ON THIS DAY🗓️

On this day in 2012 —

The FASTEST man in the world, Usain Bolt, won the gold in the 100m at the London Olympics with a time of 9.63 seconds. With this time he beat his own record which he set in Beijing 2008.

Usain Bolt’s Olympic stats are insane. He won a total of 8 medals. EVERY SINGLE ONE of them was a Gold!

Bolt wins 100m in 2012

STUMP STORY OF THE DAY✍️

With As Little Disrespect As Possible…The White Sox Are Bad! Real Bad!

A couple games away from breaking records, these White Sox are in rough shape!

Let’s talk numbers here for a second! The White Sox just lost to the Minnesota Twins, the final score was 13-7. It was an ugly series to say the least as the Sox got swept. Nobody likes getting swept right. UGLY.

Well it gets just a bit uglier. Just a little bit. The White Sox have now been swept by the Pirates, Rangers, Mariners, Royals (twice), and the Twins! CONSECUTIVELY! (As in ‘IN A ROW’, ‘BACK TO BACK’, ‘ONE AFTER ANOTHER’)

If you’re not interested in doing the math, I’ll help you out. That’s 20 straight losses! The White Sox are now one game away from tying the AL record for consecutive losses held by the Baltimore Orioles (1988). They are three games back from the modern-day record of 23 losses held by the 1961 Phillies.

Just a tough scene all around. What is manager Pedro Grifol supposed to say? When asked about it he said, “At the end of the day, we’ve lost 20 in a row. That’s painful. That sucks.” Yeah that about sums it up Pedro.

The fellas now have the Oakland A’s on the docket! Talk about two teams that aren’t selling out stadiums! We wouldn’t want it any other way. In order for the White Sox to make history, they have to lose to arguably the second worst team in the league 3 times in a row!

The first game of the series is tonight at 9:40 PM ET! TUNE IN! Do we root for this record or not? I’ve got no clue.
