Chicago White Sox lose 20th consecutive game as MLB world reacts

The Chicago White Sox are nearing unchartered territory and MLB futility. One of the worst teams of the modern era fell to the Minnesota Twins by the score of 13-7 on Sunday. It represented Chicago’s 20th consecutive loss and dropped the White Sox to a pathetic 27-87 on the campaign .

They are now on pace to go 50-112, which would be among the worst records in modern MLB history. How long is Chicago’s current losing streak? The team has not won since coming out on top against the very same Twins back on July 10 .

The Opening Ceremony of the Summer Olympics had not been conducted. We were roughly two weeks away from POTUS Joe Biden dropping out of the pesidential race. The MLB trade deadline was 10 days away. Meanwhile, a half-dozen White Sox players have been dealt since.

It’s absolutely insane that Chicago is in the midst of a losing streak that represents north of 12% of its schedule. You simply can’t make this stuff up.
