I think the White Sox will finally win today and then they will resume their losing ways on Wednesday. I hope they dont do what the 03 Tigers did. They had the 62 Mets modern day record of 120 losses squarely in their sights. (Nobody is ever going to lose 134 games like the 1899 Cleveland Spiders did). The Tigers were 40-119 going into the last series of the year and swept it to blow the modern loss record and wound up 43-119. 3 years later, Dave Dombrowski had them in the World Series. The ChiSox better do this right. Lose at least 121 games. Let's see if they can win fewer than 40 games. Maybe their winning percentage can be lower than the already low league batting average, lol. Lower than .250. Yeesh. Yup. Streak over. Too bad

Dick Mountain sweepstakes time He's definitely worth a look. Don't know if he'd really slide in above anyone in the rotation at full strength but as a guy to sign for the stretch run to give some current rotation members a breather.

Dick Mountain sweepstakes time Feels like signing him would be a great way to give houck/pivetta/crawford some rest down the stretch Edit: did Odorizzi and Greinke call it quits or are they trying to come back as well?

Pedro Grifol has been fired. Jesus Christ couldn't have saved the White Sox himself. That organization is so bereft of leadership it makes the Angels look like The Dodgers.

I looked at the box score of the game they finally won; we'd be burning down Fenway if a single guy playing that night was on our roster (stats-wise at least). No one batting over .236, one guy over .300 OBP (.306), LRJ the only one slugging over .390.

Grady Sizemore in as interim manager.
The fact that Rocco Baldelli has not needed to hit the IL as Twins manager likely made them more comfortable with this hire.

I for one am shocked Reinsdorf didn't pull some "Trading Places" move where they replaced Withrope III (played by Grifol) by some homeless guy in front of the stadium. So there is that.

Christian Moore has 5 HR in 5 AA games. I'm guessing the Angels have just about seen enough of him at that level.

Rays called up Junior Caminero
If he could do me a favor and be a bust that'd be great

Btw how much are the guardians kicking themselves? Dealt Caminero for Tobias Myers, ditched Myers and now he’s having a good year for Milwaukee

Catching the end of the Braves-Giants game... Snell and Sale combined for 13.1 IP, 0 runs, 5 hits, 3 walks, 23 strikeouts.
Sale lowered his FIP to 2.12. Second best is Skubal at 2.68. The MLB leader last season was Sonny Gray at 2.83.

Dealt Caminero for Tobias Myers, ditched Myers and now he’s having a good year for Milwaukee My impression as a casual observer is that the Guardians make a constant stream of bad trades, draft weird, have a tiny budget, and then end up being good anyway.

Not sure "what happened to Wander" is quite the way to put it. I rather doubt he was just sitting on a park bench and that situation suddenly "happened to" him.
