For the first time since July 10th, the Chicago White Sox won a game last night.
How long ago was July 10?
Donald Trump has not yet been shot.
Joe Biden was still running for president.
MaXXXine was in the Top 5 at the box office.
EA Sports College Football 25 hadn’t come out.
It feels like an eternity ago.
But the White Sox did beat the A’s last night 5-1 and for that, they can celebrate.
This also may be as celebratory as it gets for the White Sox in 2024.
I think they are going to break the 1962 Mets record for most losses in a season.
That team went 40-120.
But that might not even matter.
These White Sox are so abysmal, they could lost 120 before Game 161.
Remember, the current roster is even worse than the one we have seen for most of the year.
No but they do combine to have a WAR with the White Sox of 4.8.
For most teams, that’s not great.
For this team, that’s a big part of their production.
Fedde especially had been good for them.
They have 17 games against lousy teams.
And, those aren’t the worst of the worst.
They don’t play the Marlins or the Rockies.
I put the Tigers as a losing team even though they have same record as the Rangers.
That’s only because the Rangers are getting some players back and are more in the AL West race.
The Tigers, Angels and A’s have a combined winning percentage of .440.
The White Sox winning percentage is .241.
There are no easy games for the Pale Hose.
There are 25 games in September.
That ain’t happening.
120 losses is absolutely in play.
I think they are more likely to lose 123 games than lose 116 or less.
They will venture to avoid the 89th loss right now against the A’s.
It started at 3:30 EST.
At least, they can’t lose tomorrow.
They have an off day.
