Going 31-131 would be a national news story. You’d see it covered by everyone in media. That’s why I said it would be an embarrassment for not just Reinsdorf but the MLB as a whole. 

I doubt JR would be embarrassed at all again for the principle reason that he's making $$$$$.  He has shown over the years he doesn't let what the media think or what the fan base think or what agents think impact or affect him in any way.

When you are a billionaire you can be that way.

From this article:

”Coming off an 0-10 homestand, Chicago dropped to 31-108, and it is on its third-longest skid this season…”

Its third longest skid of the season at 11.  That’s insane.  What a crazy line to have to write.

Wait, Getz is getting paid?  This isn’t Make-A-Wish?

Actually his promotion would make a lot more sense in this scenario.

Fletcher and his limited power in a corner outfield is just a terrible decision.

Well it's better than no bat AND no glove like usual in RF.

If you dont watch any games, go away.

No, tell the team to go away.

Kuhl is not so cool. He was tossing up meatballs.

They mercifully gave Vaughn a day off. Sox led early then Baltimore got mad against the AAA White Sox. Q: Could our triple A team have the same record as the Sox or would it be worse competing against MLB. I dunno. 32 wins ain't many.

11 in a row. After this season no losing streak will ever surprise us.

.224 winning percentage.

Now on pace for a 36-126 record.

Sizemore sounds defeated in his postgame interview.  He is probably regretting taking on this shitshow and eating the record.

Poor Sizemore. I bet he's a decent baseball mind.

Maybe the Bears or Blackhawks will make the playoffs.

Flexen has more innings pitched than Crochet.  137 v 132.

He may be a "decent baseball mind" but so far his record is  worst than Grifol despite playing more home games so far. 

"Insular, sad sack franchises – the Chicago White Sox, Oakland Athletics, Miami Marlins and Colorado Rockies, to name four – belong in a separate category. Those teams barely even bothered to try."--Ken Rosenthal

 

"It’s hard to do what they’re doing. Correct that. What they’re doing was once thought to be impossible. A lot went into this utter ineptitude. Bad trades, bad drafts, bad managing, bad payroll, bad ownership.

Where is chairman Jerry Reinsdorf? What possible excuse can there be for this? How does it feel to have gotten so many people stained with mud?

But this failure should be honored as a symbol of badness, of what can happen when nobody at the top gives a damn. Or, maybe worse, when they do care but are too dumb or arrogant to know they haven’t a clue." -- Rick Telander

Blackhawks aren't making it.

The Hawks are at least in a convincing talent acquisition phase, but they aren't quite there yet.  Still can't quite feel them after everything that happened with the abuse cover ups.

The Bears should be the best team in Chicago right now.

I don't blame you. I tried to find a different hockey team but I like the sport too much and couldn't get emotionally invested in another team. 

 

If the Sox moved I'd probably just quit baseball.

I don’t know man.  I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but…Sosa hitting 3rd?  Like WTF?  I know the roster is bad and he doesn’t have much to work with but, what the hell?

I’d be a Brewers fan. They can cry about injuries just as much as the White Sox, maybe more. They traded a big time pitcher, just like the White Sox. They are going to the playoffs. The White Sox are a national joke.

Plus they didn't resign their manager.

You left out this quote.

Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet is very good, but he plays a few innings every now and then and swiftly gets yanked, saving his trade value. It’s always about the future, you know.
