White Sox Rewind: Week Three
Record for Week: 7-0. Season: 15-4. (Note to ESPN: The White Sox have the best record in the major leagues. Better than the Red Sox, better than the Yankees, and better than the Cubs. Feel free to stop verbally fellating Terry Francona any time now.)
The Good: This team just keeps on scratching out runs. Seems like they're jumping ahead in the first inning every time. Even when Contreras (Monday) and El Duque (Sunday) bring their "C" game at best, they always seem to come up with the double play when they need it. Cliff Politte was nothing short of awesome out of the pen (4 IP, 1 H, 1 ER in 4 innings of work), setting up for Shingo who at least didn't manage to blow anything this week. Damaso Marte makes a great play covering the plate Saturday night to prevent the winning run from scoring. Pablo Ozuna raps the perfect dribbler down the line to get the win Sunday. Jon Garland dominates the Tigers and works 8 innings without blowing up in any of them Wednesday. Ozzie Guillen owns the sports section above the fold with his crazy [bleeping] quotes. And how about Joltin' Joe Crede?
The Bad: Sox are near the basement in terms of BA with RISP. They've had plenty of chances to crack games wide open and fail. AJ's got a bum toe after being hit by a pitch and is going to miss a few games. Paul Konerko is 1 for his last 11. Jermaine Dye is just flailing at everything. Dustin Hermanson's back is bugging him...and we need him at setup.
Ahead: At Oakland 4/25-4/27, vs Detroit 4/29-5/1.
Thoughts: We never play well at the Mausoleum in Oakland. Ever. To take one game out there will be a monumental accomplishment, two would be a miracle, and three would signal that it's time for the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse to come riding in. If we sweep Oakland, The Cell better be packed Friday night--I don't give a rat's ass how cold it is.
