White Sox Blasted By Fans After One of Most Embarrassing Moments of MLB Season
The Chicago White Sox and their fans can't wait for this season to come to an end. It's not even September yet and the team has already lost 103 games. Earlier this summer they lost 21 straight games. The record for most losses in a season, 120 by the 1962 New York Mets, is in jeopardy of being broken later next month.
It's all just really bad for Chicago's other baseball team.
How could it get even worse? Well, check out what happened during Wednesday night's loss, which was their sixth straight defeat, and you'll see they hit rock bottom yet again. Before the top of the eighth inning, second baseman Lenyn Sosa didn't see the catcher's warmup throw coming at him and got hit right in the face by the ball.
Look at this:

Not great!
Fans had fun roasting the White Sox over that:
Throw was right on the nose!

Play this clip and post the White Sox record each time their owner asks for stadium money from the taxpayers of Illinois. https://t.co/KIGF0Rpfiu

I have never seen a pro sports team this bad. Nailed in the face and robbed of a walk off HR in the same day. By which greatly increasing the odds of being the worst team in MLB history. I don’t know what the fans did to deserve this. Can’t even pick above 10 this year. Atrocious https://t.co/Ick1Q9H64u

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Giving up my #WhiteSox fandom in 2015 was the single greatest decision for my sports mental health https://t.co/eYNIJF7rwG

I’ve never seen an infielder get hit by a catcher’s practice throw before, not even in little league https://t.co/NgD6Rk3q50
