History watch thread

The Chicago White Sox are at 120 losses.
One more would give them the new record for most losses in a single season since 1900, a 124 year record broken.
We will be witnessing something no one's ever seen before. It's mind blowing.
>>
>white sox vs angels
it's either going to be a slurpfest or cringekino
>>
>>144653898
Do we have an updated baseball reference printout of all the all-time dogshit teams? I remember it posted a few weeks/months ago they were statistically the absolute worst, except for some inflated Manfredball stats like steals that might trick somebody into thinking they weren't the definitive worst team of all time
>>
>>144653954
I would be interested in seeing these stats as well
For a team about to shatter the record because there's still 6 games left including this one and plenty to lose, see where they fall on those stats if they're 30th in the league not just this season but all time even. I think somehow run differential isn't the worst of all time. But there is still 6 games to go.

And loss count

>>144654047
Spiders played most of their games on the road and were a quasi-barnstorming team. The blow sox play in a perfectly level and scheduled league kek
>>
>>144654093
Yep the white sox have no excuses whatsoever
The 1962 Mets were a newly started expansion team that had nothing

It's truly never before seen what has transpired this season. The most history of histories possible.
>>
Friendly reminder that the Mets only played 160 games in 1962. The White Sox need to lose 122 to have a worse record.
>>
>>144654220
They'll have the overall losses and the percentage losses and the weighted losses and the balanced losses and every other losses you can think of
>>
Are the 2024 White Sox the worst offense in the history of the entire sport?
>>
>>144654304
Worst overall? Probably. Although funnily enough the Mariners have a worse team batting average
>>
>>144654061
they can't get to 134 losses
>>
>>144654220
the '62 Mets were an expansion team and there was no expansion draft, they were fielding a team of amateurs and minor leaguers
>>
>0-0 in the 5th
Yep that sounds about right

Not a shutout for 121

Not like this

BOOOOOOO FUCK YOU ANGELS
Oh well, still have an entire series against Detroit

History night over. For now...

they haven't scored that fuck up by lopez an error yet.

we'll take care of things >:3

>first win this season when trailing after the 7th
well that's some sort of history
>>
>>144653951
Wonder what the o/u on errors is.
>>
>>144656123
damn right you will. team fighting for a wild card spot is the exact perfect team to play in last games of season.
>>
>>144656123
I can't wait for the Tigers to get 3 free wins vs the sox to make it into the wildcard and watch all the rest of the teams complain how unfair it was
>>
>>144656277
What's all the AL Central record vs the White Sox?
>>
>>144654244
no they wont'
>62 Mets: 40/160 = 0.250
>24 Sox: 40/162 = 0.247
they need to go 40 and 122 to be worse.
>>
>>144656551
Well there's still 5 games and they only need 2 more losses to 122
>>
>>144656581
oh I fully believe they will accomplish it, it's just 121 is the "loss record" not the historically bad record like everyone keeps saying. if they don't lose more than 121 they will have had a better season than the 62 mets.
>>
So do White Sox fans want to actually see history or would they rather the team win the last 5 in a row and just stay tied?
>>
>>144656515
Guardians: 8-5
Tigers: 9-1 (3 remaining)
Royals: 12-1
Twins: 12-1
>>
>>144657031
12-1 incoming
Does the rest of the league complain after this year is over?
>>
>>144657087
Is there more complaining if the Royals/Tigers/Twins get BTFO of the playoffs, or if one of them makes the World Series?
>>
>>144657117
BTFO. World Series proves they're good teams who just happened to be next to a shit one. BTFO means they were only there because of beating up on Chicago.
>>
>>144656891
From someone who was at the game tonight, see history. The stadium actively cheered when the angels scored their runs. During “take me out to the ball game” half the crowd sang “root, root root for the angels.”. Chants of “121!” and “sell the team” throughout. It was the largest crowd I’ve seen at a Sox game in months.
>>
personally i find this whole thing very sad
>>
>>144660624
What else could it be? It's not a good look for the entire league as well

bros not only do I think the sox are going to beat the anglels one more time, but I also think they're going to sweep the tigers and prevent them from making the playoffs all just so they avoid losing 121, its just how this shit works

If that happens there will be simulaneous riots in both South Chicago and Detroit.
>>
>>144671642
Remember when they were about to break the longest losing streak record but then only ended up tying it?
If this shit happens again..

but no, there's literally no way. The tigers would have to either choke like no team's ever choked before or they're in on it and throwing away games. Even if those 2 are true, this team still wouldn't win

There's just no way.
>>
So is this a drawing point for the team? Are fans showing up just to watch them make history?
>>
>>144671682
Is there another reason to show up for this putrid trash masquerading as a baseball team?
>>
>>144671682
guess not. They drew 18k tonight and about the same yesterday. They've been steady in the 15K range all season. Oakland has had crowds under 5000 this year and they're better than both of these crap teams.

I conscientiously made the decision last year to not go to a single game and give these fucks any money anymore
and I used to go to plenty a year because I live right by them
I stick by my decision but was tempted to go these past 2 days. Good thing I didn't. But there's still tomorrow for me to argue internally with myself again

As a mariners fan I would be thrilled. As a Sox fan I would be furious.

But surely our bullpen will blow a 5 run lead? They've done it so many other damn times before

the fuck are you talking about?

In terms of total loss percentage they need to lose out, but if they win today, they won't get it

who gives a shit, worst team in 100+ years still. ye olde tyme "baseball" standings are a meme anyway thanks to zero parity.

>>144679973
True. But they'll still need to lose 2 more for that
which can happen at detroit very likely
>>
And it is complete
a shutout too
120 still, and 123 is the max losses possible
This didn't seem likely at all

Nah, White Sox jinxed themselves by playing the Anglels. Tigers will make things right.

121 WILL happen tonight and it will happen in Comerica
