I was never a huge Monty Python fan but I have respect for all the old classics.  I was more of a Mel Brooks fan -- Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, History of the World, Spaceballs, etc.

Mel Brooks is the best, but Python is in the team photo.

Ya know what, I am going to watch them all in their entirety because of your post.  I never really sat down and watched them in detail.  I was usually watching them while doing something else.

We actually saw Spamalot on Broadway in its last week.  They are talking about going on your soon, and I will be there.

One thing that always stuck out to me about Python is that all of their sketches have one ridiculous or outlandish premise, and all of the decisions and actions are 100% logical once you accept that premise.

I feel like that is a perfect metaphor for Sox fandom.

Crochet has gotten worse each start pretty much. Already losing velocity, becoming less effective each start. 
 

Dude I don’t even use my little league pitchers as irresponsible as the White Sox are with their million dollar asset. And I’m a 39 year old dad trying to win a spring season trophy.

Do you teach your kids to play fearless, aggressive, selfless, and technically sound (F.A.S.T.)?

Dude these kids are 11-13 you would be amazed at how many still don’t know how to do things

Nothing like coming in hot on an old thread bump.  

I mean the guy just torched the Yankees and threw 120 pitches and the Sox were apparently stupid for even trying him as a starter. Amusingly, it's a similar cast of voices in the 10 concurrent threads whining about the Sox. I was looking at old threads about Crochet in light of his awesome postseason start and the comments in them were genuinely baffling...although not necessarily surprising. People just like to whine.

Probably something to do with having the 5th worst record in baseball from 2011-2025 (15 seasons)...goes down even more if you take out 2012.

1. Dodgers (1392-939)

2. Cardinals

3. Braves

4. Rays

5. Brewers

10. Cubs (1182-1150)

 

22. Reds

23. Pirates

24. Twins

25. Royals

26. White Sox (1029-1302) 71-91 average

27. Marlins

28. Rockies

If you go back to 2001-2025, Royals Rockies Pirates Orioles Marlins Tigers Reds White Sox are the worst.

Precisely, people make emotion-fueled arguments that tend to defy reason and sound judgement. Wouldn't trust the ability to make a reasonable evaluation about the sport. Find it curious as to why people are so interested in ragebaiting themselves. I'm not sure if that was the point you were trying to make.
