White Sox rookie lefthander Ky Bush did his Houdini thing again yesterday in Houston. Two runners on nobody out in the first, bases loaded two out in the third, and no damage either time. You’d think one run in six innings would quality Bush for the win, but you’d be wrong. Astros 2 Sad Sox 0. That’s fourteen shutout losses, in case you’re counting. The sad ones managed three singles and a walk to go with thirteen strikeouts. Not one of the nine starters—including Luis Robert Jr., Andrew Vaughn and Korey Lee—deserves a guaranteed starting job going into spring training. How bad is it? Vaughn leads the team in batting average (.242) and RBIs (52). The Sad Sox record stands at 30-95, equal to the ‘’62 Mets at the same point in the season. You Gotta Believe.
