With 33 wins and 114 losses the Chicago White Sox baseball team is on track to getting a record nobody wants, the biggest losers in the 120 year history of American baseball.
The current record is held by the NY Mets who scored a 40-120 win-loss record back in 1962. Reading that is to be amazed by the hopelessness of the Mets (they only played 160 games instead of 162 because two games were washed out), but it was their first year and they would win the World Series just seven years later.
The White Sox must therefore be even worse in ways beyond that implied by their losing record, and they’re one of the original baseball teams, having started in Chicago in 1901.
They’re almost certain to break the Met’s record since they would need to win 7 out of the remaining 15 games of the season just to tie the record, 8 to exceed it, and that’s a win rate of 47% and 53% respectively – while their current win rate is a shade under 23%.
I can’t see them becoming more than twice as good overnight. This is going to rival the 1919 Black Sox scandal when key members of the team were bribed to throw the World Series and several stars were banned from baseball forever, including the great Shoeless Joe Jackson.
The good news is that I’m a Cubs fan, being fond of little on the South Side.

It would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad
Hello, Russian Bot!
I’ve got the perfect lineup for them:
Tom Berenger, Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes and Corbin Bernsen.
😅
Another movie I suspect would not get made today, considering one of the motivational methods used by the coach!!
And of course it was a story about a fictional Cleveland Indians team, and now they don’t even have that name anymore (I wonder if there are still fans wearing Indian war bonnets, warpaint and banging drums in the stands?).
It would join the (very) long list of movies that wouldn’t be made today. Then again as Hollywood is a business like any other, as the public changes their fickle minds again about what is acceptable, so to may we see the glory of 1980s movies return.
