White Sox thoughts.
* Chicago is 27-76 and 34.5 games behind the Guardians and 29.5 out of wildcart spot.
* ChiSox have lost 9 in a row and 1-9 in last 10
* 3 wins in July (3-14)
* .262 win percentage puts them back on pace to tie or surpass the 2003 Tigers who had 119 losses. The Tigers had a losing % of .735 as Sox are sitting at .738.
* The modern MLB record is 120 loss by the expansion '62 Mets with 120 (.750)
* Chicago is mind numbing 10-42 on road (.192)
* Out of the 27 wins, it is odd to note that 20 of those wins are against teams currently over .500 (20-55) which gives them a win % of .364 over top half teams
* The schedule the next few weeks includes a mix of teams at or above .500 (at Rangers .485 | Mariners .515 | Royals .549 | at Twins .550 | at A's .398 | Cubs .476)
* If Sox do trade away Garrett and Luis Robert; will this make them an odds on favorite to not only surpass the Tigers but the Mets?
* Recent rumors have the Phillies and Dodges making a run and one or both Garrett and Robert
* Luis Robert Jr. is batting .232 with 11 HRs who strikes out (66) far more than he walks (19) He was a 2023 All star and Silver Slugger. His 23 RBIs says more about his team as much as it says about him. He did miss significant time (2 months) for hip flexor

I can't imagine what it would be like to be a White Sox fan or player, knowing that they are years away from being a good team AND that there is no guarantee of that even happening.

I recall reading this story in elementary school:
“Lay It Down Ziggy”.
It was a baseball short story by Larry Siegel published in 1951 in American Legion Magazine. A minor league team signs a bunting midget (“Ziggy”) to entertain their fans. In “the big game” the manager puts Ziggy in to bunt in the winning run. “Ziggy” lays it down but into the folds of the oversized sloppy uniform of the opposing pitcher. By the time the pitcher can find and extract the ball from inside his sloppy uniform the winning run scores and “Ziggy” is the hero. :cool:

Fryeguy, you might just raid the Yankees farm system and set yourself up with some really nice, young pieces.

Forget the fact that a film may be a cinematic masterpiece, if there’s a hot chick, OB is nominating it for an academy award.
