For a while there, thanks to an easy opening homestand, the White Sox were in a tie for first in the AL Central (also tie for last, but we won’t mention that) because of some very good pitching, occasional long balls, and the division reverting to its historically incompetent self for a week. Two days on the road changed that, but it was fun while it lasted.
The 2-4 record was such a shock to some people that when MLB Trade Rumors did a poll on who readers thought would win the division, 12% said the Sox.
