August 12, 20223 yr And now they have to play .600 ball to win 86 games. And hope that’s enough. Terrible season.
August 12, 20223 yr This season has been one long sine wave along the .500 line. The summer of “meh”.

August 12, 20223 yr I remember the 1990 team as one of my favorites. Their leading home run hitter was Carlton Fisk with 18. They had no superstars; Frank Thomas had been just called up in August. Their motto was "Doing the Little Things." Little things were advancing runners, getting runners home from third with less than two outs, turning the double play. They won 94 which was good for the third best record in baseball. The White Sox need to do the little things if they want to get over .500.

It’s literally anything besides shitting the bed that is needed from this group
