The NFL game 16 mentality doesn't work in baseball when there is potential to facing that same opponent in the playoffs. You make a statement. Gain momentum.

I don't know what competitive means these days. Under Reinsdorf that means never 1st place and no October. This is not a predictable sport. Remember Hahn's wait for the parade? Look what happen to the previous core. No one saw that coming. It would be great to have a farm system with players who are good enough to play for other teams but are still there (Dodgers) or the Brewers that have this revolving door.

At least they didn't wait for their final game.

every year someone will say they could win the West. Just another example of losing is a habit.

He'll be traded to fill another deficiency created by this organization. That's just how it goes around here.

I got involved in a discussion during the Fall League on which owner was the worst in baseball. A's or Sox. Hard to imagine that so many HoF players started out in the organization. I'm not sure we can even come close to their misery.

that's often an issue in modern MLB baseball too many throwers but so few pitchers

wasn't a good farm director............and still not a decent farm.........one can spout the ranking but they are not accurate The reality is Getz is not good but got lucky. Didn't he also start out in a habitual losing organization? Hopefully he's gotten over his Royal envy.

ONLY IF YOUR FANS ARE CONDITIONED TO LOSING

OH SO THEY'RE THE ONES WHO GAVE UP 11

I don't think the Red Sox are going to lie down when they play them.

bothers me no one drove him in

A bonus of having better farm systems.

We forget this is his 2nd year and makes mistakes like a young manager.

Yet so many are deluded. This success was mostly down with outside talent. Sometime the next season doesn't work as well and then go back to rebuilding the rebuild of the rebuild. That's what poor organizations do. Short spurts of success. Sure people can talk about the big spending teams but many of their better players were home grown. They don't fall apart due to injuries. Too many bad owners in this game, way too many. Winning is a habit and so is losing. I doubt this team will ever have sustained success in my lifetime. A change in ownership probably doesn't keep Getz. People don't get promoted despite being inadequate in the previous job in the world of sports. This is the White Sox............so surreal.
