The White Sox can win their 70th game today That would tie the most wins by a team following at least 3 consecutive 100+ loss seasons, done by: 2014 Astros 1965 Senators 1925 Boston Braves It’s August Related: no team has made the playoffs following even 2 straight 100-loss szns Yet

It’s pretty telling that the one person who unites all of us isn’t being lauded for the number of records they sold or how good they were at business, but for their acceptance of all, generosity of heart, and joy of spirit.

Hey to my favorite podcasters. Please, I am begging you, repeat the player you're talking about's name! You can't say the name once, then say "he" and "his" and "him" 43 times over 90 seconds before moving on to the next player. Just drop it in now and again. "Smith's targets..." Jones's OBP..."

Twins top prospect Walker Jenkins had zero career multi-homer games before going deep twice Aug. 6 vs Louisville. In his last 13 games starting with that game, he has three of them, homering 7x and going 21-for-51 (.412) 👀

Craig Kimbrel picked up the save for the Royals last night. It was the 9th club he has saved a game for tying Gossage, Rodney, and Dotel for that mark. Maybe he can get DFA’d, claimed by Atlanta, and stand in the bullpen when another save chance is available?
