Not Looking Good
The Sox have lost 3 of 4 since Friday. They dropped 2 out of 3 over the weekend, and lost a tenth inning heart breaker tonight. Things are not looking good right now.
The pitching and defense have been awful. In the weekend series, Kansas freaking City was able to tally 17 runs in 3 games. On Friday night, 5 KC runs were unearned thanks to craptastical defense. Tonight's game was even worse. Jon Garland dominated the Boston lineup all night long. Then, Bobby Jenks came in and walked the leadoff batter, Manny Ramirez, on four pitches. Ramirez is now 0 for 3 against Jenks with 3 strikeouts and 1 walk over his career. Naturally, Ramirez eventually scored, and Brandon McCarthy took the loss when he allowed Carlos Pena to homer in the tenth.
Basically, these guys completely suck right now. Minnesota and Detroit are not playing very well either, so one hot streak could still win the division. Of course, one cold streak would likely end the White Sox chances of making the playoffs, and it looks like they are much closer to a losing streak than they are to a winning one.
Oh yeah, Javier Vazquez pitches tomorrow. Glory days are here again. I feel like the heckling Indians fan in Major League. "Wild thing! Hey mister choke thing."
