Tickets for yesterday's doubleheader

[mul21]

There were tickets listed for $0 for the Cards game last night in STL.  The BFIBS are completely apathetic at this point and it's hilarious after all the self flagellation over the years.

yes, Berni whatever his last name is was calling it DeWitt's fault for fans not showing up.

The funny part is the Cardinals are actually overachieving according to their run differential. They're still just as ****** as 2023.

White Sox record in each month of 2024 season:

 

0-3 March

6-21 April (3-game sweep of Rays)

White Sox:

White Sox have to go 12-13 to avoid 120 losses.

[Derwood]

White Sox and the Bears won the same number of games in August

[Sosa21MVP]

I'm all aboard the 31-131 train right now. Imagine if they finished 100 games below .500 lmao.

[Cubfanintheknow]

They have to win 9 of their last 24 (.375 winning percentage) to win 40 games. Current winning percentage is .225

Incredible run of awfulness.

If the TV graphic was correct,  first team since 1965 to have 3 10+ game losing streaks in a season.

I’m legitimately in awe of how bad they are. In a sport like baseball where atrocious teams win on occasion almost on accident it’s hard to believe a team is winning less than 23% of their games. 
 

The 2003 Tigers were also horrifically bad but they showed some heart and won 5 of their last 6 games to avoid setting the modern record for most losses in a season. They turned around and amazingly made a World Series 3 years later. I find it extremely hard to believe the White Sox can do the same.

Knowing Hawk, it just would have been 9 innings of complete silence during each game.

[CubinNY]

from our old pal Grant Brisbee

AL Central is 38 games under .500

The AL Central has five teams. Four of them are over .500.

[Tryptamine]

31-109 with 22 games left. They'll have to go .500 or better to avoid the most losses in modern mlb history. 

[NorthsideAvenger]

As the announcer said in tonight's game about a comical error made by the Sox, "the White Sox went full White Sox."

[soccer10k]

If they lose the next two games it will be their third 14+ game losing streak of the year. Their longest streak before this year was 13.

Even accidentally, a team couldn’t replicate 31-109. 😂 

[Brian707]

Interesting question posed on the Score today. Who will have more wins? The 2024 White Sox or the 24-25 Bulls?

[Tryptamine]

As was previously mentioned, the WSox need to go 11-11 or better to avoid having the most loses in history by a team in the modern era. To avoid having the worst losing pct of the modern era they must go at least 6-16. Their current .221 winning percentage would tie the 1896 St. Louis Browns for the 4th worst in baseball history. The 3 worse than that are the 1889 Louisville Colonels(.196), 1890 Pittsburgh Alleghenys(.169) and the infamous 1899 Cleveland Spiders(.130).

that's not really much of a conversation for me, but I'm pretty down on the Bulls next year lol.  I don't think they'll be worst record in the league bad by any means, but I don't think they're a threat to hit the 36ish wins the White Sox will end up at.

[JHBulls]

To think that this years White Sox are so much crapper than last years A’s.

A’s started 2023 with a 10-45 record (tying two other clubs for the worst first 55 game start in MLB history) and a 21-61 first half record, on track to be worse than the 1962 Mets. Did not even come close to that record in the end. 

Today the White Sox are 32-109. On track to finish with the worse record in MLB history, unless they somehow win 9 games from their final 16.
