Some fans are always confident that the Sox will overcome, turn it around and make it to the playoffs. They will feel this until the Sox are mathematically eliminated, no matter how flat they look and how bad they are playing.

Far too often this season, they have been playing like they've dropped dead. This includes play in the stretch run of a pennant race. How could they be so down? I don't know, but they sure have been.

Ouch! That would hurt.

AJ wants to be the hero too much. He took way too big of a swing, with predictable results. Call his problem "Fusitis".

And 2-3 years from now, you might add Teahen, Gordon, Butler, Hochevar to that list.

Those two guys are reasons that I'm not entirely optimistic about his team's future. Both of them are old players and could go down with major injuries at any time. Plus, skills tend to diminish at their ages.

I think the Sox won't make it to the playoffs for the same reasons I've thought that for weeks: 1. The Sox are behind the Twins and Tigers in the race. 2. The Sox are a worse team than the Twins and the Tigers. Bot the Twins and Tigers have proven themselves to be bette teams this year. And they have been considerably better in the stretch run.

Nice!

I'm not jumping, but I think this Sox team is.

Yes. But I think frustration makes me post more.

Ok Greg Hibbard, tell us how everything is going to be fine.

More great in-game decision making by Ozzie.

Gload is a crappy OFer. In all honesty, he might be a little worse defensively than Pods. But Gloads is soooooooo much better of a hitter, that he would definitely be an improvement in LF.

I'd say 83%, but that number drops with every batter he faces.

That didn't take long. AJ is our most overrated player.

Yeah, you'll tell us...only if the Sox win.

Get used to it. This is your 2006 Chicago White Sox.

...or a loss.

The latter. Not every mistake loses the game. Ozzie put in the wrong pitcher and he got the team in trouble. Then he put the right pitcher in and the right pitcher got us out of trouble. That doesn't mean Ozzie did the right thing by starting with Hermanson.

I can't believe the Angels still do that rally monkey thing.

To pitch batting practice for the Angels.

They're too good.

Cheerleading 301 is in full effect.

No, Buehrle served up a meatball and Anderson floated it into shallow left center. Yes, he is a son of a b****.

Buehrle should be a chef in an Italian restaurant.
