Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
Ballantini trying to usurp Jay Cuda....what's going on here? Jay was faithful to the White Sox cause for a number of years, going back. And JAY appears, as if by magic, lol.

First Move
Great, more Cardinals Way/Cardinals Nation...can bring back Lance Lynn again, lol. Joe Oquendo and Joe McEwing as base coaches.

Thorpe season ending bone spur surgery in elbow
It wasn't really on the Bulls staff since they didn't perform the procedure. IIRC, they thought that he might have had meningitis so they sent him to an emergency room in a hospital to have a spinal tap (that's the definitive way to check for meningitis), and it didn't seal properly which really fucked him up...

We can't even successfully organize a neighborhood baseball clinic or community blood drive, let alone "being out for blood."

Fire Chris Getz
We don't have access to what player combinations have been available in trade. We certainly know there's about 15-20 FA's on the pitching and positional side that he failed to contact, as opposed to how that money was actually spent. If we keep making excuses about the 15-20% "SOX FA SURCHARGE," they might as well just fold up the franchise and give up attempting to compete. GETZ DOESN'T HAVE A BONE OF CREATIVITY IN HIS BODY. Or that entrepreneurial, "risk taking" gene like a KW or AJ Preller. He certainly doesn't have the PR game down pat, like Hahn and Williams at least managed.

Thorpe season ending bone spur surgery in elbow
With Northwestern Medical and so many other shining lights, it's really a shame that the standard of care for Sox players has gone downhill so much in the last decade.

9/2 GT - Sox vs. Orioles 2:05 CT
They've only hit it once recently, and just barely, and it was definitely a mark over 2 million to pay relatively negligible ticket taxes, around 2.2 or 2.4 or something like that in attendance. Likewise, the bottom threshold was somewhere between 1.2 and 800,000, but it's going to take a lot to trigger that subsidy as well. Of course, you can already look at the parking lot revenues as "free" money for the Sox.

9/2 GT - Sox vs. Orioles 2:05 CT
Yet they're 27th in attendance, and only trailing WC team and recently first place KC by about 2000ish fans per game. Rock bottom STILL hasn't quite hit YET. Which is either 1970 or the late 1980's before the new stadium.

Sounds like the exact same argument most voters are having with themselves these days...evil of two lessors, or the lesser of two evils, not sure which is which. At any rate, it's a pretty sad state of affairs. Not even sure if Getz has the cojones to put up with this constant (anticipated) negativity over the next 2-3 seasons. No way they're paying him anywhere close to $1 million per year, although running interference for Reinsdorf and son might be worth approximately half that. I guess if Brooks Boyer can proudly take his money, TLR, Grifol, so can Getzie.

No way in hell. Why do you think he has been hiding from the media for almost a year?

9/2 GT - Sox vs. Orioles 2:05 CT
Basically almost 1/2 the playoff spots would be decided by the Sox if they did somehow manage to finish 31-131. Lovable Losers? Can't even manage to steal Cubs' identity there.

9/2 GT - Sox vs. Orioles 2:05 CT
They've spent more than their four Central Division rivals since 2012. It's HOW the money is spent that is precisely the problem here.

9/2 GT - Sox vs. Orioles 2:05 CT
But the sensationalist gossipy behind the scenes speculation is what sells now....not solid objective journalism. Exposing the sordid underbelly of the organization...stories like Kopech Anderson Gio's "betrayal" Moncada Burger's comeback Liam's cancer fight etc.

9/2 GT - Sox vs. Orioles 2:05 CT
He's looking better than Getz right now for sure, in comparison. Some of the DDL moves last year were solid like Quero and the instinct to remove Anderson from the equation...albeit way too late to save a sinking ship.

Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
30. White Sox (previously: 30) Season high: 28 | Season low: 30 We all figured the White Sox would be worse after the All-Star break and especially after the Trade Deadline, considering how bad they were before they sent off their useful pieces. But 4-36 after the All-Star break? 4-36? They now have three different 10-game losing streaks this year, which is almost impressive. mlb.com
