Rox vs. Sox, Sox vs. Rox. A rock ’em, sock ’em showdown with infamous implications.
The Rockies entered the Fourth of July weekend series against the White Sox at Coors Field with a 20-67 record, on pace to lose 125 games.
Last season, the White Sox lost 121 games, setting baseball’s modern-era record for ineptitude, surpassing the 1962 Mets, led by “Marvelous Marv” Throneberry and Choo Choo Coleman, who lost 120 games.
The 2024 Sox were 24-63 after 87 games — four games better than the current Rockies — but the Sox’s worst was yet to come.
