It’s been a rough season for the Chicago White Sox (48-73) with injuries, struggles on the field, and allegations of no rules or culture in the clubhouse.
The Rockies weren’t expected to contend for the playoffs, but the season has played out worse than even bad projections. Injuries, especially to the starting rotation, have Colorado sitting at 46-75 and firmly in last place in the NL West and possibly heading toward the franchise’s first 100-loss season.
The two teams will face each other in a three-game series that begins Friday night with Peter Lambert on the hill for the Rockies.
