On the occasion of the White Sox matching the 1962 New York Mets — yes, an expansion team — at 120 losses, the most since 1899, Brett Ballantini and Melissa Sage-Bollenbach got together to assess our club, past, present and future.
Reaction to the impossible happening: 120 losses. A shock, or long-anticipated?
A rundown of the other milestones ahead: farthest out of first (56 1/2 games), worst team outright since 1899 (1916 Philadelphia A's), top five-worst MLB team outright (dating back to 1876) ... sigh
Training the lens again on GM Chris Getz, who managed to put together a howlingly awful offense, which will become the only negative-WAR hitting or pitching group in 125 years of White Sox baseball
Considering Getz will be given no money to spend in the offseason, looking ahead to how different things might be in 2025 (not very much!)
How this utter abomination of a season affects our fandom
