The wonders of a 13-0 win! And a road sweep!
Yes, the mood has lightened a bit this week, as the White Sox decimated Detroit. But let us not forget we’re less than a week from losing a home series to the Texas Rangers, and we’re flying into the teeth of a team with, uh, slightly better pitching than the Bengals.
The White Sox are 30-31, still in third place in the AL Central, and not particularly close to moving up (three back of the Guardians, five of first-place Minny). Chicago is eighth in a six-team postseason race, with the sixth seed currently occupied by Cleveland.
