The baseball season is long no matter how good your team is. So when its bad, like the 2024 Chicago White Sox, it must feel like an eternity. And that is the current situation facing NBC Sports Chicago's John Schriffen and Steve Stone. The South Siders had the worst record in baseball going into Thursday's game against the Boston Red Sox, but Schriffen continues to be ridiculously optimistic about the team's chances.
Having lost 13 straight games Schriffen opened the broadcast with some optimism. "I'm gonna go out on a limb," said Schriffen. "I feel good. Tonight is the night the losing streak comes to an end. We've got new blood in the lineup. New guys who are looking for their first major league hit and Paul DeJong with the wind blowing out, maybe he adds to his total tonight."
