MLB: The Chicago White Sox suffer their 121st loss of the season as the Detroit Lions reach the playoffs

The Chicago White Sox broke the modern record for most losses in a Major League Baseball season with their 121st loss in 2024.

They achieved the unwanted milestone with a 1:4 defeat at the Detroit Tigers.

“It's not the year we wanted,” said Grady Sizemore, who took over as interim manager after Pedro Grifol was fired in August.

Pitcher Garrett Crochet said, “Obviously it sucks.”

The White Sox tied the New York Mets' 1962 record on Sunday with their 120th loss of the season.

Fans flocked to Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago this week to watch the White Sox break the record, but they won three straight games against the Los Angeles Angels.

The win for Detroit at Comerica Park secured them their first American League playoff spot since 2014.

After the game, the White Sox posted a picture on social media of a computer with a list of “Things We'd Rather Do Than Read Comments” and a photo of the team mascot sitting against a wall with the caption, “Slams laptop.” to tomorrow”.
