Going Full White Sox - The 2024 Chicago White Sox, a historic tale of futility (39-121 record)

I'm more surprised that the Angels have never had a 100-loss season. They've been a pretty big joke for a long while now, even recognizing that the Sox are a bigger punchline this season.

That is kind of surprising, as they have been around a pretty long time, I wonder how many other teams can say that


Edit: After some quick research, it would appear that the Angels are the only current franchise that hasn't had a 100 loss season ever

Even for a fairly young team that's crazy, usually the expansion teams are good for at least 100 loss year in the first 2-3 seasons. It seems like the ownership has always been ok with at least spending some money and never completely tanking, maybe they feel some obligation since they usually draw pretty good crowds historically

It’s a lot harder to lose 100 games with the talent leveled out the way it is, unless you’re doing it on purpose.

I was looking at how long it's been since teams lost 100. The Phillies history is inept but they haven't since 1961. The Mets 1965, the Braves in 88. The Cardinals, Dodgers, and Yankees before World War 1. It doesn't happen as often as I thought.

The worst thing is because of stupid nonsense the Sox aren't even rewarded with good pick out this year

Fitting it came against the last team that had a chance to break that barrier in the Tigers given they lost 119 games like 2 decades ago.
