Quote from: 18thandWells on July 24, 2025, 07:09:25 AMThe 2017 Brewers finished one game out of the Wild Card spot. The 2025 White Sox are the worst team in the American League, (by a considerable margin). This is not a good  comparison.

If you want to write a couple paragraphs of your enjoyment of the 2002 Brewers (finished 56-106, worst team in the League), it would be much more apt to the conversation.


If dish enjoys this year's Sox team, he can enjoy them. Why do you have to be such a wet blanket?

Ok I've come around, thank you for explaining.

Looking forward to telling my kid when their kindergarten soccer team is 1-8 "this is not enjoyable for me".

Scoring your first goal after practicing your skills in the yard? Buddy if you're not making a run in the playoffs, daddy is going to rage drink malt liquor and call the Mequon police because he saw a minority drive by.

The 2017 Brewers, who were not eliminated from playoff contention until September 30, are nothing like the 2025 White Sox, who followed-up the worst season in MLB history with being the worst team in the American League again.

The Chicago White Sox are a professional baseball team, playing in the in third-largest market in a sport without a salary cap.

You lost me, but I swear I've never been to Mequon.

Some of the joy in watching baseball is watching young guys develop. There's die-hard Minor League Baseball fans. It's not the pros, why should they care?

Wait... does Dish have a kid on the White Sox? If so, I apologize.

They're still a terrible team, but now I kinda understand the "fun and enjoyable," part. I mean, you get to watch your kid play.

I didn't think I needed to bring my kids into this, but the White Sox have been incredibly kind to our family. 10 years ago my son was picked as their "Home Run For Life" recipient during his leukemia battle. I called a home run on a broadcast a few years ago while I was being interviewed, and I have many friendships from their front office, to players, to broadcasters. So if you need to validate my fandom, yes, I am a Sox fan.

Their overall record sucks, but since I posted my original statement, the team has been very fun to watch. Last night's game was fun as hell to consume. If it's not fun for you to watch, cool. Hopefully they can take 2 of 3 from the Cubs this weekend.

When the MLB went woke and concentrated on pure analytics this is the price we pay

Sometimes they need coaching and grooming before they're ready for their debut performance

Let's get greedy and make it all 3 from the Cubs.

Not sure Pope Leo would approve of greed, but taking all 3 from the Cubs probably deserves a Papal blessing.

If I pay a tithe I'm sure he'll let it pass for Cubs fans bearing false witness against the Sox for claiming he's a Cubs fan

Canadian Josh Naylor, (the kids call him "Wario"), has been traded to the Mariners.

Since the Dbacks are obvious sellers, maybe this resurgent White Sox team I read so much about should go after Suarez.
