It’s looking doubtful but would be enough to better than Orioles’ record ?

I doubt they even get to 40.

All they need is 9 more wins

Good God - never thought I'd see a team that needed to win 2 out of 3 for a month just to equal the record of the 2018 Orioles. That is incomprehensively bad.

Yeah and I don't think they win 9 more games. They have  7 wins total since the end of June.

I’m still trying to imagine that level of futility, smh

If I remember correctly, the White Sox dropped a cheeky win on the Yankees when the two played last month.  So it really feels like we need to take all three.

Have to sweep. But there’s no doubt we will let one get away.

Excuse me, 16 wins.  I think 16-8 is damn near impossible for them.

I don-t think the Sox would win 16 more games if they played till Christmas.

I feel like the Burnes game is most likely that one.  What does it say about Burnes if he gets smacked around by a lifeless WS offense.

The White Sox would have to go 16-8 to match the 2018 Orioles.  That's not happening.

To beat the 1962 Mets .250 winning %, the White Sox will need to finish 10-14.  I think that's probably a stretch as well with the September Effect.

I just glanced at the standings , the White Sox winning % is .225 . Are the 1962 Mets being replaced by 2024 White Sox ?

I can see that.

If that happens he should be benched for the rest of the year. Dead serious.

Honestly I think Burnes has a good start. He’s much better than what he’s shown lately and we all know that.

Best case is we get on a roll beating up White Sox for three and Rangers beat up on Yanks in Arlington for 3.

I wonder if Burnes really cares about this year, his mindset is FA and making as much money as he can.
