M&M's Guy Has Betrayed You


White Sox fans have taken a lot of shit over the years. Tune into any typical White Sox home game on television, and you're bound to see plenty of empty seats.

It's led to attendance shaming by both the organization at times, and especially from the media.

You need to be told that you are a Bad Fan. You are not like the Good Fans on the other side of town, who for years forked over a bunch of their personal money to watch the Good Team no matter how shitty they were.

If you, the Bad Fan, cared as much about your Bad Team as the Good Fan does theirs, the Bad Team would be a Better Team.

But you don't. You're a Bad Fan.

Through it all, though, there was always one man. One hero that the White Sox and the White Sox faithful could depend on. No matter the team's record, no matter the day of the week, you would find him sitting behind home plate in his bright, yellow M&M's jacket. It didn't matter if it was 95 degrees, M&M's guy would be there, sweating his ass off in support of the White Sox.

As sure as the sun rising in the east, you could depend on M&M's man to be there for the team. He was the most loyal White Sox fan on the planet.

And I say he was for a reason, for Monday night brought the first sign of the White Sox apocalypse.


Good god, things are worse than I thought. If M&M's guy could forsake the White Sox in such a fashion, then there clearly is no hope.

We are all doomed to be the Bad Fan, rooting for the Bad Team.

The only escape is death.

Write Sox Offseason Plan: Rebuilding Edition

Image
A couple of weeks ago I wrote my version of South Side Sox's Offseason Plan Project , and in that plan I went with what I believe the White Sox are going to try to do this winter: not rebuild. While I still remain skeptical of a total overhaul coming our way this winter, I also realize that it does remain a possibility. I also notice that some members of the local media, and many others of the national media not only think it's very possible, but that it's the correct move to make. And it might be, in the long run, but I'm just not excited about the idea. In my opinion, the idea of a rebuild is a helluva lot more fun than the actual rebuild itself. It's exciting to think of an infusion of young prospects with limitless possibilities, but the reality of the situation typically involves a lot of players that don't pan out, and a shit ton of bad baseball to watch over a six month stretch. Still, just because I'm not into the idea of tearing it all down

The Worst White Sox Players Of My Lifetime: Position Players Edition

Image
While the entire White Sox fan base sits around waiting for something to happen with Yoenis Cespedes , I figured I'd help us all kill time by continuing what I started last week. If you don't remember, I ranked the greatest White Sox players of my lifetime (by bWAR) in two separate posts; one for position players and one for pitchers. Well, for every yin there must be a yang, and for every Frank Thomas there must be an Adam Dunn . So today I'm continuing the Superlative Series by ranking the worst White Sox players of my lifetime (1981-present), and much like I did with the greatest, players, we'll start with position players. Prepare yourselves for a painful trip down memory lane. We begin with four players who are all tied for seventh place.

The White Sox Could Find Their Designated Hitter In The Big Apple

Image
When the White Sox designated John Danks for assignment on Tuesday, they made quite a statement. There's no doubt that the Sox have been trying to build a contender for the last few years, but this season things are actually paying off. So when the team showed its longest-tenured player the door because he just wasn't performing well enough, it was the first real sign we've seen since the season started to indicate the White Sox fully intend to "go for it." And while removing Danks from the rotation and replacing him with a carousel of other starters could possibly improve the situation -- I'm honestly not convinced it will, but that's another post for another time -- this is still an imperfect team, win-loss record be damned. The White Sox offense has picked up the pace in recent weeks, but even with a stronger offense, there are still only five regulars with a wRC+ of 100 or higher (100 is league average). While the Sox aren't likely to lo
