You guys with your first world problems. My White Sox continue their march to the worst record in the modern era.

How bad are they? They have 14 and 21 game losing streaks. It gets worse. If you throw out those 35 loses, they STILL have the worst winning % in the league this year. Oy vey

 

It's gotten so bad that @johnsoniu has resorted to kvetching in Yiddish in his posts.

I mean....at least the catcher threw a dot. That may the lone silver lining on the south side of Chicago this year.

That's cup half full for sure. Like hitting a ball 115 mph...into a triple play.

Go Cubs Go!  3 GB in the WC race.

I don't follow baseball very closely but this is pretty impressive.  As of tonight he's hit 51 homers and stolen 51 bases.

 

[Stuhoo]

Ohhhhhhhtani.

He is it.

[Hovadipo]

That slash line on the night that he hit that milestone is just unbelievable. What an athlete.

My FAVORITE player of all-time!

[LamarCheeks]

Final four of Yankees, Guardians, Mets and Dodgers. 

Meh. 

As long as the Yankees win the AL, MLB won't care who comes out of the NL. 

Yankees vs. Mets -- win-win
Yankees vs. Dodgers -- win-win
Guardians vs. either -- not so much (though the No. 1 or 2 market will still be participating, so maybe a win-tie? LOL)

Cleveland does have a Cubs-ish run of 75 years without a title so there's a storyline besides being the plucky upstarts.

But I'm a Yanks fan so I've got no problem with the streak going to 76.

Cubs fans -- me being one for over 50 years -- scoff at a silly little 75-year title drought!

Yep. And I say again, if they let Soto walk Cashman and Steinbrenner will never be able to show their faces in NY ever again. He was only real addition to the lineup; for much if the year it was him and Judge and a bunch other guys. Need Judge to wake up at the plate.

Need to do something about first and third this off-season, Torres could leave and Chisholm is naturally a second anyway.

Fernando Valenzuela passes away at 63.  RIP 

Came up in 1981 and both won ROY and the Cy Young

[LamarCheeks]

Wow. Rickey Henderson died. 

A phenomenal ballplayer -- also had the unique distinction of throwing left-handed and batting right-handed. 

RIP
