Health was just murder. Just insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means we could still be January 2028 before the next significant Sox FA deal. That's a full 2 1/2 years away. Even the most optimistic fans would agree that five plus years is an incredible amount of time for a dormant franchise to be sleeping on their fanbase after everything totally falling apart in 2022-2023. I think you meant next significant Sox DFA deal 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydanks Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 (edited) I've spent nine minutes of research about the Rockies and it seems like their owner is just a happy go lucky idiot that doesn't know what to do but is hands on and likes his players. That's a pretty sick way to be the worst owner ever he probably is like doing other cool s%*#. not in like a bad way necessarily just incompetent he's more of a "i'm taking rafael devers on a hang gliding flight with ryan mcmahon" and "if he doesn't enjoy it i don't know what to do" type owners than the nefarious money dude Edited May 30 by bobbydanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe over the last 1.35 calendar years (so start of last year until know) the AL Central has the best out of division record in MLB, which is absolutely incredible stat given it includes our putrid ass. The Tribe, Twinkies, Royals and Tigers have mauled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone really think the Tigers are the best team in baseball since last July/August? Stats are fun.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydanks Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) the perverse part of me wants to dismantle a couple of secondary prospects and grab all of these rockies. but i've always prefered mountains over these flat earth hitting fucks. not sure if we're the team to elevate anyone but as long as the elevator isn't under repair like the rest of the team...

Our GM needs to be fired. What a horrible product. No. At least someone could tell their sons some day, “Son I witnessed the worst team of all time up close. They were terrible but they had some sort of charm blah blah blah.” Sox can’t even lose historically right. The one thing they had is going to be obliterated this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is still going to be a long miserable season with a lot of bad baseball. I totally understand how there are some more enjoyable things about it, but we don't need to pretend that this team has taken some massive leap from 2024. They haven't. They are even closer to last year than we thought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Season not even half over so I hate to jinx things but in this day and age I never thought I would see a team as bad as the 2024 White Sox but here we are a year later and the Rockies are reaching new levels of suckage.

Some are so blinded by their own hate that they are cheating themselves out of enjoying the games. And so blinded by hatred that they’re happy their team has the all-time loss record just to stick to the owner. And are disappointed that that record might fall this year. Pathetic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is JR likely to spend more, the same or less money on payroll next off season if the Sox retain the record for most losses in a season? Serious question.

Because White Sox fans generally want to have a better...not worse, team to watch in the near-distant future. Embarrassment on a national basis is the best way to get there...compared to your run of the mill 88-99 loss seasons that fly under the radar like the Pirates in Pittsburgh.
