There is no way to avoid acknowledging the horribleness of this White Sox season in real time, sometimes, and this is one of those sometimes. An under-the-weather Brett Ballantini mans the mothership solo to navigate a 106th season loss — tying the all-time White Sox single-season record — on August 31 of the season! Points Brett made while talking to himself:

• Futility Watch updates
• Horrid offensive WAR updates
• Watching the White Sox loss on Saturday go final (yes, the podcast started before the loss was in the books because, well, 105 prior losses would tell you a comeback wasn’t in the works)
• Reviewing the prior end-of-season projection that had started with the Yankees series, and despite all the details of each series being wrong … the final record projection is still dead on, and DEAD UGLY
