If the Sox go the entire season without winning a series, they will not make the playoffs.

Bold strategy Cotton, let see if it works.

You can take that one to the bank.

Check my math on this, but if don't win any series', they will not even finish at .500.

Pretty pitiful start to the season. Very very frustrating.

Bolder than this, Rick Hahn still keeps his job with that season outcome you presented.

But it's only April!.......I kid I kid.....

So far your spot on, sad to say

what a pathetic s%*# show of a team this is

How about they do not get swept in any series this season but still play .400 baseball?  We were in every series, this team just needs a little tweaking.

There were a number of national baseball people who said/predicted this was a real possibility in large part because of what Hahn did not do this off season. "Window of contention?" ?

For sh*ts & giggles I decided to check the record based on the Sox not winning a single series. Keep mind there are two series of only 2 games each vs. the Cubs, 7 series of 4 games and the remaining series are all 3 games. For the two Cub series, I had them splitting 1-1 on each series and for the seven 4 game series, I had the Sox also splitting 2-2. Finally for the remaining 3 game series which are the majority left, I have the Sox going 1-2 in each series.

Record now - 7-12

1st half - 26-44

2nd half - 27 46

Final 2023 record - 60-102

Not a prediction, just situational observation. They are playing at a .368 pace now, so I guess the .400 would be a little generous.

After the next Twins series

Min 19-13 -
Sox 11-21 8

Don’t worry boys, it’s still early……oh that was the 2022 Whitesox motto…..thought that was changing in 2023 with the same group of players ??

Yeah, but with Hahn doing that tweaking it would only get worse not better.

Blimey those stats make the TLR era look like a golden age!

Rick Hahn won't make it past June 1st before being "reassigned within the organization"...

Finishing with 100+ losses SHOULD get just about everyone fired...but it won't.

It absolutely would with any of the other 29 owners. Yet if the Sox finish with 100 losses and as much a Reinsdorf does give a sh*t, at least the embarrassment and harsh criticism from the fans and media that Hahn will feel, will be worth it, even as you said, nothing will probably change. 

We’ve become the Cubs… maybe next year!

I would be shocked if that happened.
