8/22 Sox Suck
Detroit has been doing everything in their power to lose to the White Sox. The Sox have amassed 12 hits and have reached on 3 errors over the last 2 days. Yet, they only have one run scored to show for it. The culprit? Poor hitting with runners on base, particularly with 2 outs.
Poor starting pitching has contributed as well. Jose Contreras gave up 7 earned runs in the first 5 innings of game 1 on Monday. Last night, Mark Buehrle allowed 4 earned runs in 5.1 innings pitch. The starters have been wild in the zone both up and over the middle of the plate, a lethal combination.
The Sox now trail Detroit by 7.5. It is probable time to focus more on the Wild Card standings since this team seems incapable of catching Detroit. With Minnesota's loss to Baltimore, Chicago's Wild Card lead remains at .5 a game.
