The Chicago White Sox may be historically bad, but at least the social media administration has a sense of humor about the entire thing.
Chicago tied the modern MLB record for most losses in a season with a 4-2 loss to the San Diego Padres, the team’s fifth straight defeat. Each of those five losses prompted amusing social media posts.
Tuesday’s 5-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels ended a three-game winning streak and started a five-post laughing streak:
Chicago White Sox @whitesoxNarrator: the White Sox did not win 4 in a row 😑
Chicago White Sox @whitesoxFINAL: the other team scored more runs than us
Chicago White Sox @whitesoxFINAL: the number of runs we scored was not greater than the number of runs they scored

Sometimes we all have to laugh to get through difficult times, and calling the 2024 season difficult for the White Sox would be quite the understatement.
The five-game losing streak against the Angels and Padres dropped their record to 36-120 with just six games remaining. They have been seemingly playing out the string for the majority of the campaign, as it didn’t take long for it to be clear this was not a playoff team.
Chicago started 3-22 and was 27-71 at the All-Star break. As if that wasn’t bad enough, it lost its first 17 games after the All-Star break as things continued to get even worse for the last-place team in the American League Central.
It was part of a 21-game losing streak that tied the American League record and led to the firing of manager Pedro Grifol.
To put things into perspective, the Angels have the worst record in the American League outside of the White Sox, and they have 27 more wins at 63-93. And it will be those Angels who could be on the field when Chicago continues to make history, as the two teams face each other again for a three-game set starting Tuesday.
Sunday’s loss put the White Sox in a tie with the 1962 New York Mets for the most losses in a single MLB season since 1900 with 120.
At least fans know the ensuing social-media post following the record-setting loss will be must-see.
