White Sox Rewind: Week Five
Record For Week: 6-0. Record for season: 24-7. First place, AL Central, still the best team in baseball and believe it or not, the national media is taking notice. Shit, there was even an article about the Ozzman himself in the Old Grey Rag.
The Good: The creative ways this team finds to win games never ceases to amaze me. If you can't hit against a closer with a funny name who can't find the strike zone, just let him walk you with the bases loaded. I'm not sure if Paul Konerko subscribes to Mark Grace's slumpbuster theory or not, but he sure woke up over the weekend. Nice to see Jermaine Dye stroking as well.
Jon Garland pitched like the 2004 Jon Garland on Saturday and still walked away a winner.
The Bad: Juan Uribe botching routine plays in the finale against Toronto. Other than that, can't really bitch.
Ahead: At Tampa Bay, 5/9-5/11. Vs Baltimore, 5/12-5/15.
Thoughts: The Devil Rays suck, but always seem to give the Sox fits when they square off at the Trop. Baltimore's out in front in the AL East and wil provide a true test for the team as to if they can truly hang with the big dogs. More importantly with gorgeous weather on tap for the later part of this week, this is a true test to see if Sox fans will start showing up.
