How awesome would it be for the Brewers to win the division at the last game of the season and the Cubs to lose the wild card game.

Here's the bottom line. None of us have gone through this before, or, if you were around in the early 90s, it's been a long time. From everything I am hearing from the professionals, this shit takes TIME. It is ALL a waiting game. None of us know how it's going to pan out, which players will succeed and which ones won't. Sure, as fans, we want to see better product on the field, and seeing multiple losing seasons in a row sucks. Guess what, WE DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW THIS TEAM. WE DON'T DESERVE ANYTHING. We CHOOSE to buy into the White Sox product. We CHOOSE to watch this shit day in and day out. We don't have to. Anyone with brains knows that this rebuilding thing is going to take 4-5 years before we see them at least start to contend, especially with the injuries in 2018. We can b**** about what happened with the moves made back in 2007, or 2009, or 2010, or 2011, or 2013, or 14, or 15, or 16. But guess what, none of it matters. We are where we are now, we are going for SUCK another year, probably hovering around .500 in 2020, and then hopefully win the division in 2021. So until then, quit b****ing about it. But who the hell knows? We might catch lightning in a bottle next year! Now, it would be foolish to hang your hat on that, but it could happen. We also might not win anything until 2025. Get excited about the players in the minors. They raked this year. People like Rutherford and Basabe showed real promise. And not to mention Cease and Eloy. Sure, there were a few setbacks, like with Hansen, but there is so much more the be excited about.

Yup...

So far...

Yeah, getting sick of these umpires and their personal strikezones.

Man I long for the seasons where we can be excited about September/October baseball again. Playing the Indians and Cubs, 2 teams with a good chance to make it to the Series, over a span of a few weeks doesn't help any...

So would the arm slot just be the aspect of it that hurts the arm?

I have a hunch the Sox will wait to call up Jimenez until like mid-late May so it doesn't look like they kept him down for service time matters.

I honestly think Davidson and Yolmer will split time at 3rd to stary with Davidson getting playing time at DH vs Lefties.

Moncada looks like s having more fun on the field... On the other hand, Gio can't be hanging pitches.

Lopez is gonna be right up there with Rodon next year.

Our starters are so good, but our bullpen sucks ass

DAMNIT Engel almost blew it wide open

Hell yes

Ughhhhhhh no control

Murphy/Lopez former teammates

That's astounding. Ironically, the 2 players we have are our catchers lol.

Left? That's weird, as he is a right handed thrower.

Here's to hoping and praying for a very successful recovery and comeback. Hopefully he can still have a very successful career and be the ace of this team.

I'm very curious, the vast majority of that list are from warm-weather climates, whether it be from Southern states or other countries...could it be because they are able to play baseball year round I wonder?

Especially after Cease was the pipeline pitcher of the year...

Draft 4th

About to play 3 against CLE and 3 against Cubs...0-6? I mean they barely beat Baltimore 2 out of 3

Seems like Engel has been a serviceable hitter the last month or so
