April 9, 20241 yr By the Sox: 10 games: 0-10 (1968) 15 games: 3-12 (3X - last in 1968) 20 games: 4-16 (2X - last in 1948) 25 games: 5-20 (2X - last in 1950) 30 games: 7-23 (1948) All seem to be within reach.
April 9, 20241 yr In 1968. the Sox didn't score more than 4 in the first 10 games. Basically, they scored 1 or none. They lost 95 that season and the franchise nearly fell apart.

April 9, 20241 yr I'm not gonna lie, I'd love to see a 1-20 start by this team. I really want to see how K-Mart Mr. Clean and Getz answer to something that catastrophic.

April 9, 20241 yr We're all going to feel pretty silly when Pedro cooks up a new acronym and lights a fire under this team.
April 9, 20241 yr I wonder if this keeps up, will Hahn come back. His teams were always better than this

Kenny didn't give a s%*# about developing talent, but he at least kept the team interesting and competitive. Hahn tanked for 4 years just for 2 playoff appearances.

And I don’t think they make the playoffs in 2020 if it’s a real season considering their pitching was toast after 60 games and they had no depth.

You’re right. No way that team would’ve lasted a normal 162 game season. They were down to 3 starters by the playoffs — Giolito, Keuchel, and Dunning.
April 9, 20241 yr I was in my car and turned Sirius to the game. The Guardians announcer is from Milwaukee and he was talking about the Sox start in 1968, the 0-10. It was very interesting (score was 4-0 and he had to kill time I guess knowing Sox were not gonna score four runs). He pointed out Melton was a rookie. Pete Ward led the team with 15 home runs. Horlen and Peters were on the team. I think he said Peters was 4-13. He said Aparicio was still there and he said Wilber Wood as a reliever went 11-12. The other announcer was shocked the Sox were so bad that year with some decent players. The Sox had three managers in 68 I guess and the announcers joked: "You know you had a bad season (95 losses) when you had three managers." They yukked it up. The announcer pointed out the Sox played games in Milwaukee that season cause Milw. had lost its team and it was a way to draw some fans. He said he got to see Mickey Mantle play against the Sox in Milwaukee. My gawd this Sox team is lousy. Seriously anybody who supports this team by buying tickets is really a loonie bird. Cmon folks, do something this summer with your time. No reason to pay money to this franchise. They truly have a responsibility to field a competitive club and White Sox management has refused to do that. I'd be all for the league canceling all our games for a year or two. Or just removing our team completely from MLB. Edited April 9, 20241 yr by greg775

April 9, 20241 yr The last team to score this few runs their first 10 games were the 2004 Montreal Expos. They turned it around and only lost 95 that year.

Your last 2 sentences will never happen, I think you were just joking but the franchise is at a new low and I have no idea how they rectify all that is wrong, such huge mistakes in the hiring of Grifol and Getz, firing those 2 and bringing in the best people they could find from other organizations would be a start but only if Reinsdork becomes a hands off owner.
