The Chicago White Sox's social media team continues to set a standard the players have failed to match on the field.

A day after the White Sox suffered their record-setting 121st loss, their X account joked about using a "neuralyzer" from Men in Black to make everybody forget this season:

The employees handing the franchise's social media accounts steadily became the unsung heroes amid a disastrous season. As Chicago inched toward baseball infamy, the posts became increasingly fatalistic in a tongue-in-cheek way.

The image the account shared after the White Sox lost 4-1 to the Detroit Tigers was a work of art.

The good news for the admin is that only two games remain for the White Sox. Then everyone can shift their focus to the offseason, when hope springs eternal. Even a franchise that lost more games than anybody in history can turn things around with the right additions.

Surely ownership plans on investing in the roster, right?
