Double the Fun

How bad are the 2024 White Sox? Bad enough to put together two 14-game losing streaks in the same season. Up next are the Royals, who have beaten the Sox nine out of ten times this season. Any bets on ten/fifteen? The Sox three best pitchers—Drew Thorpe, Erick Fedde and Garrett Crochet—faced a slumping Mariners’ team at home over the weekend. Not one of them lasted more than four innings as Seattle swept all three games, by a combined score of 22-6. Only two teams in all of baseball have scored fewer runs than Seattle. Guess which team has scored the least of all. This is what organizational incompetence looks like. Manager Mickey Mouse was at it again, quoted in today’s Tribune that, “We’re losing games in many different ways that we have to clean up.” Here’s an idea. If he’s so big on cleaning things up, Mouse should start by cleaning out his office.
