Years from now we'll be suffering a tough loss and tell the youngins, you think this is bad? In my day we had the 2023 Sox before the new owners moved them to Charlotte. 

This losing streak is OVAH!

Most games between winning streaks and two series streaks (consecutive series lost and consecutive series without a win) remain intact. I will provide an update on these three streaks before the game on Tuesday.

Savor the next two days White Sox Fans.

The First Streak ends at twenty-nine with a White Sox win on Tuesday (7-22), or will continue to thirty-one games with a loss (8-23). The remaining two series streaks depend on results of the scheduled three game series with Minnesota.

All three streaks have been updated to include all games and series played by the Chicago White Sox since the advent of Divisional Play. If someone can provide a source and link to automatically years prior to 1969, I will included these seasons as well.

Tony La Russa was involved in six of the eighteen streaks noted below, the most of any manager. Also of note, the 1970 White Sox played a half a season without winning a series. Would love to know if that is the longest streak in the history of MLB.
