Between them & the Bulls, the Reinsdorfs must be super popular in the Windy City...
Guess they are trying to do

what the Astros and Orioles did - tank for a few years for the draft to build the farm system and hopefully get some outstanding young talent.
I hope they aren't comparing our Giants to the White Sox

by the end of this season.
Yeah, but

The Mets had the immortal Marvelous Marv, Vinegar Bend Mizell, Roadblock Jones, Choo Choo Coleman, Hot Rod Kanehl, 2 Bob Millers, etc. plus the Ol' Professer Casey Stengel. The White Sox are just plain bad....the Mets were comical.

That's when they'll start winning games and bounce themselves right out of a top 3 draft pick
They will almost certainly lose 120 games,  
Section331 : 9/12/2024 10:13 am : link
they’d have to go 10-5 the rest of the way not to. The question is, will they also take the prize for worst winning %? Remember, the Mets only played 160 games in 1962, so their win % was .250.

Right now, the ChiSox are at .226, if they go 8-7 the rest of the way, they will outright own the most losses at 121, but their win % would be .253, better than the ‘62 Mets. They have 7 or 8 games left with the A’s and Angels, so not entirely impossible, but I’m guessing they’ll “own” both records.

And of course we’re an expansion team. And one screwed by a bad expansion draft the NL had implemented.

Nice! Thanks for this lol this is gonna be good
It is pathetic that this a professional sports team  
moespree : 9/12/2024 2:00 pm : link
This isn't even close to an expansion team in the 60s. They are already worse in my opinion. The Whitesox have a $133 million payroll.

It's difficult to be this bad in modern pro sports even if you actively try to be.

The Panthers would like a word! Very true about the expansion Mets. MLB changed the expansion draft formula after the Angels were "too competitive" in their first season, which left the Mets with old, broken-down players.

How the White Sox got this bad is mind-boggling.

Sox lose 2-0 to Oakland

Oh shit.

We have a Chicago White Sox victory over Oakland, 7-6.

34-1115.

Route 9 : 9/16/2024 10:28 am : link
Oh shit


Chicago White Sox win TWO in a row. I guess these guys will not go quietly into the record book?

Oh my God, they must really suck if I put they lost 1000 games in one season

3 wins in a row!!
Not letting this thread die

36-117
They need to go 7-2 to avoid tying the record,  
Section331 : 9/19/2024 3:06 pm : link
no way that happens.
40 wins would tie the Mets for the fewest  
Section331 : 9/19/2024 3:09 pm : link
in an entire season, going 5-4 would at least avoid that record, I don't think they do that either.
