Dead Men Walking
The White Sox look completely lifeless right now. They started the week in Minnesota where the Twins swept them in a series that was reminiscent of the Jamie Burke affair in 2004. They followed that up by dropping game one tonight againt Toronto.
Mark Buehrle threw a two-hitter and still took the loss. Both hits were homeruns hit by Aaron Hill and Frank Thomas. Buehrle has been trying to pick up his one-hundredth career win for his last six starts, but his teammates are not helping him at all.
Adding insult to injury, Darrin Erstad left in the sixth inning with an apparent left ankle injury incurred while swinging the bat. It was the same ankle that has plagued Erstad for the past few seasons. There has been no anouncement as to the severity of the injury or to whom would be called up to replace him. The Sox have already lost both Scott Podsednik and Pablo Ozuna and losing Erstad would leave them with out a viable lead-off hitter.
