Sullivan should have waited at least another day to unload beacuse, if the Sox win tomorrow, they will STILL have a better winning record than the 1962 New York Mets, who finished at 40-120.

The White Sox are currently at 40-121 after an impressive 4-0 win against Detroit wrapped up just hours ago. If they win tomorrow and finish at 41-121, they will have a winning percentage of .3% higher than the hapless Mets.

The Sox are indeed pathetic, but imagine the frustration of Mariner fans, who must endure the only MLB team never to even reach the World Series, much less win a championship. Even their record matching 116 win season of 2001 was spoiled by the Yankees, ruining their closest ever attempt to reach the Series.. I do not expect to live long enough to see that wretched franchise play in the Series.

I am a Sox fan, and I just couldn’t take it anymore. My town has a team in a league of college players, and they provided my baseball fix this summer. They are pretty good, although not at MLB level, but they also aren’t getting paid millions of dollars whether they are any good or not.

Getz playing 2nd for the Royals was an exercise in futility.

Well if they want something to hang their hat on, the Royals are in the playoffs after losing 106 games last year.

I’m from the Boston area and my dad used to get tickets to the Red Sox game occasionally when I was a kid. We weren’t that well off so the tickets he always managed to get was against the White Sox. I guess those were always really cheap to get. So every Red Sox game I ever went to was against the White Sox. Ironically, enough every single game, I attended, the Red Sox lost against the White Sox. Every. Single. Game.

They still beat the Braves two out of three. Shut them out.
