Les White Sox de Chicago atteignent un nouveau niveau de futilité et prolongent leur séquence de défaites à 20 matchs

Beautiful.
I think you guys take one against Oakland, mean it.
>The Chicago White Sox unlocked a new level of futility with Sunday’s 13-7 loss to the Minnesota Twins, making them only the seventh team ever to own a 20-game losing streak. It is the longest losing streak in MLB since the Baltimore Orioles dropped 21 in a row to begin the 1988 season.
>The White Sox (27-87) are one more bad series away from equaling the record of 23 straight losses by the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies. After getting swept by the Twins (62-48), the White Sox continue their trip for a three-game series against another faltering team, the Oakland Athletics.
>Sunday’s game was ugly from the start. Andrew Benintendi failed to capitalize on a bases-loaded opportunity in the first inning. Then second baseman Brooks Baldwin booted a would-be inning-ending grounder in the bottom of the inning.
>By the time Chris Flexen was yanked with two outs in the second, he’d already thrown 70 pitches and was in a seven-run hole.
>Chicago made it a game, cutting an 8-0 score to 8-5 by the seventh inning. It was clawing its way back in the desperate hope of avoiding the infamy of a 20-game skid.
>But as it goes with the White Sox, the latter innings were a mess. They’d been outscored by 44 runs in the seventh innings of games this year, and by 43 runs in the eighth. The comeback bid was for naught, as the Twins tacked on five more.
>Chicago will fly to the Bay Area in hopes of avoiding history. If the White Sox leave Oakland without a win, they’d be in a position to drop a record-setting 24th straight loss in a series opener against their crosstown rivals, the Chicago Cubs.
>With their latest loss, the White Sox fell to 60 games under .500, extending their franchise record.
Another Reinsdorfian effort. Don’t stop now boys
In the words of the great Hawk Harrelson, don’t stop now, boys!
Benny, Sheets, Vaughn, Moncada, and a few other guys should just do the merciful thing and retire. Even Robert is at 0.7 bWAR.
Sox just need to go ahead and let Grifol go and make either third base coach Eddie Rodriguez or advisor Brian Bannister the interim manager. I wouldn’t promote bench coach Charlie Montoya, considering how things went in Toronto with him…
Mets broadcast said it was the second fewest games to reach 60 under .500, behind the 1916 Philadelphia a’s
Yikes. So they play A’s next, 2nd worst team in AL. If they don’t get a win in that series they might never win again.
Betting 1k on them to win tomorrow. They can’t lose 21 in a row right?
Sorting the Majors by record, 20 teams are closer to first place (14 games or fewer) than the Shite Sox are to 29th place (14.5 games).
Looking at the worst teams of the modern era, 114 games in, they are three games behind the ‘62 Mets and the 2003 Tigers, and ahead of only the 1916 Athletics, who have the lowest winning percentage of any team since 1900 (36-117, 0.235).
Maybe they should start doing the wave
I’m so tired.
