By the Numbers 7/30...


Recommended Posts

With the latest loss the White Sox have guaranteed themselves another losing season.

Since the start of the 2007 season they have one of the worst records in Major League Baseball. Period. Full stop.

The numbers don’t lie:

12; losing seasons: (2007, 09, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24)

5; winning seasons: (2008, 10, 12, 20, 21) *2020 season was only 60 games long

1; season at .500 (2022)

3; playoff appearances (2008, 2020, 2021)

3; 1st round playoff losses

Overall playoff record 2007-2024: 3-8

Now compare that to the time period from 1981-2006 (1981 being the first season Einhorn/Reinsdorf owned the team)

16; winning seasons: (1981, 82, 83, 85, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 96, 2000, 01, 03, 04, 05, 06)

9; losing seasons (1984, 86, 87, 88, 89, 95, 97, 98, 99)

1; season at .500 (2002)

4; playoff appearances (1983, 1993, 2000, 2005)

A World Series championship (2005)

Overall playoff record 1981-2006: 14-11

Obviously something dramatic happened starting in 2007 to alter the course of this team and it has only gotten worse and worse over time.

If you look at the Sox from 1990 - 2006, the team had some great and talented players. They should have won more than one World Series. But since 2007, they have not been able to acquire or develop solid major league talent. Still can't. They will celebrate 2025, the 20th anniversary of the only World Series win in over 100 years by losing 100 games. Why this has happened is anyone's guess.
