This is a picture of the American League standings from ESPN.com.
You caninvestigate for yourself hereif you don’t believe me.
It’s very much true.
They never strikeout and the bullpen is consistently one of the sport’s best.
- The Tigers are marginally above average with room to grow in the long run.
Tarik Skubal certainly established himself as one of the absolute best arms in baseball this year.
And then 39 games behind them are the 108-loss Chicago White Sox.
Thirty-nine out of 2nd-to-last place in the division.
39 behind the Detroit Tigers for being distantly out of the playoff chase.
you’ve got the option to give me all the statistics on how much this team sucks.
They’re 4 for their last 41 and arguably not winning another game if the calendar is right.
I’m not trying to shit on a team that’s actively rebuilding.
I’m not trying to add more evil to this world but rather illuminate sheer incompetence on 35th street.
They could go undefeated the rest of the season and still win less than 55 games.
UNDEFEATED THE REST OF THE SEASON I SAID.
54-108
My dad’s a diehard and it legitimately hurts to talk baseball with him now.
Poor guy won’t turn off the American History Channel to even check a box score.
For that I have no words.
I’m sorry to be so blunt.
Good chance we end up in the exact same place just with a fraction of the embarassment.
So let’s look forward together to Caleb Williams debut this weekend.
Anticipated forever but still a touch sneaky-sneaky now that it’s arrived.
Would be nice to see the Cubs go undefeated leading up.
Would be nice to see the White Sox cancel the season and stop making vendors work 2,000 paid attendance.
Is he a hall of famer tomorrow?
I haven’t watched enough tape.
But I can guarantee the Bears won’t be 39 fuckin games behind the Vikings come Thanksgiving.
And in some fucked up way, at least that feels good.
