Votes are now in, it’s official!

The 2026 version of the American League West was The Worst in its history.

The winner was the Astros, who sucked all year.

Literally no teams from the AL West played in October this season. First time ever.

How does a team like the Chicago White Sox who just lost an unbelievable number of games recently now become this awesome playoff team? Why can't this fucking ownership DO SOMETHING similar? It pisses me off.

How awesome would it to be a fan of an overachieving team instead of the shitshow we had to watch all season

The last time we had an overachieving team was in 2021 and that's just because Jerry refused to do anything between the 2020 and 2021 seasons and that's because he proclaimed that they weren't ready to compete and we missed the playoffs by one or two games. F****** idiot

Our 2025 team probably was an overachieving team. As a fan, I loved it.

Cal was really the only overachiever...

Just looking at 2025 vs. 2026 for these 4 guys

bWAR 2025 2026 Delta

Cal 7.2 1.0 -6.2
Julio 6.6 2.8 -3.8
Naylor 2.2 -0.2 -2.4
Munoz 2.5 0.1 -2.4
Total decline: -14.8

Team wins 2025 2026 Delta

90 76 -14

And there you have it.....
