The WNBA, and NWSL, deserve to be considered as major professional leagues in this country. For that to happen, however, every one of their franchises has to be pulling its weight or, better yet, punching above it. Major League Baseball is established enough it can tolerate the Chicago White Sox being a laughingstock without them dragging everyone else down. The WNBA isn’t there yet. Not yet, anyway. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/angel-reese-kamilla-cardoso-chicago-231504815.html https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb-power-rankings-futile-chicago-093049021.html The greater appeal of power rankings resides at the top, eager readers wondering if their favorite club’s little hot streak dented the unforgiving hierarchy. This week, let’s pay tribute to the very bottom of the list – and the team that might never get out of the No. 30 slot. The Chicago White Sox are not just the worst team in baseball – a stunning designation given the Oakland A’s existence – they are essentially egging on the rest of the league to lap them. ..... That’s more than enough to sign a six-month lease in the cellar of USA TODAY Sports’ power rankings. Perhaps not so great, though, if they truly hope to hoodwink Chicago into a new stadium. A look at this week’s rankings:

Marlins 6-20 Rockies 6-19 Closest "pursuers" for infamy/ignominious regard Pretty soon every single AL Central team will be over .500 if the Twins can just make it back after beginning the week 6 games below that mark.

Adjust your fantasy teams right now to pick up all the Rays you can. Will start Arozarena and already benched Fairbanks for Adam.

UIC Night In addition to specially priced tickets, the first 1,500 fans to purchase at whitesox.com/uic will receive a co-branded sweatshirt. SOLD OUT!, 1,500 will have to show up in person to claim their sweatshirts.

Fedde and Wilson ... not even sure moving Crochet and Kopech would be worth it. Depends on offers. They're (other teams) going to want to watch Fedde at least another 4-6 weeks IMO before making a commitment.

And that was the end of Bush Sr.

Last night's loss extinguished any remaining fight left in this team. Even the Sox minor leaguers are taking some pride in winning...at least there's that.

Not even a cursory attempt to take a pitch or two? They realize they can't catch a flight out of town just yet???

Technically still a save opportunity.

JR is never going to cut a $50-60 million check in his remaining lifetime for one single player.

Yeah...it was too much wishful thinking. There are just the Fedde and Lee positive stories left for now.

Health check on ALY.

Everyone's now in a hurry to make it for their late dinner reservations. Top four of Sox lineup 0/12.

20-142 pace 1/8 = 12.5% Hawkisms being disproved about 40-54 wins being a given.

If Dorn was moved from third to left...and had a hair transplant. Bataan Bullpen Death March (apologies to any veterans)

Kepler was dead in the water coming into this series.

Hill is the textbook definition of a gas can. Well...still sort of a game but no idea who Sox could use out of pen if they miraculously got a lead or even tie.

Twins not exactly Murderer's Row without Kirilloff Correa Lewis Larnach. One OPS over 726 and that's their catcher.

Vaughn and Benintendi just unreal numbers... Once upon a time, AB was right up there with Bogaerts Devers and Moncada in the BOS pecking order.

Dogging it ala Pollock.

Wonder why Benintendi wasn't benched? Guess Grifol wanted to have one less controversy to have to address with the media...

Why are Maldonado and Garcia on this team again?

1-2-3 Catcher leading off is interesting. Margot hitting third even moreso.

Or Colas...
