The Chicago White Sox have had a dreadful year and those bad vibes hit a new low Tuesday night when they lost to the last-place Kansas City Royals in embarrassing fashion.
In case you missed it, the bases were loaded in a tie game in the bottom of the ninth inning when White Sox reliever Gregory Santos did the unthinkable—he got called for a balk, which brought home the winning run for the home team.
This isn’t the first time the White Sox have done something this season that had MLB fans roasting them, and it might not be the last, because there is still a bunch of baseball left. But this was pretty bad:

Wildly, this was the second time this season the Royals have won with a balk-off.
MLB fans crushed the White Sox:
Forfeit the season. Just stop playing games. https://t.co/4GmBXIedUp

I’ll say this as a person who recently went to a White Sox game, I never in my life seen a team purposely throw games away the way they do. https://t.co/F8YCXin0Cy

There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING the Cardinals can do that will frustrate me more than what the White Sox do.

A walk off BALK?
Never mind blowing a 6-0 lead to the Royals.
