Look at Ray Ray Run Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 5 hours ago, Sox guy said: I do wanna admit those things, r/whitesox is a good sub, and the Sox do have potential for greatness this decade. There's a guy named sandman in the reddit sub who's a wealth of info, plus each game thread automatically posts game highlights. as far as the Palehose go, once all our prospects develop, watch out. So, I'll stick to my prediction that we will be Team of the Decade, like Giants were for 2010s, or NYY for 2000s and 90s. See you here in 2029 to see if I was right. *hits bookmark* The White Sox are 339-453 this decade so far and are 2-5 in the playoffs. The Dodgers are 511-282 this decade so far and have won two World Series and reached 3 NLCS'. Just wanted to throw those out there for fun.

Yeah, I didn't think a lot of people were calling the Pirates the team of the decade though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why the Dodgers are at just 2-1 to win that title, while we are 50-1. So what, didn't we start 2005 at like 19-1 to win it all. The cubs had better odds than us at the start. The Sox will shock the world. I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falstaff Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 The Harlem Globetrotters have lost 345 games in their history, according to the Harlem Globetrotters. However, they have also achieved a remarkable 27,000 wins, giving them the best winning percentage (.987) in professional sports history, according to the Harlem Globetrotters. This includes a period where they had a winning streak of 24 years and 8,829 games, which was broken in 1995. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxBlanco Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Update: At the start of the year, I told myself the Sox need to win 5 out of every 16 games to get to 50 wins (and then they’d still have two games to spare). So I will break the season into ten different 16-game chunks. I’ll update every time we finish another 16 games. Here are the results: 4-12 5-11 5-11 7-9 4-12 7-9 Total: 32-64, on pace for 54 wins.

T R U Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Sox gotta go 18-48 the rest of the way to win the over crowd money. Going to be a real nail biter when they strip this team in the next two weeks and start shutting down pitchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Dreamin Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 The 2025 Chicago White Sox match last year's 41 win total on August 1. At this time last year, they had 27 wins on the season, and were still in the midst of a 21-game loss streak. They broke the streak with a meager 4-10 stretch before kicking off another 14-game loss streak later in August. And somehow even that team managed to cobble together 14 wins from the start of August through the end of the season. Matching that production from here out, gruesome streaks included, would result in ~55 wins this year. Exceeding it even modestly, such as by going a conservative 5-9 instead of 0-14 in late August/early September gives them a solid shot at dodging 100 losses. If you’re the type to still feel compelled to chime in “no better than last year!” type comments after routine losses to more talented rosters, I suspect that you simply do not recall just how bad last year was. The Sox longest loss streak this year is 8 IIRC...last year had TWO 14 game loss streaks in addition to the 21L straddling the break. And acknowledging their improvement is not shilling for the FO or being in denial about how far there still is to go or whatever. The next ~15 wins are obviously much harder to get, and the ~15 after that harder still. It’s not until we’re matching this season’s eventual win total in early August that things start to get really exciting. But that reality doesn’t make the improvement less real or worth noting, especially given how much of it is driven by the players you hope are on that next team with ~57 wins in August. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, I just expected them to lose every game. That is unbelievable for a major league baseball team. This team since the break has been entertaining and it is the young guys who are providing the offense. It's getting fun again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
