Sox are now 31-100, or .237. To avoid having (or tying) the most losses in the modern era, they need to be 12-19, or .387, or better. To avoid having the worst winning percentage of the modern era, they need to be 8-23, or .258, or better.

Good news is that even if they lose out, they still won't surpasss the 1899 Cleveland Spiders as the worst major league team ever (20-134, .130 vs 31-131, .191).

The Spiders were owned by the Cardinals and literally used them as a farm team taking their best players for peanuts.

Oh yeah, that's what makes this season of the Sox all the more shocking. They've actually been trying the past few years.

Even with that baggage, too bad the Guardians didn't change their name the Spiders or, my preference, the Napoleons.

I don’t usually pay attention this early, but the past six months of sports has been so boring, I’m also looking forward to it.

College football is easily my favorite sport, so I'm always ready. Week 0 is usually kind of snoozefest, but this year actually had some entertaining games.

I'm exited for a handful of games in Week 1!

It's still so weird to me that Washington will be playing a game on the Big Ten Network at 10pm on Saturday night haha

Speaking of college football...



I like the idea, but the fourth one is a real tryhard design, imho. Would've preferred just a Block I logo, maybe a blue helmet with an orange I.

Who the f*** purchases ....helmets?

If I had the money (I don't), I would have a sports shrine in my large man cave, and it would be cool to add a helmet to that collection.

My guess is most of the people who would purchase that are individuals with large amounts of money, or like a business that's run by an Illinois fan and wants to display it. Something of that nature.
 
Not going to lie, my dad and I probably going to a Sox game in a couple weeks just to be able to a) enjoy cheap baseball, b) say we went to a game in a historically bad season, and c) see the last time an Oakland team is in town.

Will probably buy tickets at the ballpark to get physical souvenirs.

Sox haven't stopped selling physical tickets?

I thought MLB had announced end of them?
