Going Full White Sox - The 2024 Chicago White Sox, a historic tale of futility (35-115 record as of Sept 15th)
- Thread starter Blackhawkswincup
- Start date
This was after Benintendi had a light collision with Robert in center (the ball was caught) and Lee got picked off 1st. You could make a movie in the mold of Major League.. No happy ending though.

Only 5 teams have lost a series to Sox this year
Tampa Bay Rays, April 26th-April 28th (Sox took all 3 games)
St Louis Cardinals, May 3rd-May 5th (Sox took 2 of 3)
Cleveland Guardians, May 9th-May 12th (Sox took 3 of 4)
Washington Nationals, May 14th-May 15 (Sox took 2 of 3)
Colorado Rockies, June 28th-June 30th (Sox took 2 of 3)
That Rockies series is last time Sox won back to back games

Been watching big 4 sports since I was a kid in the 90's. This is the very worst single season team I have ever seen. Yes there's been winless NFL teams, but that's a 16 (now 17) game season as oppose to 162, and the White Sox have a 21 game losing streak this season. Heck, right now their current 12 game losing streak is only their 3rd longest behind their ones of 21 and 14 games.

just imagine if these cheap scumbags like reinsdorf or fisher tried running a franchise like the yankees or sox this way. the league would force them to sell instantly. but if its not one of MLB's golden franchises, who gives a shit right?
what amazes me the most about this sox team is how their FO wasn't able to get a single decent prospect in return at the deadline. its almost as if reinsdorf purposely made getz the GM because he knew he'd be terrible at it. wouldn't surprise me, considering this is the same guy who claimed its better to finish in second every year to keep the fans hopes alive
MLB will continue to be a failed product for as long as they don't do anything about these piece of shit owners who purposely run their teams into the ground

Reinsdorf and his late partner Eddie Einhorn bought the team in 1981 and they made some marketing blunders,
Lowballing a contract extension to their play-by-play announcer in 1982 convinced the Cubs would not hire him was a disaster.
Fast-forward to today, when JR decided he wanted to start the Chicago Sports Network and eliminate NBC Sports Chicago. Interestingly, the Blackhawks stayed with JR and did not move to the Cubs channel.

I’ll predict two more wins and a 33-129 record, although it would be fun if they lost out and finished exactly 100 games below .500.

2011-12 Charlotte Bobcats have to be up there as well, though lockout shortened season for the NBA that year.

That 92-93 Dallas Mavs team was pretty bad, starting the year 4-57 before catching fire to finish the year at 11-71

there have been some real bad NHL teams throughout the years. 75 caps finished 8-67-5 and had a record bad goal differential of -265. 93 sharks were 11-71-2 and sens finished 10-70-4 with a road record of 1-41 that same season. worth noting that caps and sens were expansion teams and sharks were in their second season
that's why i think this sox team's awfulness is far more impressive than those NHL teams i listed. to not win 40 games over the course of a 162 game season is remarkable
The absolute worst thing about this is there's legitimately no way out for the Sox.
They won't get a high pick this year because of MLB's frankly stupid changes to the draft order/system, they have a couple of higher tier prospects in Colson Montgomery and Noah Schultz, but those two guys alone aren't saying this trash fire. Not like it matters because this team has whfifed on pretty much every prospect/trade in the last half decade. They won't sign anyone worth a damn to help supplement said prospects either. All the while being run by a revolving door of idiots, yes men or a combination of both.
They had the chance to sell high on Luis Robert in the offseason coming off an all-star season last year. They chose not to, and now he's a trash can. They'll probably screw up trading Garrett Crochet in the offseason too.
Sox fans deserve better. Hopefully the Bears are good this year because those fans don't deserve a double feature of having to watch this garbage then having to sit through the Bulls also being ran like garbage because of Reinsdorf.

I googled Best Prospect Pools MLB and no one from USA Today to MLB.com to some random publication has the White Sox pool higher than 18.
That doesn't seem too promising for such a historically bad team. On another note Bleacher Report ranks them 7, so, I don't know. Still seems low

As a Marlins fan who hasn't been following that closely because of my focus on the Florida Panthers. It's hard to believe a team is 20 games worse than the Marlins. The Marlins suck really bad. And we've had seasons like this before. But the White Sox are on a different level. I can't imagine what their fans are going through. And I've seen a lot of bad seasons in my time too.

Looking over the standings and no other team is even close to that putrid
33 wins is pathetic and the next closest team loss wise has about 50 wins lol
