As terribly disappointing this season has been, our bizarro National League twin, the Brewers, have to be even more disappointing to their fans.
Made it to game 7 of the NLCS last season yet they continue to have an identical record as the Phillies, and even have a worse run differential somehow

White Sox SS Tim Anderson has gotten some attention the last couple of days when he emerged with enough PAs to qualify for the AL batting title. He's in a concurrent chase: The record for fewest walks by a batting champion is 16, set by Zack Wheat in 1918. Anderson has 11.

Zack Wheat is in the Hall of Fame, fwiw
(Brandy) only hinted at Halladay's personal issues during her Hall of Fame speech last July, when she said, "Roy would want everyone to know that people are not perfect. We're all imperfect and flawed in one way or another. We all struggle."

We had Mack, who should have followed brother Buck to Hollywood.
Drunk and stupid is no way to be remembered but it is an easy way to forget.
