Cubs fans: hehehehehehe Sox game no attendance
Sox fans: The Chicago White Sox are historically, statistically the least successful franchise ever
Cubs fans: derrrrrrrrr Bridgeport scary neighborhood
Sox fans: Jerry Reisndorf is a war criminal who deserves The Hague
Jerry Reinsdorf has never given a single player $100 million but wants the government to give him $1 billion despite 40 years of mostly underperformance
BIRMINGHAM SOUTHERN TO THE D3 WORLD SERIES 🔥🔥🔥
Their school is closing down May 31st so they will be representing a school that no longer exists. Crazy stuff
People retroactively act like Tim Anderson wasn’t a star.
They’re full of it.
From 18-21 he was a 5.1 bWAR player per 650 PA (to account for 2020’s short season).
He won a batting title, multiple time all-star, a silver slugger, got MVP votes.
And this.
Just a reminder, Chicago has a sports team in an American Conference, a National Conference, an Eastern Conference and a Western Conference.
The only city with one in all four
Just a reminder of the White Sox Draft and Development History, here is every White Sox hitter over the last 30 years that the team drafted who became an All-Star with the team:
Tim Anderson, Joe Crede, Ray Durham, Frank Thomas.
That’s it. For 3 decades.

Folks, today Pitchers and Catchers report for the Chicago White Sox.
In related news, the 2024 Chicago White Sox have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.
The issue with Moneyball is that people who watch it miss the part where the A's lose at the end (spoiler alert) and for some reason, they think that being cheap and using analytics is better than spending large amounts of money and using analytics.
The year is 2013. The White Sox are underperforming and Justin Verlander is crushing them.
The year is 2016. The White Sox are underperforming and Justin Verlander is crushing them.
The year is 2023. The White Sox are underperforming and Justin Verlander is crushing them.
Let’s cut to the chase, here.
Andrew Benintendi is fine.
Him being your biggest contract in team history is embarrassing.
Him being the jewel of your “let’s get serious now” offseason is also embarrassing.
Do more, prove me wrong, but this same patchwork crap isn’t enough.

made literally hundreds of bad baseball games into enjoyable experiences.
He made a lot of tough personal times easier with the joy, comfort and comedy he brought.
He deserves nothing but success and happiness.
The White Sox have 2 players die in the same year they’re playing a game inspired by the movie about dead baseball players showing up at a field?
Curious.
"A person like Tim Anderson in the game of baseball should never feel like he has to say that he wasn't bothering somebody.”

NEWS:
Jason Benetti’s departure hastened by contentious relationship with executive Brooks Boyer.
Plus, Mike Monaco, Connor McKnight among potential successors.
My toddler just looked at me & said, "Why would the White Sox call up Lenyn Sosa directly from AA if they had no intention of playing him? Surely he would be better served staying in the minors & getting plate appearances every night instead of riding the bench.” Great point, kid
