The White Sox have one of the top 5 players in baseball under control until 2027. _________________ Blago: https://youtube.com/shorts/Lftdxd-YXt8?feature=share "You can’t love your country only when you win." -President Biden | |||

The Blackhawks drafted young Gretzky. The Bears are in a position to draft an all time great quarterback. The Cubs have a great farm system, the best Justin in Chicago, and should be a playoff team. The Sox have Robert. The Bulls have Benny. _________________ Blago: https://youtube.com/shorts/Lftdxd-YXt8?feature=share "You can’t love your country only when you win." -President Biden | |||

Is this the worst ever? I'm not sure about "era", but the best team in Chicago in 2002 was the 81-81 White Sox. These teams were led by Bill Cartwright, Brian Sutter, Dick Jauron, Don Baylor and Jerry Manuel. _________________ | ||

Bears were bad, Cubs were bad, Bulls ceased to exist, the Hawks were coached by a Finnish playwright, and I guess the Sox won the Central over the Indians but didn't do anything with it. _________________ Molly Lambert wrote: The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both. | ||

A quick glance at that site tells me it’s as bad as it’s been since the city had more than baseball. 2020 was ok, but kind of a bullsh*t year so doesn’t count. _________________ Peter Clavin wrote: Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

Individuals like Payton and Van Lier were what we had to cheer for. Hawks would make the playoffs, but get bounced immediately. Cubs, Sox and Bears were all hopeless. _________________ | ||

One of my brothers was a big soccer player and fan back in the days where that was only reserved for immigrants and counterculturalists. He is much older than me, so he could drive when I was still just a young kid. We went to several Sting games both outdoor and indoor. I thought it was great. It seemed so exotic with the unusual names. I never played a minute of soccer in my life. _________________ | ||
