"If this goes down as one of the worst seasons ever, it's on absolutely NO ONE but the players."

Again, this is insane.  This is these dude's livelihoods.  They have millions of dollars riding on their performance.  Young guys want to stick in the league and make enough money to be set for life.  The older scrubs want to stay in the league.  Everyone is trying.  Outside of a few guys, they just are not any good.

Are you talking about Riordan?  The dude is a drama queen

Yea, he has been busted several times over the years for exaggerating or making stuff up.  Last time he got called out for it he deleted his twitter for awhile until he realized he couldn't hit on awkward 19 year old White Sox twitters girls without his account.

Riordan is as big a piece of s%*# as Grifol, so grain of salt here. But nobody should be surprised that Pedro would say something this ignorant and stupid. I will take the smallest amount of pleasure in the fact that in Baseball history, Pedro Grifol will go down as one of the worst managers of all time. 

Only 44 more games until he qualifies for managerial records, Sox should fire him that night and he will be the all time leader in worst win % in baseball history.  Would be difficult to believe he would ever get another job to unburden himself of such an honor. 

Edit, I was mistaken, the Sox would have to go 9 and 44 the rest of the way for Pedro to drop below Doc Prothro to have the worst winning % of all time.

Do you REALLY think Chris Getz currently has any say on Pedro Grifol? 

Honestly, I don’t know. I know everybody thinks it’s all JR. Maybe they’re right. 
 

but nor do I see any evidence that Getz is displeased with him.  At the very least, he could micromanage Grifol on some of the stupid thing that he does. But that hasn’t happened.

You would think, but then you have Benintendi jogging around the bases the other day as an example

Personally I hope it's the worst clubhouse ever. To think they are harmonious and all pulling together would make this season 1000x worse. But hey JR, here's your new walk up tune

A change, it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fold, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war
I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again, no, no

Yes this is the logical thing to think, but if you WATCH the effort on the field, it tells an entirely different story, more specifically the guys who already have contracts.

What’s the logic behind keeping this toolbag around the remainder of the season? If it’s for financial reasons, that’s laughable. Didn’t  Jerry just spend like $3.5 billion on an infrastructure development plan outside of the United center. Yet he can’t pay 2 managers a total of $2 million dollars? Lol 

I love how Jerry has these unwritten rules of “business” as he watches this team continue to burn to the ground and smolder into the deep dark blemishes of everlasting Hell. ?

Ive seen a few posters defend Luis' effort, I guess were just seeing different things because that guy looks like he doesn't give a f*** right now.
