The number to beat in the AL is 21, and for modern MLB, it's 26. Can they do it?

I've never seen a team be this bad in such a cozy manner. It's like you know how they're gonna lose every time and each individual game isn't particularly painful.

I think they may actually be a worse team than the 2003 Detroit Tigers, who went 43-119, the 2nd worst record in history (well, since the schedule went from 154 to 162 games in 1962, the same year that the expansion New York Mets lost a record 120 games).

I probably won't pay too much to them down the stretch since my team is unexpectedly contending for the first time in 9 years, but it will nevertheless be interesting to see how many games the Pale Hose win over the last 2 months of the season.

The funny thing is that they were trying to be good.
Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

they face the Giants next week, so that streak will end.

Giants are loss-streak enders.

I have learned never to underestimate how low the current White Sox can go.

They're on pace to lose like 125 games. They're flirting with the all-time-worst record in the modern era.

What's funny is that 5 of their wins (about 18% of their total on the season) have come against Cleveland... which has the best record in MLB.

Wow that is a really bad record for baseball they have like twenty less wins than any other team.

This is from last year, but this is the greatest sports radio rant I've ever heard and it's about the White Sox. Berto just gets angrier and angrier the more he rants and the hosts just let him go.

They're paying Yoan Mancada and Andrew Benintendi 41 million this year to produce 0.6 and -2.0 WAR respectively.

They are giving two bums almost the entire payroll of the Oakland As(55 million) who actually appear to be on the rise, somewhat.

Is the 1899 Cleveland Spiders win percentage record still safe as the worst ever even if the White Sox lose all their remaining games?

It's safe. With the modern 162-game schedule, the equivalent to the Spiders' 0.130 record would be 21-141, and the White Sox have won 27. If they lose every single one of their remaining games, they'd end the season with a 0.167 record.

Yeah. I don't think incompetence will ever beat a team intentionally stripped of any remotely good player.

That's fucking amazing lol.
Other than saying Tim Anderson was one of two good players they had at the time (Tim Anderson sucked last season and has was released by Miami after 65 games this year), that was pretty spot on.

You know it's bad when you get swept by that loser franchise, the Seattle Mariners. Who were in the middle of free falling out of the playoffs race, with their atrocious offense and bullpen.

Hey, they're back in first place now, and they've just won the series against the Phillies. Their offense being consistently terrible and only propped up by their lights-out pitching is just mystifying.

If it is like the AL West last year, then that division won't be decided until the last couple of weeks. As for the White Sox, they are pathetic when they make the A's look competent.
Asocial, not introverted. Know the difference.
Maybe those JRPGs villains were on to something about humanity being trash.

Yes that's true they're playing better at the moment, but that team's had a long history of letting their fanbase down. Only MLB team not to have make it to a World Series for a good reason. A terribly run organization and the current ownership is notoriously cheap with his money. Offseason after offseason not spending top dollar to plug the holes that need to be fix. The Mariners literally downgraded on offense, because they were too cheap to resign a few of their decent hitters.

Gotta wait to see if this current winning run the Mariners are on is sustainable. They did make some trades recently to get better.

Juan Soto would've been a big help in the lineup.

I'd have loved for guys like Ohtani, Soto, and Glasnow to come to the Royals but I would never reasonably expect them to because free agents/expiring contracts of that caliber don't typically sign there. Not trying to salt the wound but when has Seattle ever been a "destination" for high profile free agents? When they signed Adrian Beltre 20 years ago?

Do they play the Rockies before the year ends? Play the other basement team?

I see its appeal as a team that is JUST on the edge of greatness and any of those superstars could be all they need for that final push over the edge, and they could take a lot of the credit for bringing this historically terrible team to the World Series or something to that effect. It's remarkable how well they've been doing these last few years with almost no stat power to speak of.

Eh, there's a chance his career would've taken a nosedive if he'd stayed. The Mariners have troubles coaching up hitters, and they routinely shift the blame on hitting coaches by firing them every year. We've had plenty of hitters leave, only to have better careers elsewhere other than Seattle.

Glad Marte is having success for Arizona though.
