Whipped Cream Difficulties

The NFL regular season begins tonight.

The NFL loser update will return on Tuesday, September 9th, since we have to wait for the Monday night game.

Meanwhile, it’s been a minute since I posted a baseball loser update. Lawrence sent over a link yesterday:

“Rockies, Freeland go down screaming as they hit loss No. 100”.

So how bad are things? Not as bad as you might think. And good enough to get me depressed, which is why I haven’t been posting.

The Chicago White Sox are at 52-88, for a .371 winning percentage. That projects out to about 102 losses.

And the Colorado Rockies are at 39-101, for a .279 winning percentage. Right now, that projects out to about 117 losses.

Looking at it another way, for the Rockies to beat the 2024 White Sox record, they would have to lose 21 out of the 22 games remaining. That’s theoretically possible, but call me when the pigs start flying.

One bright note, though: the Rockies are the first – and, as far as I can tell, only – team so far to be mathematically eliminated from post-season play.

On a side note that I don’t have any room for elsewhere, Lawrence also sent over this story about the Clippers paying $28 million to Kawhi Leonard through a fake job to get around the NBA salary cap.

I’d seen this story on Awful Announcing as well. It’s interesting, but I can’t get worked up over it: I’m absolutely convinced that, even if everything is true, the NBA and the Player’s Association won’t do anything about it.
