When is the next .500 season?

[Texsox]

Here we go again . . .

One year after JR has left the scene.

With as weak as the division is and will likely continue to be, it wouldn't be impossible for most any franchise in this case to get to .500

But looking at our track record I'm thinking 2028. We will be running out a bunch of AAA and AAAA guys for the next couple of years plus a few MLB guys declining right before our eyes.

Not in the near future. Perhaps never.

I don’t think they are planning on returning to an unbalanced schedule soon.  Maybe I’m mistaken.

Does that poll question apply to everyone in the Central or just the White Sox??

My bad. You are correct.

I'd have to be a little lucky to see it. I'm already 61.

I’ll be 78 soon, how do you think I feel.

Well I seriously hope you and all other older long time loyal Sox fans remain very healthy, so we can all outlive the POS loser owner. Then hopefully we can get a new owner and hopefully all of us have one more 2005 season.

Yea, that's why this cluster**** has affected me so hard . I was hoping for one more big post-season run . now, thanks to the way this organization is run, i'm **** out of luck . thanks for nothing Reinsdorf.

I picked 2028, with the hope of anew owner and a Hahn firing by 2025 or 2026. Will take 2-3 years, though their crop of prospects and the pathetic four division clubs might result in a low eighties win total in 2026 or 2027 with no changes which sadly may happen.

82 win + seasons under Rick Hahn: 1

At least Minnesota tried the past few years, signed a high priced free agent like Correa twice. Cleveland locked in Jose Ramirez.

The Sox’ attempt to counter were Grandal, Keuchel, Lynn and Benintendi, all purchased at the last remaining Goldblatt’s in the city.

And Gimenez Straw Clase...Foolishly signed Bell for $33 milion/2 years.

Love the Goldblatt's reference.
