They went to the World Series once, when there were only 16 teams in the league.
I'm not trying to s%*# on the Sox, only the idea that Chicago is somehow above this. This city is home to the Bears, Cubs and Sox. All 3 franchisers are loser franchisers and known as loser franchises.
They never won a thing during that stretch and the franchise has always been known as a loser franchise. Chicago White Sox - "at least we aren't the Clippers"
The Cubs success has nothing to do with winning and everything to do with Lakeview becoming the premier neighborhood for postgrad Midwestern transplants.
When I grew up, the Sox sucked. When my dad grew up, the Sox sucked. When his dad grew up. Fhe Sox sucked. We've always been one of the worst, if not the worst, organizations in sports.
I have. Beckham was a bad player that remained a fan favorite and was given way too long of a leash. I'm not saying the Sox should have kept Beckham. I'm saying the narrative you invented about Semien was wrong.
That's not really true. Everyone knew the bat was legit, but a lot of people thought he would have to move to 2nd to make room for TA and liked Micah Johnson more. A lot of us hated that trade as soon as it happened.
