White Sox Lose 20 Games in a Row
- The White Sox have faced an unprecedented stretch of 20 consecutive losses.
- This record has left the team and its supporters feeling embarrassed and frustrated.
- The franchise is now being viewed as a laughingstock in the realm of professional baseball.
The Chicago White Sox faced yet another defeat on Sunday, bringing their dismal season record to 27-87. This latest loss has highlighted the team's ongoing struggles, as they now hold the worst record in Major League Baseball, even when excluding their two franchise-record losing streaks. Ozzie Guillen, the team's former World Series-winning manager, pointed out that the White Sox's performance has been historically poor, emphasizing that the team has been around since 1901 and still manages to have a troubling record. Guillen, who has expressed a desire to return as manager, humorously noted that current manager Pedro Grifol is now over 100 games under .500 since taking the helm. His comments were made during a discussion on a local sports show, where he reflected on the team's management decisions and the challenges faced by Grifol. Guillen recalled a conversation with former general manager Rick Hahn, who had indicated that they were looking for a new leader, suggesting that the team was in search of a successor to Guillen himself. The White Sox's struggles extend beyond the field, as they are experiencing a decline in attendance and their television broadcasts, once a highlight, are now considered among the worst in baseball. This combination of poor performance and dwindling fan engagement raises concerns about the future of the franchise and its ability to attract support in a competitive sports market.
