I just looked for the helluvit.

Man, the Sox are all-time BAD right now. Glad I don't watch. Jeez.

They could end up worse than the 1962 Mets (120 losses).

Da Braves had two players hit back to back homers, which isn't that rare, but they did it twice in the same game, which surprisingly also isn't THAT rare.  All four were solo shots.

Back in the 60s, Da Braves had a PITCHER hit two grand slams in one game, Tony Cloninger.  That one is rare.

Ownership can't get out of the way.

Worried that may also be the case with the nepo baby Illich for the Tigers/Red Wings

That is probably the rare bit.

The announcers last night said the back to back twice in a game by two players happened 23 times in MLB history.

There have been 24 perfect games thrown.

Both are rare.

😂 I didn’t know the White Sox were this bad – from Awful Announcing:

“The Chicago White Sox have transformed into a toxic circus, or “weasels,” for that matter.”

“From the front office to the dugout, everyone seems more interested in pointing fingers than winning games. In terms of futility, the White Sox are on pace to catch the 1962 New York Mets, which seems somewhat impossible, but amidst their 16-game streak, this is the second double-digit losing streak of the season.”

“It’s a miserable spectacle where blame is the only currency, and the search for accountability has turned into a full-blown witch hunt. With tensions escalating and morale plummeting, it’s hard to imagine a rock bottom for this franchise. But being called “weasels” by a local Chicago radio host nearly takes the cake.”

White Sox losing streak is now up to 17, with their last win coming in a game Vs the Twins on July 10th.

It's really sad. They need to be sold and move the team. Nashville or Charlotte would be great spots for them. Maybe even Orlando or Jacksonville.

Bigwigs in Austin are talking about trying to get a MLB team.

Austin Whitesox doesn't sound right.

Austin Birkenstox would be more appropriate.

I've been told that folks in Austin think of MLB as rats ass

Charlotte might be a better MLB market.
