Paulie4Pres Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I can't believe people are still watching this team, let alone attending games. I'll watch to see this team set the 162 game record for losses, and that's about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Plenty of room here in the Estranged/Recovering White Sox fans club!??

Tnetennba Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 1 hour ago, cuban_sammiches said: I agree. I was talking to a friend today (he's not a Sox fan but a baseball fan). 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? Under this ownership regime, minimum 5. The new draft rules would really hamper this team’s ability to stack high draft picks. They won’t be playing in the FA market for a number of those years as well. Maybe they emphasize the INT market to supplement but that’s never been their forte either. Really hard to squint and see a path back to respectability until JR is no longer around. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I think they are doing is trying to lose, not spend and get the team ready to sell and move. The lack of investment in the team, gimmicks to get crowds in the stadium getting rid of SoxFest, finding it acceptable to lose makes it seem like they just want to sell and don’t care about the fan base. I went to the game with my son today and thankfully just spent $80 on everything. I started to think, let’s enjoy what we can before they become the Nashville White Sox. If anything we enjoyed a home run in the section we moved down to from the upper deck. Take that Jerry! And my $80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t have gone if my friend didn’t want to go. Same with my dad. We would not have gone unless people wanted to go, especially since I’d rather spend any money I have with family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly dgaf if they move either at this point but MLB will never allow it. Chicago is too big of a media market to not have 2 teams but Cubs, Cards, and Milwaukee have enough influence to block any expansion group if the Sox ever left. Moving the team is a hollow threat to attempt to bend over the taxpayers for funding a new stadium, Thankfully the state called Jerry on his bluff, but you know he’ll try to play that card again when the negotiations come up with ISFA for the GRF terms come up for renewal and he wants to put the citizens over a barrel again for his own financial gain. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already care so little that moving them to Nashville would be the final nail in my mental coffin. I might have to check out the Chicago Dogs or Kane County Cougars. I doubt I’ll be a Cubs fan, it doesn’t make economic sense for me, what is what was always so great about Sox games. Tailgating, affordable tickets and easy to get to and get home. I can’t say the same about Wrigley and I have no attachment to that team. Though I don’t really have an attachment to this team and haven’t been a huge fan in some time. They were fun to watch in the 2000s but I can’t say the same now, save for the Tim Anderson walk off against Detroit and the Yankees and the walk off grand slam by Jose Abreu against Tampa Bay.

I’ll watch the playoffs and maybe take in an occasional spring training game, but I won’t have to waste time caring about a team that’s never cared about me as a fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Nashville was much bigger than Chicago but Charlotte is bigger than Nashville. Really tired of the Nashville PR machine. Buncha voodoo psycho stuff. I don't see the Seattle Pilots moving there do you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the fans booing at least? Maybe not cause they know when they get up and go to the park odds of an L are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
