So they are sending Montgomery down to AAA to start the year. I do not understand that at all. With where things stand with this team, should you not get him in the lineup everyday and see what you have for the future? What is he going to gain at AAA this year that he could not get with the Big league club

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

How can you write him off without at least a few months on the Big league roster?

Well if that is the standard they should just shut the team down and find something else to do!

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

I'm waiting for a similar "out for season" announcement on Drew Thorpe.

The White Sox announced that right-hander Drew Thorpe will undergo a Tommy John surgery. Dr. Keith Meister will perform the procedure, and Thorpe will miss the next 13-15 months in recovery.

And we're there. Shocking.

Where's Tommy John surgery on the Why Baseball Sucks list. It might be top 5.

They can still win more games than last season with some luck

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Just bet the moneyline against them every day.

Betting on baseball traditionally is based on the money line, the odds to win a game straight up. Websites like Covers.com track how much a bettor would be up or down if they bet $100 on a team in every game. If an unlucky bettor put $100 on the White Sox in every game this season, they'd be down approximately $6,100. A 60-unit loss is extraordinary and easily the worst season on the money line in over two decades. According to Covers, the 2018 Baltimore Orioles are the only other team to finish a season down more than $5,000 in the past 20 years.

Consistently betting on the White Sox has not been a popular approach this season, but some bettors have been repeatedly betting against them. Brad Bartel, an avid bettor from Chicago, began betting against the White Sox every game during their record-tying 21-game losing streak in July.

"Once they got on that streak, it seemed like there was no end in sight for them losing," Bartel told ESPN. "So, at that point, I decided it would be a fun and funny thing to do, especially being located here in Chicago."

Bartel's daily fade of the White Sox led to the creation of a group chat with betting buddies titled "White Sox L's." He's been betting against the White Sox in every game for over a month, often risking $200 or $300 on the favored opponents to win $100. He sees no reason to stop fading the White Sox now and plans to continue to do so throughout the remainder of the season.

Remember that they won 5 of 6 in September from an Angels team that was totally decimated by injuries. 39-123 was a more realistic number. So getting to 54 wins this year with six guys having TJS already seems like a minor miracle.
