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.

At least three of those teams are significantly better. i don’t think they win 20 games against the Central. Close to 20.

It’s a balanced schedule now as opposed to pre-2023. They could easily lose that many games.

Nah. I think Cease was overrated and was a one year wonder. He regressed to his mean this past season. I think that’s who he is. IMHO.

Reinsdorf doesn’t get credit for offering Machado $100 million when there were poison pills in there and he had no intention of ever paying that money. It’s as credible as any one of us offering Machado $100 million. Same for Wheeler. It’s easy to offer something that won’t be accepted.

Disagree. I’d rather see a game in which the team I root for loses while fighting hard rather than seeing a team go through the motions. Its night and day. if you’re on the team a loss is a loss. If you’re a consumer that’s not quite the case.

Does one earn extra points for remaining a fan of a team when they're winning? If one isn't getting enjoyment out of a sports team they support for entertainment should one be shamed for looking elsewhere?

Forgive me I’m a bit out of the loop … is that the going rate for top relievers these days or is this a massive outlier? Seems a lot for a reliever, even a good one.
