The White Sox are already the worst team of the modern era after losing 121 games this season
History. The Chicago White Sox just made history. Negative, yes true, but history nonetheless. The new record established has surpassed the 62 years of history of the previous achieved by the New York Metsthat only black and white images remain.
And to top it all off, the last match, thanks to which they obtained the record, They lost it to the Tigers who were very close to the Mets in 2003 (losing 119 matches), and that last night they achieved the wildcardto continue fighting for the title, thanks to beating the Sox.
Disbelief in Mets players
The Mets can now laugh with relief
And not even the oldest people in the place, not even the protagonists of that very poor team of ’62, expected that this record could be surpassed. This was confirmed Craig Anderson, 86a member of that team: “I never thought it could be surpassed in my lifetime. It has been like a great weight has been lifted off the shoulders of Mets fans; we are no longer the worst team in history“Craig declared, showing his ironic joy.
The White Sox have used 29 players this season and 17 of them have had negative numbers. And it is that Already in April, the Sox promised “great things” with 3 wins and 32 losses. Then came another record of 21 consecutive losses and the question began to be When were they going to break the Mets’ record, rather than if they were going to break it?.
Their general manager, Chris Getz, has apologized to fans, saying: “They don’t deserve this,” before incredibly stating that They are on the right track to build new things looking ahead to next season, admitting that They will invest more money in the structure of the organization. There are no more questions, Your Honor.
Meanwhile the White Sox…
What we must recognize for the Sox is that they have one of the best community managers of the league that with each defeat of his team he goes viral. Better to take it with humorthey will think; and well they do. Last night after the defeat that gave them the record they posted that tweet in which they read “list of things to do, better than reading the comments” and they were listed: “kill your nerve with a tooth”, “pay taxes”, “eat 5,000 crackers without drinking water”, “take a spoonful of cinnamon”, “put ketchup on a hot dog”, “crawl through of the Sahara desert” or “walking barefoot on train tracks.
The White Sox will finish the season by setting the modern-era baseball record with 39-121 and staying close to the absolute record of the Cleveland Spiders who, in 1899, achieved the not inconsiderable figure of 20-134.
