Well… the schedule says that the White Sox have to keep playing baseball. Next Up: The Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Pirates have been middle-of-the-pack in the NL Central all year, and are currently 8.5 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals.

Meanwhile… well, you know where the White Sox have been, I don’t have to remind you.

But.

The Pirates are just 5-5 over their last 10 games and have allowed 93 runs in that span, second-most in MLB. They’ve allowed double figures four times in those eight losses and just got trounced 9-0 by the Brewers on Wednesday.
