I'm sure people who have been more closely following the AL Central teams are already aware of this, but this tidbit from the @joeposnanski.bsky.social newsletter this morning blew my mind.

The Chicago White Sox singlehandedly propped up perhaps the two best stories in baseball. The Guardians rolled in the division even though they actually underperformed against Chicago, but the Tigers would basically be a .500 team without the Sox, the Royals would be LESS than a .500 team without the Sox and the Twins would be downright lousy without the Sox. This whole wildcard race in the American League Central was brought to you by the Chicago White Sox. Tigers and Royals fans should send champagne to the South Side.

Just happy my dad, a lifelong White Sox fan, died in 2022 (you know what I mean here). At least he got to savor the WS victory in 2005.

Truly wild. Hawk Harrelson would be rolling over in his grave if he were dead.

And then there’s the run differential. The Sox single handedly dragged the entire division far below .500 in that.

As a White Sox fan….sigh.
