Texsox Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Currently at 7 games. Sox record 15 AL record 21 MLB record 23 It's a long way to go but the lack of give a s%*#, offensive, and bull pen makes it all possible. They really don't need much to go wrong. Just keep playing like the past couple weeks and by the middle of May it could be a historic season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My HS football team did that. We had a losing streak that lasted like 6 years. When they finally won a single game during my senior year (literally the only game they won all year) they had TIED for the longest losing streak. It's since been broken though...

Texsox Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 They made #8 look easy. That's more than half way. A couple milestones are coming up. One is not made up. Saturday- Double Digit Losing Streak Day the team will bring in their all time doubles leaders of Thomas, Appling, Konerko, Fox, Baines, Abreu, Collins, Minoso, Durham, and Falk. Not to throw out first pitches, but to play on one day contracts. They lose in the 10th when they collectively said "f*** this man on second s%*#. In our day we actually hit doubles to get on base" and walked off. Sunday - Swept for Three Series Day first 1,000 fans receive and Libman broom. Actually only 132 fans are in attendance, all wearing Jay's gear receive brooms. The rest JR sells on eBay. The money will be spent. May 5 - Fitting Tribute Game. Most remaining fans who want to watch the team tie the all time Sox losing streak mark will not be able to because the game is only on Apple+.

ScootsMcGoots Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I really just want them to keep losing. Just really burn it to the ground. I would much rather have this than a team that very annoyingly hovers around .500 for the year and won't go anywhere. At least with this we know who they are. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have Jewel sponsor paper bag day fans can wear over their heads during the game.

Somewhere Tony and Leury are doing shots and Yes, 13 is the most consecutive games the White Sox lost within a single season (1924) through 2022. The White Sox lost five straight games to end the 1967 season, and ten more to start the 1968 season. If anyone has a good website source for most consecutive series losses, or for accurate team GM/Top Baseball Executive records before 1950, I would appreciate any link(s). I’ve only found one 8 consecutive series loss streak in the 2000s. My previous tracker included both series losses and splits. Also, I would like to update my Hahn All Time GM 10 plus year standings for pre 1950 seasons. Hahn would be buried far further down the list expanding seasons since 1950, but I cannot find consolidate accurate information within a single source. It’s possible a few Saint Louis Browns GMs, and possibly other team GMs were even worse than Hahn for over a decade, but I don’t want to update the list without certainty for all 16 teams pre-1950. The role evolved over the years, so some teams had a formally named GM, whereas others had a team Owner, President, Secretary and/or Field Manager serve in this role.

I was 7 years young and blissfully unaware during the 1968 steak. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Most of us were alive in 2013 when Robin Ventura and newly promoted Rick Hahn lead the White Sox to a ten game losing streak and a 63-99 record. The Sox scored 18 total runs, or 1.8 per game for the mathematically challenged. wo = Walk off loss. July 26 vs. Kansas City (86-76) 5-1 July 27 vs. Kansas City 1-0 July 28 vs. Kansas City 4-2 (12) July 29 at Cleveland (92-70) 3-2 wo July 30 at Cleveland (92-70) 7-4 July 31 at Cleveland 6-5 (10) wo August 1 at Cleveland 6-1 August 2 at Detroit (93-69) 2-1 August 3 at Detroit 3-0 August 4 at Detroit 3-2 (12) wo If the Sox win tonight, there are still a few other streaks they are embarked on that are still in play. I’ll elaborate further as events unfold. So don’t lock this thread and perhaps remove the “promotions” bit as may have been created as a thread to post joke ideas for promotions, but this can be used (or also be used) to discuss the various streaks the Sox are currently undergoing in one singular thread.
