June 19, 2017: The Art Of Tanking

posted in: Cubs, White Sox | 1

The White Sox are well on their way.  They’re currently the 2nd worst team in the AL.  They’re running out starters, besides Quintana, that not many teams would want.  They’re playing a bunch of young guys.  Yet, I just don’t … Continued
