Aren't the Sox only 2 games back of the Tigers? And don't we have a better record than them? And yet, our season is a total disaster and the Sox are very much alive. Weird how perspective changes everything.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Not coming to defense of the White Sox but believe the White Sox have 1 more win and 2 more losses than the Cubs. The Cubs have played less games. I have some cash on the line regarding the Cubs record vs Sox record for the year so I have begun watching the totals.

Regarding weak divisions, the NL Central isn't that strong either.

Well, I'm not sure how any of that information changes my point.

- We're ahead of the Sox by percentage points, record-wise.

- The first place team in the AL Central has a .533 winning percentage. If the Sox were in the NL Central, they'd be 6.5 games back. Instead, they're 2 games back.

So, as I was saying...we still look like an absolute disaster at 6 games back and they look competitive at 2 games back.
