  1. Yes! It’s finally over!

    See you guys around the winter meetings when this sub starts to heat up again.

    Until next season boys

  2. And thus ends the most disappointing White Sox season in recent memory.

    101 losses.

    Absolutely embarrassing for all involved.

    Let’s hope this off-season features similar shakeups to the team that we’ve already seen in the front office.

    Cheers to all of you who sat through this season. And to those who didn’t, hopefully the off-season provides reason to have *some* excitement about next season.

  3. Absolute disaster for the season. There is 0 optimism left in this fanbase in the foreseeable future. Almost everyone on this team regressed. Jerry hired his boy to be GM without interviewing anyone else.

    Fuck you Jerry.

  4. The best thing to come from this season:

    > “I’ve been a diehard Chicago White Sox fan for nearly 40 years. I say that with the very express intent of sharing my deep and undying love for this team. And my call is rooted in heartbreak, not anger. Don’t get me wrong, I’m angry, but it is a byproduct of a dysfunctional, abusive relationship with the front office and the ownership of the Chicago White Sox. I also want to say I have defended this rebuild. I liked what the team did with the trade. I defended Yasmani and Dallas. I didn’t understand the La Russa hire, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I forgave the free agents they let go. I was befuddled by the Benintendi and Clevinger signings. But you know what? I said I’m going to give them one last shot. And when they canceled Soxfest, like the cowards they are, I knew something was up. But now we know, obviously the experiment is over. The vast majority of the prospects have been busts. The product on the field is pathetic. We have exactly two players of excellence on this roster, Dylan Cease and Tim Anderson. Everyone else is nowhere near the kind of player they need to be to make this a winning team.

    > You’d think that would be enough to wake this organization up. But yesterday, Kenny Williams had the gall to say that he’s not in a good place right now, and accountability is not an issue. You’re right, he’s not in a good place. He’s not in a job he should have. Think about all the promises that Rick Hahn made, mired in mediocrity, that he bragged about Romy González in Spring Training, and I’ll trade him if I get the right price. Think about the things Grifol said, “Come to the park, we’re going to kick everyone’s butts.” They must have been talking about the fans! Not the other teams. The entire lineup is batting under .220. The best hitter on the team is Jake. Burger! We’re a Triple A team. Our right fielders are hitting .180 with a weighted runs created plus (wRC+) of 28! I don’t even need to tell you about the pitching staff. Katz has got to go. Moncada, TA, Eloy, Yas, Joe Kelly – it’s week 4! They’ve all already been hurt! Tens of millions of dollars on replacement level players while stars go elsewhere. We’re 11 games under .500. The Bears needed six months to get 11 games under .500. We needed three weeks.

    > In the 15 years of Rick Hahn, we have been a constant experiment that has never panned out. In the 25 years of Kenny Williams, we had exactly one season of excellence with a perfect storm of players that has not once come even close to being the same. I don’t want to hear about the strength of schedule in April. With the money we spent, the players we have, playing .500 ball should be underachieving. Not 11 games under .500! We keep going after players that Rick Hahn liked five years ago. Lance Lynn, over the hill. Yas, over the hill. Benintendi, he wanted him in the draft six years ago. He’s got a 0.1 WAR. Clevinger isn’t just a clubhouse cancer, and a disgusting human being, he’s a horrendous pitcher! Joe Kelly has been useless! We signed Vince Velasquez! Give me a break. John Jay, Yonder Alonso. Between them, that’s 200 million on a bunch of black holes and an ERA of 240!

    > The entire organization is poisoned. The entire way that they go about their business is a failure. Firing Rick isn’t enough. Firing Kenny isn’t enough. If Chris Getz gets promoted and we have to sit through another 15 year retool/rebuild, you’re just going to hear from me again in 2038!

    > I don’t care if we go on a torrid winning streak in May and June and somehow get back to .500 ball, and then we scooch our way into the postseason in the Wild Card only to get bounced right away by a team that’s actually good. We have no depth in our organization. One injury and we are done. This process isn’t working. Our farm system has been in the bottom 10 for 45 years, aside from the one frame of time when they traded all our talent away and graduated them all right up – and then we were the worst again! There is one solution. In his final years, Jerry Reinsdorf, who, by the way, wouldn’t even have the reputation he had if he hadn’t have lucked upon Michael Jordan at #3 in 1984, has the courage to get rid of the yes men around him and fire everyone. He bought into the Chicago Bulls and the White Sox for $20 million. He’s worth two billion now! He needs to use a fraction of that money he made on the backs of Chicago’s blue collar baseball fans and pay for a front office to come and rebuild everything.

    > Rick Hahn and Kenny Williams cannot be trusted to rebuild this team again. They need to retire and go off into the sunset and play golf with the millions of dollars they made on their cushy paychecks for a job that they had a longer leash for than any executive in the history of the modern era of baseball. Let someone qualified come in and run this team. At this point, we would need a historic turnaround to even be mildly relevant. Everyone said the AL Central was weak, and it might be in comparison to others. But the Sox aren’t better than the Guardians or the Twins. We’re not even better than the Royals! And the fact that we’re only incrementally better than the Tigers is exactly the indictment on this organization that we need. The lack of success that this roster has [had] is a referendum of what we’ve already seen in 2006, 2007, 2011, 2013, 2015 and 16. And the excruciating last seven years that only led to this. I mean, Stoney is more worried about Lance Lynn eating a salad than the entire organization not knowing how to teach Major League prospects how to hit a baseball!

    > $200 million, we’re the laughing stock in the league and everyone needs to be gone. I just need other people in Chicago to be on that – that’s the bandwagon we in Chicago need to be on. The entire front office, ownership, they all need to go.”

    > – Berto from the West Side

  5. This was a terrible, dishonest below .500 baseball team. We couldn’t even play .500 ball goddammit. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, uneven win/loss ratio baseball. We lose, guess what? We won’t win a couple, too. But don’t get too excited or let it go to your head. No winning here, no sir. That’s hubris, which this blue collar, lazy, everyman team doesn’t have. No wins in a row, these guys, true to form, will balance it out with a couple a losses. Yes sir, that’s the 2023 White Sox. A terrible, dishonest below .500 baseball team.

    No, but in all seriousness, rest in piss to the worst Sox team of my lifetime. Fuck you and I’ll see you next year.

    Not “fuck you” to this sub. You guys are kewl.

  6. Hope you get some relaxation in the offseason, Andrews. You may be the only “core” left to drag the shit boulder next year.
