I guess we need another list for Kenny, ha-ha
Head to head matchup, please.
Computer simulated 7 game series would be tops.- 1

2023 Sox Playoff Chances
I hate that this made me chuckle.

Kind of surprised ESPN remembered to include them.

4 game Sox sweep gets us to 7 under .500.

4/26 Tor 8 Sox 0
10 of last 11 Sox at bats were strike outs.
Glass half-empty - Worst Sox team everGlass half-full - At least they’re seeing more pitches.

I opened up my MLB app to see what time the Sox play today, and they’ve already lost.
This team is amazing.

Keep Vaughn and Kopech. they might still have some untapped potential, and bc they won't get you much in return
trade everyone else if you get great offers
you're gonna be stuck with Moncada and Eloy unfortunately
Cease and Robert might get you a haul though
I feel like the major issue with 95% of the roster is the Sox would be selling low. Nobody’s ever healthy long enough to have any real value.
The exception is Cease.

*Jerry Reinsdorf liked this*
We're playing right into their hands, holding on to the false hope that they give us every year that MAYBE they'll get healthy and put it all together. We keep coming back for more and they keep shoveling more of the same crap at us - and we take it.
Sox fans have an abusive relationship with ownership and management, and we can't break ourselves from it.
To be fair, all I do I check in on most games on my free TMobile provide MLB.com package. If it’s a good game, I stick around. If not, I check out.
I’m not a local anymore, so I don’t spend a dime on the team.

As much as I’m disappointed and down on this team, I won’t give up this early.
I’m continually amazed at this team’s ability to come out of the gate slow and diminish any possible fan enthusiasm.- 2

Being a fan of the Sox, Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks and University of Illinois has provided very little reason for optimism or enjoyment in the recent past.
I don’t even have expectations of championships for any of them, either. I just want my teams playing meaningful games.
I’d be happy being good enough to make the playoffs in the pro sports. Illinois being in the top 25% of the big 10 in football and basketball would be my goal.
If any of them could sustain success for more than a season or two, I’m sure my expectations would change, but it has rarely happened in my lifetime. 80s Bears, 90s Bulls, 2010s Blackhawks had good runs.
The Hawks were actually good in the 80s and early 90s, but thanks to Dollar Bill, I couldn’t watch them on tv, so they weren’t on my radar as much.

Guys (and gals?), take a look at your business card. If it says “White Sox Fan.” Don’t be surprised by this outcome. It’s part of the deal.
In a way, it’s refreshing to know it won’t go well.

I don’t know if it’s a blessing or curse to have the free MLB tv thanks to TMobile. Every time I tune I, something bad happens.

Tex’s first post quoted in this thread describes my boys perfectly. Both very smart, but they’d always miss turning in assignments, so they would teeter at the A-/B+ or B-/C+ line in so many classes. They’d be humming along with great grades, then, boom, 0 out of 100 on a nothing assignment. I dreaded checking their grades. I was so happy when they finished HS and moved to college. Something about the college environment led them to be more responsible.
I’ could own this site if I had a dollar for every time they told me, “I’ll talk to my teacher” about a missing assignment.

I don’t remember Ozzie having a 100 pitch thing, but I like it. Starters have to give innings even if it’s an bad night for them. The bullpen will burn out halfway through the season if they have to log 4-5 innings a game.
It felt like TLR pitched guys every day last season.

No Leury in the starting lineup again today. Is he hurt? On the way out?
I think TLR gets him every other week in the divorce.

I’m not invested in any particular team, more certain players on different squads, I just want fun baseball to prevail. These games have been awesome and the atmosphere seems incredible. As others have said, how can you not love this?
International sporting competitions are all pretty great. Kind of hard not to get into the “USA USA” spirit and think, “These fans of the other country are dicks.”
Then again, so are ours.
Fun game. Turned it on in the 5th for the Bard meltdown. DeRosa left him in too long.
The Turner slam was fantastic. Can’t wait for tonight v. Cuba.

If you can get a drink and something to eat at an entertainment venue for $10 these days, you’re doing pretty well.

Part 2 is also really good. Good Fisk stuff about halfway through.

Great perk for TMobile customers. I had MLB Network for a few years, and the number of times I tuned in and randomly caught them talking about the Sox could be counted on less than two hands.
As an out of towner, it’s nice to just be able tune into the games and get it free.

5/13- Astros at Sox, 6:15, Fox
in 2023 Season in Review

A few days ago I toyed with the idea of starting a “Whatever happened to…?” poster thread since this team is so abysmal. You were one of the names in my head. Ultimately, laziness won out, so no thread.
