I don’t want to overreact here, but I’m beginning to suspect the White Sox might not win their division after all.
Take all the time you need to process that bombshell.
So much has gone wrong with the Sox — free-agent misses, a parade of injuries, a team-wide power outage, repeated blunders on the field — that almost no one escapes blame. There’s a bunch of it, of course, for Tony La Russa, who will miss the rest of a lost season as he tends to his health. He never got these Sox to play for him, a very bad look for all involved.
