Stop the presses!!!
The Chicago White Sox won a game.
The South Siders snapped an AL tying 21-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory over the Oakland A's. Andrew Benintendi and Zack Gelof homered for the Chisox while starting pitcher Jonathan Cannon gave up only one run over six innings pitched.
The win prevented the White Sox from surpassing the 1988 Baltimore Orioles for the worst losing streak in AL history. It was the team's first win in nearly a month last prevailing on July 10th in the first game of a doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins.
Since the Chisox last won a game there has been an attempted assassination of a former U.S. President while the sitting U.S. President opted not to seek re-election.
Tonight's victory "improves" the team's record to 28-88.
Things can't get much worse for the Chisox. Or can they?
If a lot can happen in 21 games, then just imagine what could happen with 46 games left.
