White Sox have lost 10 in a row. 4 is the most runs they've scored in that time, 22 total.

Burnes has to get back on track today. It won't even be all that reassuring if he does considering the competition.

No excuses. This has to be a 3 game sweep. Losing even one game to arguably the worst team in last 60 years would be embarrassing.

Yeah I want the sweep, too. Would be losing ground to the field to lose one of three to them (although would still be ahead of the field for the year by including the 4-0 already against Chicago). Would be like parring a birdie hole (or doubling a bogey hole, to make a more personally honest analogy).

Can't assume a sweep. It's baseball, no matter how bad Chicago is, they've still managed to somehow win 31 times. You hope it's not against us, but could happen.

Absolutely have to win the series, though.

They don't have a single position player worth more than 0.6 WAR. That's crazy.

We don't have to face Crochet in this series, either.

Anything less than a sweep will be disappointing but certainly not shocking. Just hoping the offense doesn’t go to sleep in any of these games.

Pls win

There is baseball, and occasionally there are other things of note

"Making his own olive brine is peak Mackus."

Hopefully, Gunnar's waking up after yesterday's 2 hits. Adley? I don't even know what to say about him or if he'll ever come out of his hitting coma. It's been going on for a long time. With McCann actually contributing at time times with the bat, I wish they'd DH Adley most of the month and see if that does the trick.
