    Watch: Former manager reacts to White Sox 20-game losing streak

    Ozzie Guillen.

    With their 13-7 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Sunday afternoon, the Chicago White Sox became the first team since the 1988 Baltimore Orioles to lose 20 consecutive games in a season. It is a staggering result and highlights just how far the organization has fallen in just a couple of years after reaching the 2021 ALDS.

    As if this losing streak was not bad enough, the White Sox also had a 14-game losing streak earlier in the season to help drop them to a whopping 60 games under .500 in only the first week of August.

    But what is truly staggering about this is that if you eliminated those two historic losing streaks (combining for 34 losses) from their record, the White Sox would still have the worst winning percentage in Major League Baseball this season (.337).

    The White Sox post-game show discussed all of that on Sunday, and former manager Ozzie Guillen seemed to be taking it especially personally.

    Mainly because the White Sox's current manager Pedro Grifol was hired over him three years ago when the team was making a managerial change.

    To sum it up, Guillen is now bitter, sad and embarrassed at his managing ability knowing that the White Sox hired a guy that is now 100 games under .500 for his career over him.

    Honestly, that is probably a pretty appropriate reaction. Especially since Guillen was the manager who helped the White Sox win their first World Series since 1917 when he managed them to the 2005 championship. Instead of bringing him back and trying to recapture that glory, they ended up with this current situation.

    That is not to say the manager is the biggest problem here. The White Sox roster is as bad as it gets in Major League Baseball while the front office and ownership situation seems to be asleep at the switch.

    Maybe they would still be bad with Guillen. At least they might have a little more juice and be somewhat interesting.
