As a huge Sox fan in the 90s-2000s I remember hating AJ when he was on the Twins. He turned out to be one of the most legendary Sox players ever and here he is on the radio talking about how the Sox are he and his kids favorite organization. Funny how things can change lol.
He should be the manager right now. Even if they were 3-14 with AJ, I'd still have faith in the team. I haven't watched or listened to one game and don't plan on it. Baseball was canceled for me this year.
When Waddle asked whats ailing this franchise? Its Jerry Reinsdorf. Its Jerry. It always has been. For a man that made his money in investments originally, he is a dogshit investor in his baseball team. The problem is Jerry. And until he's gone, nothing is changing. The man is cancer to Chicago baseball and taxpayers.
I'm a White Sox fan who admits the bitter history of this franchise: Since 1920, two AL pennants; Since 1960 one AL pennant; A 40 year pennant drought (1919-1959) and a 46 year pennant drought (1959-2005); 2-11-1 in regular seasons for 1968-1980; Since 1981 one AL pennant; 6 playoff series losses (6-17 in games) apart from 2005; 6-12-1 in regular seasons since 2006; 2-9-1 in regular seasons since 2013.
The White Sox were supposed to be a super power in the early 1900s. Between 1901-1920 they were one of the top 5 favorite MLB teams. Losing 8 of their star players AND the Red Sox trading Ruth the NY created a power vacuum that the Yankees were too quick to fill. We've been cursed since the black Sox scandal.
Even though AJ is semi-Ahole 24/7, rubs people the wrong way, is rude, hated by opponents, hated less by teammates, I've always liked the guy, think he has great insight, and was an under rated great player for years.
I lost it when they hired La Russa. Reinsdorf said after selling Sale , "We'll be rebuilding" , this after 4 stinking seasons ( 2013-2016). I've bailed out ..this from a fan since they wore red / 71-75, and NOW ALL DIE HARD WHITE SOX FANS ARE RED HOT MAD AT JERRY. Look at their win loss record in the last 13 seasons and you'll see near 100 losses 4 times . Just think 2-3 more might be coming
It’s sad to see such low level of baseball from a glorious club : after last two years I was hoping this was a sort of redemption season , maybe not a lot of wins , but a sort of blood sweat and hustle thing. Changes need to happen, white sox can’t be so miserable .
I see why isn't an ambassador to this organization. The problem with this organization is its incompetent owner and his questionable hirings. Can we just admit that resindorf is just a plain horrible owner, both his teams can leave chicago for all i care, take the Sox and bulls to Nashville.
Hey JERRY . HOW CAN THE ORGANIZATION GET BETTER WHEN YOU DONT EVEN SEARCH FOR AN EXPERIENCED, YES EXPERIENCED GENERAL MANAGERIAL WHO IS QUALIFIED AND SUCCESSFUL. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TURN THIS BUSINESS/ TEAM AROUND SO YOURE WASTING MONEY AND TIME
It’s been brutal, just brutal for years. There is no doubt this all rests in one persons lap, Jerry. Just sell Jerry. You can never get the faith of the public back on your side.
Caribbean players for the Sox do not play well in the cold weather of April and May where temperatures in Chicago are 40-55 degrees. Their home countries average 70 degrees+ in winter. So this is why they ride the injury list early in the season. I feel for players here because baseball is meant to be played in hot weather not cold, rainy and snowy April. It would be great if MLB eliminated April games and shortened the season. Ozzie said they're working out in the offseason but not doing baseball activities like running the bases. Running on a treadmill at a slower pace is totally different from running at top speed to first base.
These guys have been here for over multiple years. Most players adapt. They are running to first base for Pete’s sake. Every year, same. Get on a treadmill or something.
@@johantrenier1685 None of these guys live here year round except Tim Anderson. Soon as the season is over, they fly home to the Caribbean so I don't think they've ever acclimated and none of them have experienced a Chicago winter. Abreu (my favorite player) said it was hard for him to play in April/May due to cold weather which explains his slow start every year. I think Ozzie is right - they're not doing baseball activities like running the bases during the offseason. Running on the treadmill at a slower pace is different than running at top speed to first base.
@@llee8825 They just mentioned today DeJong lives in Wisconsin in the off season. He’s having 0 issues. Sheets worked on his swing and changed a few things and is in a normal climate playing fine. DeJong and Sheets pickup truck guys. Jimenez, Robert, Moncada all imports and touchy. I agree with you.

@@UpsonPrattJr. Jim Thome would be a better choice . He at least as worked in the dugout in ST
@@damiencollado727 If I had to choose between AJ and Big Jim, I'd call that a good day.
He was MLB consensus most hated player during his career. And not because he was good lol.
AJs the best. I hope Foul Territory works out for him

Yep. Yep. And yep.
If I'm not mistaken, he would buy real estate and rent it out and was a slumlord at that yet made a profit because of some tax loophole.
Reinsdork has destroyed the team. He deliberately tanked the team so he can get Nashville or loop move. He needs to go. Sox fan since 1964.
AJ should have been hired as manager of the SOX .
And that’s exactly why he never will be. Theres no way Jerry would want him
Yeah another guy with no experience in the dugout 🙄
I’ve been calling this for the last five years!!!!!!
@@damiencollado727 AJ is the most knowledgeable non-coach in baseball. He could roll out of bed and outcoach most MLB managers.
@@maverick1956hk Yeah why would Jerry want someone with passion and a baseball IQ through the roof. That's definitely not a Jerry move.
AJ is the best. Love hearing him.

And outside of 2005, 0 playoff series wins since 1906.
and never made two consecutive playoff appearances ever.

It would make too much sense. Jerry wouldn't want to please the fans in any way.
Great Comment. This Phillies series is so embarrassing
A.J. rocks!!

Here they are closing off the clubhouse to White Sox 2005 members. Classic. 🤦♂️
That's just Jerry being Jerry.

Go back to Wrigley...
That is never happening.
I’m sure Jerry wants to win. The problem is it’s in “his way”.
Doing a proper search would have cost him money & time...he doesn't want to put in either.
Sell the team, Jerry.
Come back to the Twins AJ we really suck

What a stereotype cope out. Tell that nonsense to the families of Clemente, and many other Hall of Famer's who played in cold cities.
