Chicago White Sox -- Worst team in modern times?

[orioles70]

I am an Orioles fan since 1969 and have been thru both very good times and very bad times. The Orioles beat the White Sox yesterday 13-3 to make them 31-108 on the season.

So just how bad are the White Sox?
I have been following their miserable season since the All-Star break and will put it in perspective as an Oriole fan.
Oriole fans certainly remember the 1988 season when they started 0-21!
Well, even after that record setting pitiful start the Orioles would be 18 games ahead (49-90) of this White Sox team thru 139 games!! And the Orioles play in arguably the toughest division in baseball. This White Sox team has 23 games remaining...it would take a season ending 23 game win streak for them to equal the 54 wins of the 1988 Orioles...the team that started 0-21. Yes, this White Sox team is bad...really, really bad...and is likely the worst team since the start of World Series play in 1903.
Now that I have said that the Sox will probably beat the O's in the next 2 games.

And let's not forget the White Sox made the playoffs just 3 years ago by winning the AL Central with 93 wins under Tony La Russa...this team got bad really fast.

If they go 10-11 their last 21 games, they'll finish higher than the 1962 Mets.

Let's dig up the Spiders and let them have a go!

Of note with the Mets loss record is the fact that the Mets were an expansion team that year....cobbled together with scraps made available in the expansion draft by other teams. The White Sox built this team on purpose.
