White Sox add to their indignities by setting franchise record with 107th loss
The Chicago White Sox added to their indignities by setting a franchise record with their 107th loss when they fell 2-0 to the New York Mets
CHICAGO (AP) — It appeared the Chicago White Sox just might get a break from all this losing the way Garrett Crochet was striking out one batter after another at the start.
Then again, these are the White Sox. And in a season full of indignities, they added another to the list — a franchise record for losses in one season.
The number hit 107 when the New York Mets beat them 2-0 on Sunday. And at the rate they're going, the White Sox remain on course to shatter baseball's modern-era mark.
“There's no sense in harping over the record right now,” interim manager Grady Sizemore said before the game. “Our job right now is to try to get a win today. We're trying to just improve on every day and get better as each series goes on. My message has been the same since I got here. It's not about the record. It's not about wins. It's just about competing and playing together as a team.”
