This team will not win 40 games this season. 

Vargas: 23-202 as a White Sox.  That pencils out to .114.  No words.  

Miguel Vargas doesn’t look much better than last year. Not sure he’s a long term piece.

When the Sox hired Tony, I spent a lot of time talking about him losing the team and players, but even I didn't expect literally everyone of substance to simultaneously forget how to play baseball.  

I guess the only hope is to purge all players from that era.  Vaughn and Robert are the only 2 left.

Off to watch Southside Behavior’s video on Twitter.  Always the highlight of the Sox games.

They'll keep him so Getz doesn't look bad at the worst trade he's made so far.

He’ll eventually join the growing list of Getz acquisitions that gets DFA’ed but stays in the organization because no team claims him.

Vargas would need to get 20 consecutive hits to get his career average with the Sox to .200.

I really hoped Robert Jr. would do better this year.  A single would have tied the game.  I'm still hopeful, but I read a good quote the other day:

"Hope breeds eternal misery."

Another day and yet another game where they score three runs or less.

Come on man. At least they didn’t get shut out. “We should be happy” - Jerry probably

The best average among the top four hitters in the lineup tonight was .143

All you can do is laugh.

13 times in 17 games the Sox have scored three runs or less.

Imagine telling a Sox fan in 2021 that a month into 2025, Luis Robert would have a 440 OPS and 2 HR in his last 240 PA, Andrew Vaughn would have negative career WAR and the Sox, by the way, are coming off the worst season of all time.

The last few years has been a worst case scenario outcome

He will be DFA after the season

What a smash by Robert.

Give him the greenie coffee going forward. Dude doesn't even care enough to juice.

This team is one fire: through 17 games last year we are 2-15 -- this year we literally have 100% more wins at 4-13.

Suck it Getz haters.

Getz has to be in the early lead for GM of the year.  Already at double the number of wins after the same number of games played last season!  What a stud!

Not as bad as we thought. Worse.

But but but...the Rockies are 3-15, and we basically have the same record as the Braves.

 

27-135 pace for Colorado, woo-hoo, wouldn't that be something if even THAT White Sox record lasted only one season?

How about that?  (Must be done in Mel Allen's This Week in Baseball voice over.)

 

 

I looked at last night's game against the A's. The Sox's first 5 hitters in the lineup had one hitting .200 and the other 4 hitting below .150.  That leads me to believe we are going to struggle to score runs in that game.

After all the changes and trades we made, you would think that a couple of starters would be off to good starts? This is the A's we are competing with.

You’re assuming this organization is any good at acquiring big league level players 

That clip of Bill Burr using Billy Corgan's cub fandom as a round about way of calling him a c*** to his face was a glorious moment in these dark times
