There have been more failed attempts by the White Sox to gain just a little traction, win a needed game to keep their fleeting good moments going, and make a statement of some sort so the rest of the weak American League Central knows they still exist.

Add Wednesday’s 12-5 loss to Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels to the disheartening cases in point.
