It’s hard to believe that the Chicago White Sox were the 2005 World Champions, topping all other clubs in the majors.
Today, as I gazed at the standings, less than two full seasons later, they’re in dead last in the Central Division, beneath the perennially poor performers, the Kansas City Royals.
The good news is that the Sox are a mere four games out of fourth place. They still have a fighting chance to stave off the shame of becoming cellar dwellers during the off-season.
But they’re not fighting.
With much of September yet to play, there’s little life left in the South Siders.
