True. Forgot about that stretch. They were cheated in 1992. So about 30 years.

In all likelihood absolutely nothing. Pittsburgh has been floundering since 1979. It wouldn’t surprise me to see the Sox still floundering in 2035, thirty years after their last World Series.

Usually plan it but 2026 will be using Cosport packages I believe.

We go to almost every Winter Olympics. Usually see most of the curling. 2018 was really something.

Sounds like The Bad News Bears (which I saw for the 500th time last night): “And we did hit 17 foul balls!”

They have won three games by a total of four runs. That’s luck. They could very easily be winless.

The Sox are 30th in all of baseball in run differential. On the wrong end. Next closest is 20 runs better. https://www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/run-differential More than half of their losses has been 4 or more runs. Their three wins are by a total of four runs. They are less than a handful of runs away from being winless. This is one of the weirder takes.

Of course he was going to get hurt again. Last year was the outlier. He got hurt all the time in the minors and in the majors. It was indeed a massive failure not to sell once he managed to play a full season.

Bbbbbutt, they hired Getz because they couldn’t waste a season with a new guy getting to know the organization. Of course you’re right. Getz is in over his head more than Hahn ever was and is at the same depth as Grifol.

And he is the proud owner of the largest White Sox contract, ever.

It’s like people have memory holed the last 6-7 years.

Far more Bears fans to make their voices heard than there are White Sox fans.

You misspelled “stupid”.

Also interesting that a fan rooting against them breaks their spirit but a 2-12 record does not?

Would there be any takers for Kopech? Any that would trade even a lottery ticket for him?

They are not a national laughing stock or national disgrace. They are ignored. They can’t even get their championship from twenty years ago recognized by local media. Nobody nationally is paying enough attention to the White Sox to laugh at them.

As you get older you learn to realize these guys we (used to) root for couldn’t give a rats rear end about the fans and your attachment to the team wanes. I realize that’s not universally true but is certainly true with most the fans or former fans I know. They’ve moved on to other teams and are not unhappy. Life’s too short to let entertainment be anything other than that.

Lowest attendance?

Also, it’s a message board so fans can, theoretically, write their thoughts about the team. If fans are supposed to be happy and positive, please point to the ray of sunshine the Sox fans can cling to.

Pretty soon it will be gimmick time, like Bill Veeck. Bring in Peter Dinklage to pinch hit. Sign Jennie Finch. There has to be a Willie Mays Hayes or Ricky Vaughn out there. They could sign Trevor Bauer and just call him Wild Thing.

It couldn’t be worse if you turned it over to caller Berto from Silva and Waddle.

They never even did an interview process. They literally took the guy that failed in his role and moved him up.

Well they are outperforming their Pythagorean W-L%. Seems it could get worse.

I think they knew they were at the end and wanted to give one last FU to the fans.

Nothing really likable or unlikable about him. Like celery.
