The White Sox are currently on a 13-game losing streak that has tied their franchise record and the losses truly keep getting weirder and more embarrassing.
On Wednesday night at Wrigley Field, the Sox watched a 5-1 lead evaporate after the sixth inning thanks to two balks, a wild pitch and, eventually, a walk-off home run in the Cubs’ 7-6 victory.
The worst part about it all for former Sox manager, and current Sox pregame/postgame analyst Ozzie Guillen, appears to be that he can’t even eat his McDonald’s in peace anymore without getting trolled over the team’s performance.
Guillen said the McDonald’s he visits has Cubs fans working the counter (Sox fans reading this, feel free to insert your own joke here). That employee has been heckling Guillen during the losing streak.
"People have to understand, we're not just pregame, postgame analysts. Unfortunately, UNFORTUNATELY, I'm a White Sox fan. I am…It's a funny thing. I'm getting paid to get hurt. Some people pay to get hurt."

Look, I kinda feel for Guillen here. Usually McDonald’s is not your first choice for a meal. It’s either an act of quick desperation or a deep craving, and the last thing you want when standing in line to get your Big Mac is to be reminded just how bad your favorite team is.
Times are tough on the South Side. When even McDonald’s is laughing at you, things have fallen too far.
