That is one of the best explanations.

Me too. They destroyed their own site.

I did not remember having any interaction with this gentleman. I was just thinking of one of the funniest posts I have read on these pages (two years ago). I remembered the gist of the post and just looked it up and it so happened that it was Heads that had written that hilarious post. RIP.

New ownership is not highly likely to change the perception of the organization for quite some time if ever.

There will be no modern day Carlton Fisks, Greg Luzinskis, Ron LeFlores, Tom Seavers coming to the White Sox.

Why don't you understand that he does not take ownership of this franchise until at least 2029?

... and are strangely silent after five losses in a row.

You're not reading the responses here, are you? Everyone is generally correct. No 50 win team is paying $300 million to anyone (Especially a team that has never given out a $100 million contract). This team is not good and if you put stock in their prospects why give them up for a guy who would get you from 50 to 53 wins?

Even if you gave Getz the benefit of the doubt, contending before then would require Cleveland, Detroit, and Minnesota to all forget what they generally do pretty well. All these three are not going to collapse. They have good organizations, something you would think Chicago would have after 45 years of uninterrupted ownership.

You know the sports business is different now than it was 50 years ago, don't you?

And still finished in fifth place.

He’s not the new owner until at least 2029. That doesn’t mean he will be a great owner once he does take control. There are plenty of bad owners.

I’m not sure if we are being trolled. I hope that’s the case.

Who was in charge of player development while all these draft picks were failing? They should be fired and never work in baseball ever again!

Uh, ok. It is a statement of fact that they are better this year. They were 30th best team last year. This year they are 29th. They are in fact better than last year. Other fans are on board, too. A 5 percent increase in attendance over this point last year. We are watching a sleeping giant.

Will they have a new GM before 2027?

Nah, it happened before that, when they failed to/didn’t intend to sign Harper. LaRussa was just the undertaker putting the nails in the coffin.

They are even closer to last year than we thought.

No. At least someone could tell their sons some day, “Son I witnessed the worst team of all time up close. They were terrible but they had some sort of charm blah blah blah.” Sox can’t even lose historically right. The one thing they had is going to be obliterated this season.

Yeah, they’re 2-14 against AL Central. There’s not much lower you can go when you’re already at the bottom of the barrel. Maybe they get blown out more.

The Sox won’t even get to retain the worst team label that could somehow be embraced. The Rockies are going to smash their record this season.

Yet the Sox still have not cracked that $100 million force field and probably won’t anytime soon.

The Harper debacle was the end of this franchise as even pretending to be a serious franchise.

Getz just has that stupid face that invites memes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else like it.
