Historic season [View all]

I just happened to notice that the White Sox were playing at an incredibly bad .244 pace. So I did a little math and calculated that with any luck (all bad) they could easily set the record for worst season ever since 1900.

At the time I looked they were 29 - 89. Since then they have won 1 and lost 6 and now stand at an incredible 30 - 95 (.240). From what I looked up the worst record since 1900 was the Amazin' Mets with a 40 - 120 record.

I think the record is in sight! Let us hope they do not lose their focus and go on a win streak. At their current pace of .244 and 35 games to go they are looking at 39 - 123.
