I remember the darkest days of the White Sox rebuild -- in 2017 and 2018.
I used to check the pitching matchup in the morning and say to myself, "Good grief, the Sox have no chance to win today." And they would inevitably lose, and you'd just live with it (but not like it) because expectations are so low.
On Tuesday morning, I found myself in that position again. White Sox at Dodgers. Lance Lynn (6.75 ERA) on the mound for the Sox. Tony Gonsolin (1.93 ERA) on the mound for Los Angeles.
A helpless feeling. The Sox have no chance. They are beat before they even step on the field.
Lynn gave up two two-run homers in the first inning. It was 4-0 Dodgers by the top of the second inning. Gonsolin threw six innings of shutout ball. He allowed only two hits.
The Dodgers beat the Sox, 5-1. Five or six years ago, we all shrugged off the Sox being overmatched by an elite team like Los Angeles.
Now, it's more irritating because we were promised an elite team. Instead, we have a losing team. All you can do is shake your head.
