Sox leas 2-1 in the 6th. Could this end tonight?

Up 4-1 now. Looking poised to end the skid.

Nobody beats the White Sox 22 games in a row

[Bobson Dugnutt]

New streak starts tomorrow!

So with the longest losing streak in the MLB era being 23 losses in a row, the White Sox are on a collision course with the Cubs to break that record. 

Dumbass.

White Sox are reducing Season ticket prices starting next year. I wonder how close we are to going back to when you'd get a free White Sox ticket for purchasing a value meal, though I can't remember exactly which chain it was. I think this was back in the mid to early 90s.

We got free sox tickets for perfect attendance in school, K-8.

If you ever needed a reason to skip school, here it is.

It was Wendy’s. Free White Sox ticket when you “biggie size” your meal. I still remember the commercial with Ozzie.

They are, and pretty much have their entire existence, been a pathetic franchise.

The White Sox have lost their 100th game. It's August 25th.

They need to finish 25-6 to avoid setting a franchise record for losses in a season. They need to finish 12-19 to avoid setting a modern (post-1900) major league record for losses in a season.

[Tryptamine]

I really want them to fall below a .235 winning percentage so they can take the lowest percentage in the modern era.

3 years ago they were talking dynasty.

The White Sox offense this year has been historically bad. As a team, they have accrued a team batting fWAR of -5.7. Of the entire roster of players that has batted at least once this year, only Yoan Moncada has a positive fWAR (in 44 total PAs). Everyone else has provided a net negative relative to an average MLB replacement player.

Of all teams tracked on Fangraphs since the dawn of the divisional era (1962), the White Sox have the 3rd worst batting fWAR among all teams, ahead of only the 1977 Braves (-6.6) and the 1979 A's (-9.7).

Their pitching has been bad but not historically terrible, at a 7.6 fWAR, good for 26th in MLB (ahead of MIA, COL, TOR and LAA). So, overall, the team has been worth a net of 1.9 fWAR overall.

The White Sox are now 31-101. To avoid being the first team to lose 121 games in the modern era, they'll have to go 11-19.

I missed it, but apparently the White Sox had a bottom of the 6th for the record books yesterday. It lasted 4 pitches and totaled 94 seconds.

Blame it on the pitch clock!!

After losing both games of the doubleheader, the Sox now sit at 31 and 103. This means they'll now have to go 11-17 or better to avoid losing the most games in modern era. Their WP% is at .231 which is the worst in the modern era.

White Sox are horrible. And unlucky.  But mostly horrible.

 

Check out the top of the 9the in a tied 3-3 game. Two, man on first and second. Kyle Seager bloops one in the short CF. Luis Robert is literally and inch or two from making a sliding catch for the third out.  He doesn't.  Rangers go up 4-3. Then Jankowski in the bottom of the inning.  They are unlucky. But mostly horrible.

Arbitrary end points because it starts with their 21 game losing streak, but they're now 4-36 in their last 40 games.

Any endpoint looks bad. They had a 3-22 July, and have followed it up with a 4-19 August thus far.

[bukie]

The White Sox are 31-49 in games in which they've held a lead. (and thus have played 54 games in which they haven't had a lead of any kind)
