Eloy, TA, Moncada…remember when we thought we had the start of an amazing core? Crazy that isn’t possible all 3 of them won’t be able to find a job on a MLB roster next year.
Yes, I recall thinking the rebuild was working, and the Sox would be contenders for a long time. It is amazing what has happened to these players.

I just watched the highlights of the win. Fans booed the Sox off the field after winning. I think that's a little harsh but I understand the sentiment. Still seemed a little weird to boo a victory. I want the team to stay in the 30s for wins but if they must win they must win. It's still our team like it or not.
It is weird to boo a win. But it might be good for the team to realize how angry the fans are. I know it is impossible, but I want the team to win out the schedule and not set a new and dubious record. But the trouble is that lineup is not a major league lineup. Now, that's a reason to boo.

The wrong kind of history. Gee, I am so glad Nicky Lopez is leading off. What a lineup.

Even if the Sox helped to keep Detroit out of the playoffs, it does nothing to redeem this pathetic season.

I just hope the 2005 roster makes JR pay for their appearances. The Sox will be trotting them everywhere to make money next year. I hope the WS champions make sure they are paid correctly for their appearances.
I remember in 2015 for the 10th anniversary, hardly anyone showed up at SoxFest. Ozzie Guillen made sure he wasn't even in the country at the time. But no Konerko, no Buehrle, no AJ.
I have been writing a book on the 2005 team. No one from the team would agree to an interview. Not KW or Hawk either.

It is also a review of truly bad 2024 was and continues to be. Wow, that was bad.

Congrats to JR and Chris Getz for accomplishing something only one other team has been able to accomplish , an expansion team 62 years ago. They did this without even trying to be this horrible. Many others have tried, but failed. I hope they are very proud.
I don't know if they are proud, but they sure are in denial. That's why 2025, the 20th anniversary of the only World Series win in over 100 years, will be more of the same.

I wonder how fans will react when the Sox return for their final three home games.

You just have to embrace it.
I wonder if Jerry embraces it while, at the same time, he embraces the idea of a new stadium.

Call your sons. Call your daughters. Call your friends. Call your neighbors. The 2024 Chicago White Sox are 3 outs a way from being the worst team in modern MLB history.
This is such a weird feeling. Never experienced anything like it in my many years as a fan. It is sad.

Yet here we are. Still paying attention.
Yes, but for me, 2024 was the first time in over 40 years that I didn't attend one White Sox game. And for the past over 60 years, I was always at the two ballparks. But I see no reason to attend a game now. And there are many royal fans like me who are sick of this nonsense. They don't need to win for me to go back. Just show some life, and I see no life in this organization. Denial big time. Life, not so much.

I agree, something is going to happen, JR has been raked over the coals with his old, ancient and cheap way of running the franchise and not just locally, there have been more than few articles nationally. The man is hated and if he has any pride and shame at all why go on, he’s too old for another rebuild, I think he’s selling, I’m sure the tax genius will figure something out.
One would think something dramatic would happen because I can't see how the FO can run out another 100-loss team next season. But we're talking about Jerry Reinsdorf here. His wife wanted him to sell and he ignored her. He wants that new stadium, and he will continue to work for that even as the team loses big time.

The AL record for losses is 119 by the 03 Tigers and 2024 White Sox.
Seeing that they already have tied the American League is jarring. This season will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

If they are going to play our future I want to see some wins and help with their development.
Future? What future? Wins? They had a three-game winning streak. There are no more wins. Development. Now that's a good one.

I half watched this game and Schriffen was on fire tonight as the chooch he is. Pregame he yelled Flexen has his curve all working. He hadn’t throw a pitch yet. Then he said the Sox were playing the Dodgers. And the said the bullpen has become a team strength.
EIther he is just a clueless f***, or thinks his audience is beyond stupid.
To go along with this guy, you have the fan-hating Steve Stone who would rather be somewhere else. It is unbelievable how Sox can't do anything right. Bennitti had his faults but he was never this bad. This situation just symbolizes how horrible this season has been and how there is so little hope for the future. Rebuild? Rebuild? What rebuild?

Schriffen stroking Soroka for throwing harder even though he won’t be on this team next year. Get a clue, jabroni.
Schriffen will never get a clue. He is more reason not to watch the Sox on TV.

Hahn had plenty of time to build a consistent winner. The rebuild began because the team had no direction. He should have been fired long before.

I do love Ozzie that is for sure.
Ozzie is the type of person who wears out his welcome. By 2011, he had done that.
But don't worry. The Sox will get a new stadium. They won't have a team to put in it, but they will have a new stadium. Maybe they will finally re-hire Ozzie, and he can manage a 100-loss team.

If the Sox won 100 games next year, the fans would be in the park
The Sox have won 100 games one time in 125 years. Right now, I'd like to see them get to 50, Regardless, the FO needs to do something to attract fans, not that they care.

If he only wants to win his way, he doesn’t actually want to win that badly.
JR wanted no part of signing Ohtani. So, Dodger fans get to watch the guy smash records, and we get to see the wrong record set. JR refuses to see that he is not doing anything to hold the line on salaries. No, he doesn't want to win that badly.

Don't have access to The Athletic. But I have heard several JR apologists say that he wants to win badly but he wants to do it his way. 2005 is approaching 20 years. Doing things his way hasn't worked too well. You would think you would change something if your team has won three post season games in almost 20 years. When does it occur to someone that things aren't working too well? If it was me, I couldn't sit in the owner's suite and watch this nonsense. The fans won't sit out in the bleachers to watch it.

I have no grudge against Hahn, but I don't feel the need the apologize for anything. He was given enough freedom to do things. He didn't. Right now he looks better by comparison. The franchise is heading south.

JR doesn't want to put money up for players or a new stadium. So, the team can continue to stink, and hopefully the stadium never happens. He shouldn't get this windfall when his team will set the record for the worst record in MLB history. Too bad he won't end up in jail with Trump.

I don't envy Sizemore. What can anyone say about this team other than it is the worst in major league history? Struggled to get a bit hit? They've got about one or two all season.

Don't get your hopes up. The Tigers are not the Angels.
