The Chicago White Sox losing streak now stands at a pathetic 21 games...
The Chicago White Sox lost to the Oakland Athletics on Monday night, the latest indignity in what has a chance to be the worst season in the history of baseball.
The 5-1 defeat pushed the White Sox to 27-88 on the year, having lost 21 straight games, which ties some dubious American League history.What has happened with the White Sox has been an embarrassment to the organization and to the sport. Now, the White Sox haven't actively tanked, but they've been a victim of a massive rebuild mixed with some poor health.
The White Sox were already destined for a tough year, but then they traded away Dylan Cease, Aaron Bummer and Gregory Santos in the offseason. They signed veterans this offseason like Paul Dejong and Tommy Pham, only to move them at the trade deadline, along with Eloy Jimenez and Erick Fedde. They have also dealt with continued injury problems to Jimenez, Luis Robert Jr. and Yoan Moncada, with each of those players having missed several games this season.
The streak can't last forever but for now, it's hard to see the positive in anything for this group. They'll get the next chance to break the streak on Tuesday night when they take on the A's once again.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
