The San Francisco Giants are neither a good baseball team, nor are they a bad baseball team. A bad baseball team is the Chicago White Sox, and bad is the nicest thing that can be said about the 2024 version of this execrable franchise.
On Friday night, the Sox won their 30th game of the season. On Saturday night, the White Sox were eliminated from playoff contention after dropping to 30-94. As Jack Baer at Yahoo! Sports noted,
If a team getting eliminated from the playoffs on Aug. 17 sounds early, that’s because it is.
