The shadows of late summer reached the pitchers mound at the end of today's Chicago White Sox game against the surging Boston Red Sox on Chicago's South Side.Funny, when the White Sox were marching to the 2005 World Series championship, I didn't notice those shadows. And I overlooked them when the South Siders swept the then-defending World Champion Red Sox in the '05 Division Playoff Series.
About a week ago, the White Sox entered last place in American League Central, behind the consistently hapless Kansas City Royals. And based on this weekend's series, it looks like the Sox are in last to stay, making this Royals fan happy.
The Red Sox made it into double-digit run territory in each game of the four game series. The combined run total for the four games were Red Sox 46-White Sox 7. Needless to say, Boston won each game.
Earlier in the season, parts of the White Sox were on. They'd hit, but their bullpen would fail. The starting pitching would soar, but they didn't hit...
This weekend, the White Sox failed on all cylinders.
Tomorrow afternoon in a make-up game, the South Siders play the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, who are in last place in the AL East. Now that's the kind of competition we can handle.
Maybe.
