Thin Air?
We heard excuses about thin air all spring long when White Sox pitchers would get pounded. What's their excuse after yesterday's debacle?
Jose Contreras gave up seven earned runs in one inning of work. That is seven earned runs with just three outs recorded, and he allowed four hits, including a homerun to Grady Sizemore, before he recorded the first out of the game. Is the Chicago air to thin?

I guess the positive is that the game only counts as one loss out of 162 games to be played, but it sure felt like ten losses. This was an absolute beat down, and it was performed by another division rival. At least Erstad and Konerko homered. The bullpen did not look too terrible, but we have got to get see better performances from the starting pitchers than we saw this spring, or this is going to be a very long season.
