Whipped Cream Difficulties

The Chicago White Sox lost their 100th game on Sunday.

In the modern era, only the 1916 Philadelphia A’s, who were 29-100-1, reached 100 losses in fewer games than the White Sox.

The Sox are currently 31-100, for a .237 winning percentage. Projected out, that comes to 123 losses.

Put another way, in order to go 43-119, and miss tying the record set by the 1962 Mets, the Sox will have to go 12-19 in their remaining games, for a .387 winning percentage. They play Detroit at home tonight: Detroit is favored about 55% – 45%.
