Slumping Sox

The White Sox are stumbling badly. As of this post, they have lost 9 of the 11 games since the All-Star break, including a recent three-game sweep by the Minnesota Twins at U.S. Cellular Field. That sweep hurt, because the Twins have climbed all the way back from a huge hole to tie the Twins in the AL Centrla standings, and have also allowed the New York Yankees to take the AL Wild Card Lead. At this rate, I think even the Cubs could whoop up on the White Sox!

So how bad was that Twins sweep? Very bad. We're not seeing typical (typical being last year and early this year) White Sox baseball. Whereas the Twins made ridiculously amazing defensive plays, the Sox could not.



Whereas the Twins ran the bases well, the Sox did not.



Even the always-opinionated manager Ozzie Guillen was at a loss of words as what was going on with his club!
