If the White Sox go 8-15 to close out the season, which seems like quite a lofty record for them to achieve at this point,...it still won't be enough to ''match'' the 1962 Mets at 40 wins (the 1962 Mets had 2 rainouts that were never played and went 40-120 so for me, the White Sox need to go 39-123 to officially be worse).
Another loss for the Royals, who have gone from first place on Tuesday to a 6 game losing streak.

No advanced metrics available yet but it appears he got smacked hard again, just with less damage because lol White Sox.
It's all piling up to be a pretty ugly decline; K rate down, hard hit rate up, and more concerningly he's also giving up stolen bases a ton too.

I watched this one and he was very fortunate to give up only 2 with all the traffic through 3 innings. The Sox lineup didn't even have Robert (who has also been brutal beyond belief). Truly a AAA team.
He was facing Flexen who ranges between mediocrity to despair. Flexen is making a major league cheque though as someone has to take the ball every 5th day. He goes out there and does give his absolute best with what he has. Simply atrocious ball team and I feel sorry for those that pay to watch.
Cubs punted Hector Neris into the sun... very unceremoniously. Little karma with Jorge Lopez getting lit up and turning a 3 zip lead into a deficit.

Mets pull within a 1/2 game of Atlanta in the WC race with a 4-1 win over Boston

Pirates have scored 4 straight to take the lead. This would be a horrific loss for the Cubbies...
They lose tiebreaks against the Mets and the Braves, so they don't have much room for error.

Speaking of horrific losses, chalk up another one for the Mariners in Oakland. They are now a .500 baseball club. One of the most shocking collapses I can remember. From 44-31 to a .500 team on labor day with GREAT starting pitching.

The White Sox are a special bunch

Prior to finally breaking the under .500 streak in 2013, the Pirates were 58-42 on July 28 2012, and managed to finish 79-83, losing nearly as many in the last 62 games as they did in the first 100
With 108 losses and 23 games left, the CWS are not only going to beat the Mets record, they’re going to obliterate it.
The A's are closer to the top spot of the AL than the White Sox are closer to the A's.
Zack Greinke had a career .336 slugging percentage. The 2024 Chicago White Sox are slugging .338.
It feels like every day there's a new stat about how historically shitty this team is
It is not helping the Sox that Nastrini can't get a damn call. They are up against the Great Cade Povich.. can they score a few runs?
Down 3 - Korey Lee picked off 1st. A club of excellence.
I am sorry but this is outrageous. Is anyone else watching this? What hope are Sox fans clinging to for the future?

Jesus Christ. This is the big leagues.
Vargas got benched for that gaffe after the left fielder was apparently calling him off.
You know how people constantly gloat about how, say the best college team could beat the worst NFL team? Those people would potentially have a case if they said the best AAA team could beat the White Sox.
This is legitimately the worst sports team i have ever watched. The 2008 Detroit Lions at least lost a couple games by less than a TD. The process Sixers were at least designed to be as shitty as possible in the name of stocking up on draft picks. What makes the White Sox worse as they're this bad while thinking they're actually relevant.

There has been some pretty bad sports teams. The expansion Capitals come to mind. They won 8 games I think.
Absolutely but that was way before my time lol.

Maybe the most amazing part is the White Sox can't even get a top 9 pick in the 2025 draft because of MLB's bizarre new draft lottery rules, lol.

Can't win a lottery in consecutive years if you're in a big market and/or have revenue sharing. A's can't pick in the top 9 next year, either.

The specific rule:
sports.yahoo.com
Braves and Mets appear headed towards W's while the Cubs are down big against the Pirates. A crippling 24 hours for the Northsiders.
Royals on track for another L but no one seems to be any kind of threat right now to take their spot.
White Sox face historically bleak present and a long road back to relevance
The lack of talent in the big leagues and the farm system, combined with the organization’s unwillingness to spend, makes a quick turnaround highly unlikely for the worst team in MLB.

I do wonder if after this year, they put a condition on this where if you are like 10+ games worse than anyone else, you get a reprieve and can at least pick top 5.
