Interested to see how many have checked out on games but still following team. I am still watching QUintana games and hope he ends up in top 5 of cy young.

 

Question for those still watching: what are you looking for?

 

Question for all: Can the last week change your impression of the season? I can't help but feel that despite the failures of this season, I'd take it over last any day of the week. But would losing out and having a worse record change that?

No.

 

Yeah, I have to say though, the idea that we could end up with a worse record than last year is kind of astonishing to me. Last year was the least fun I've ever had watching baseball.

I have always followed the team and either listened on the radio or watched the games on TV regardless of their position in the standings.

I havent watched a game in over a month.

 

I dont even check the box score either. I do see updates on facebook from time to time that give me a little bit of info. ;) Which shows that I barely even read threads in PHT. lol

Ha, yeah the trib twitter feed gets up on the sox every once in a while and I remember last week going "we lost six in a row again?"

Kept up my usual trajectory.

 

April - super hyped, live and die with every game

May - still hyped (this is new territory in the last 4 years)

June - paying attention, but starting to see who they really are

July - paying less attention

August - occasionally look up highlights, keep up with key players

Sept - Don't care at all, despise the franchise and promise I'll stop supporting them

 

April 2017 - spend $400 on opening day tickets, rinse repeat.

I watch every single game religiously.

I went to the Braves game right before the All-Star Break, and have watched about 5 minutes of Sox baseball since then. I get Yahoo Sports score alerts and follow the beat writers on Twitter, so I still kind of know what's going on sometimes.

Haven't watched a game since getting back from vacation. I'll check scores, stat lines, and maybe a highlight once in awhile, but I see no reason to give this team valuable hours of my day at this point in the season.

When they aren't going anywhere, I hit the doldrums in August, but once September hits, I get a second wind. No baseball for 6 months gets me excited to watch meaningless for the White Sox games.

Me too. The idea of having no White Sox baseball to watch until March, motivates me to watch more baseball in September, even if the team is bad. I'm even planning to go to games this week on Thursday and Saturday. My idea is to buy cheap tickets, and to sit wherever I want in the lower deck.

 

Also, the end of the season is a chance to watch some prospects who get called up, to find out what they are capable of doing.

I agree. Not watching for 6 cold months gets me up to watch as many as I can.

I'm watching some, but still keeping them on the radio whenever I can. There are always a few cold and dark days scattered throughout the winter where I realize that I miss and would like nothing more than to watch an inning or two of KC or Cleveland shellacking Sox pitching, and that it will be months before I can.

I usually go to about 15 games a year scattered throughout the season. This year, I've been to six. Last game was the game we hit 7 homers and lost (mid-end of June). May take in one more this week for the reason you gave. I'll miss the option of being able to go.

Pretty close to my trajectory except I haven't gone to a game in two years now, so I stopped the money spending part. Been putting the time in on the golf course instead and am down to a single digit handicap....so thank you for that White Sox. If you anymore resembled a competent franchise I would probably still be about a 13.

I haven't watched since June but still follow how they're doing and watch highlights.

I watch as many games as I can. What is life without White Sox baseball?

Lol I was going to say something similar. Without watching games the past 4 years, I'd have time for other important s*** lol

I still like the random weeknight and listening while doing yardwork. August on challenging seasons I usually like because you give up a bit and are just listening to baseball being played.
