Timmy U Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 My Dad had season tickets to the 1977 Sox when I was a kid. Starting rotation was like Gossage, Forster, Jesse Jefferson, etc. But I flew into town last year for the rainy second doubleheader game last year where Fulmer gave up all those homers. Horrific. Really the sense of "they're never going to be good again." Still fun to see my brother and his kids, though. Reasons I'm still watching: Carlos Rodon, Reynaldo Lopez, rooting for Giolito to turn it around, and looking for progress on Moncada.

Except this is what everyone asked for, that is what is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to refresh your memory the Sox 1977 rotation was Steve Stone (15-12), Francisco Barrios (14-7), Chris Knapp (12-7) and Ken Kravec (11-8) and Wilbur Wood (7-8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the worst for me. Also, Jake Peavy rejected a trade to the Sox that very day. I was at this game. Mind you, I live in Fort Wayne, IN--that's in Northeast IN. That would be a 4 hour 1-way trip (using the trains). I make it to a game every couple years or so...that was the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panerista Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 It's so easy to complain, but look at this again and remind yourself exactly what the White Sox are trying to do https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/HOU/2012.shtml 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is almost like teams with a lot of young kids make a lot of dumb mistakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may or may not matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may or may not matter. It doesn't really matter. The fact that this GM is doing the right thing and blowing it up and rebuilding is enough. He's doing the right things and the pieces we are acquiring and developing look pretty special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
