How long will Pedro Grifol remain the manager of the White Sox?

1. Did the organization poison the players, or is it the other way around? Our "rebuild" centered around a core of Abreu, Anderson, Robert, Moncada, Jimenez, and Grandal. Anderson and Abreu just disintegrated and lost their ability to hit and were rightly let go. The rest of that "core" all demonstrated an unwillingness to hustle every game, an inability to stay healthy, and no real will to motivate one another to win. The only way to change that is to bring in a strong manager who could cut through the prima donna attitudes and mold them together as a cohesive fighting unit. They thought they had that in LaRussa, but he was far too sick and old. I think that the "core" of players were the poison and the death of the team was brought on by ownership's inability to call in a doctor to save the life of the patient, namely, a successful manager who could take charge and demand results.

2. Honestly, I don’t think it’s fair to saddle another manager with Grifols record and failure. He muddle through an unsalvageable season and then be let go. It’s his record.

3. How often do you see your team making history!?

4. Galen Cisco is chilling the Champagne for the weekend.

5. god this is so funny. If you're gonna be bad, why not be legendarily bad?

6. This is not the manager's fault. The team needs to open their wallet wider. We do have some younger talent in the bullpin.

7. I agree with Ryan 100%. Not going to win with a coaching staff that has very little Major League experience. It starts at the top.

8. Pedro has to go . They are holding on to him to spite the fans
