn Abner would be hitting stars on this team. Ofc I also thought skinny Sosa was the next Clemente. IMO Puig and Tatis and Vladdy Sr. are/were the three closest since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the current White Sox situation - how long would it take for a competent front office to put together a competitive team? 3 years?

greg775 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Again, it's not easy to get swept at home by a team as mediocre as Seattle. My gosh we stink. And today Crochet didn't resemble Sandy Koufax. Three innings of nothin. Maybe we'll rally and win finally. Law of averages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
