December 23, 20232 yr CBS Sportsline airing of grievances for the White Sox: Target: The organization as a whole Grievance: Remember when the White Sox traded Chris Sale, Adam Eaton, José Quintana and others and, as a result, had that loaded farm system? All that build was for a Wild Card loss in 2020, a 93-win season in 2021 that ended with a 3-1 ALDS loss and then 81 wins in 2022. Now they are one of the worst teams in baseball and have a long road ahead to turn things around. They haven't won a playoff series since 2005. What a sad state of affairs.

I still contend that something went haywire at mid-season of 2021 under the management of TLR.

December 23, 20232 yr As to the article, the Sox had a very top heavy system after the Sale, Q, Eaton trades and failed to build any sort of depth behind it. Once that singular "wave" graduated, the system was barren and they found themselves back where they had been for the previous 15-20 years. Just not good enough with no means to improve. They half-assed the rebuild and sat on their hands expecting it all to work. Then JR TLR'd the org, and a rebuild set up to fail was completely fucked. Happy Fucking Holidays to you to JR...
December 24, 20232 yr We needed an additional thread for airing grievances? This is like complaining about your hair getting wet after jumping in the pool.

I still never ventured down to the Craft Cave, because I typically go out pre or post, but my first Hop Butcher For The World Beer was in that Revolution corner beer spot that may be called something else. It was a Rye Black IPA and was excellent, and loved the White Sox theme with it. Not my photo but a cool one found on the interwebs. Getting back to the thread theme, this one out of Niles is also a solid option. Also not my photo. Edited December 24, 20232 yr by South Side Hit Men
