They could avoid it for only so long.
After a mini winning streak staved off history for a few days, the Chicago White Sox finally succumbed to their 121st loss of the season, the most by a team in modern MLB history.
The record came in a 4-1 defeat to the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.
\"I think the frustration has been long before the number,\" interim manager Grady Sizemore said afterward. \"Again, I think it is one of those things where you are not happy, regardless, but I don\'t know that I would feel any different if we were at 115 or 110. It\'s still a frustrating year.\"
