Chuck and Ozzie’s post-game basically consists of them laughing at how bad this team is.

Took a minute to understand what Ozzie was trying to say, but he finally explained. Being 70 under .500 is basically like going winless for 2 straight months. Yikes.

I don't blame them. I'm in the same category. As opposed to getting angry, increasing blood pressure and grey hair?

I swear Ozzie just said that if someone dropped the soap in the locker room, that he would be all over them.

Needless to say, neither Chuck nor Podsednik corrected him on what that saying actually means…

It is now 25 times.

25 times the Sox took a lead going into the 7th inning or later...and lost the game.

I wish I had the ability to check if this is some kind of franchise record, but even if it isn't this is absolutely mind boggling.

I'm sure Jay Cuda could look it up

I laughed when Chuck and Ozzie said that Getz needs to improve the bullpen.

Yeah, and don’t forget about fixing the worst lineup in baseball along with the worst defense in baseball.

And I’m sure the starting staff without Crochet will be amazing

There really is no light at the end of the tunnel.  The entire organization has maybe 5 MLB level players.

I’m willing to bet that probably half of the AAA teams would have winning records against the White Sox.

Let's just assume everything they do is a franchise record. 

We just need a could guys to come back from injuries plus starter that can play an entire season. That will get us to 50 wins.

You have to try to lose this much in Major League Baseball.  How anyone thinks Getz shouldn’t be fired amazes me.  

I'm a general, universal, every franchise in baseball conversation. How bad of a mess does a GM have to inherit until he deserves a couple seasons to fix it?

What has he done his year on the job, a year, according to the guy who hired him, couldn't be wasted, says to you he is the right guy for the job? It's like Pedro, I wouldn't expect the White Sox to be in contention no matter who JR hired last year, but it's obvious this guy was a mistake. If time is truly of the essence, he needs to go or you will be wasting several more years until enough is enough.

Bold of you to assume that isn't exactly what Ozzie meant.

So they have yet to win a game when trailing after 6 innings (0-76) and then blew 25 games in which they were winning after 6 innings.  Pretty much sums it up.

But I was told Chris Getz built a really good bullpen? Lol.

Combination of an all time terrible bullpen and easily the worst offense in baseball.  If they get down they have no chance of coming back and because the offense is so bad, they never have comfortable leads for the terrible bullpen and if the bullpen does blow a game, coming back is impossible.

I think you, much like the Sox, dropped the ball by  not mentioning MLBs worse defense as well.

They accidentally assembled the worst team in baseball in just about every aspect. Which is simply amazing...
