They are being guided by the hand of God toward ignominy. 31-103. They've got this. This is all I'll ever think of when I hear Travis Jankowski's name. I was there live, and couldn't believe that this actually happened: 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

BBTV Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Lazy POS Trea Turner hands the Braves 2 more unearned runs because he's a lazy POS. Serious question for people that have watched more than just the last two seasons of his career - was he ever actually good at baseball? He might be, and I say this without hyperbole, the worst fielding "good" player I've ever seen in my life. I've seen worse fielders, but not anyone that was actually supposed to be good. He doesn't even try sometimes. He just kinda coasts like "I'm Trea Turner dammit! I can just coast and catch the ball with my eyes closed." I hate him as much as I've hated any athlete since Donovan McNabb. 2 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

The_Admiral Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Sox hit 104, 10-17 from here breaks the record. History beckons. By the way, forgot to mention it with the earlier clip, but the guy they replaced Jason Benetti with is a knob.

Did they forget there's a lottery now and having the worst record doesn't automatically give you the first pick in the draft?

TrueYankee26 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 At least Mets and Tigers would make a WS later in the decade they had their infamous worst seasons in their history (1962 -> 1969 and 2003 -> 2006).. time will tell if the White Sox can do something similar Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueYankee26 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) White Sox tie their franchise record for losses in a season with 106, in AUGUST. That is wild.

The_Admiral Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 108 today. 11 in a row, third losing streak of at least 10. They might not win another game all year. Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 They're 31-108. They need to go 12-11 to avoid the all time loss record of 120. A .223 ball club is gonna play above .500 the rest of the way? lol Yeah right. Doesn't look like they'll get to 40 wins. There's 23 games left and the schedule isn't easy either. 2 left against Baltimore, 3 each against Cleveland, Detroit, Boston, and San Diego all with winning records and playoff hopes to play for. They have 6 games left against the Angels and 3 more against Oakland who aren't good, but both clubs look like the 1976 Reds in comparison to the White Sox. I don't see a path to 9 wins there. Not only are they bad, but they are scientifically bad. If you field a roster of players good enough to reach the professional level of baseball you should accidentally win a third of your games simply on the inherent randomness of baseball and they're approaching the mathematical bottom of how bad a team could possibly be. To do what they've done with all these systems in place, like the draft and Latin America youth academies, free agency, systems designed to prevent a team from being this bad is fascinating. I never thought I'd see a team worse than the 03 Tigers and the White Sox very much are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 If anyone can describe the White Sox in one expression, it's Miguel Vargas immediately after being taken hostage traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people always joke about how Alabama could beat an NFL team, and the reality is that even a college all-star team would get smashed by the worst pro team, but in this case, could a AAA team be competitive against the White Sox? I don't know their roster, but they are obviously not MLB-caliber players, so either "4A" or AAA, so I think it's possible that a AAA team (or maybe a AAA all-star team) could go .500 against them - maybe better.

Typical, every day AAA players can do all the things the typical, every day MLB player can do. The biggest difference between MLB players and AAA players is consistency. To answer your question, yes, I believe a good AAA team could go .500 against the current White Sox. 1 Quote All roads lead to Dollar General.

Reinsdorf overrode all of those systems by being obsessed with Tony La Russa and, most inscrutably, the 2015 Kansas City Royals. The La Russa thing, I get, but seeing the Bill Walsh coaching tree in the 2015 Royals, I, what is that. WHY.
