For the 2010 White Sox to win the central they need to find a DH that can hit. They need to find a way to beat the Twins. Hawk Harrelson can't blame this 3 game losing streak on the dome. The fact of the matter is the Twins have a world of confidence when they play Ozzie's nine. The turning point of the series was in game two when Dayan Viciedo did not turn the double play to get Gavin Floyd out of an inning that had 6 Twinkies crossing home plate. We haven't seen Viciedo play the field since that gaff. When the Sox are counting on a 43 year old player to play 3B this team has problems. Kotsay is such a weak hitter. I would feel better having Viciedo be your full time DH until we can get a real power hitter. Will Mark Teahan get another shot at third this year?
Paul Konerko looks tired. I wish he never went to the All-Star game. He could have used the rest.
As for Bobby Jenks blowing the 3 run lead in the 9th all you can say is it happens. He and J.J. Putz have been a great one two punch all year.
Now off to Seattle for 3. We need to take 2 of 3 but should get a sweep. With the Tigers falling to the Indians this weekend the big MO is in Minnesota's favorite. The Twins are doing this without there All-Star firstbaseman and All-Star closer in Joe Nathan.
How soon till where hear about Ozzie and Kenny fighting again? Can this team come back for 3 big losses? Still a long way to go in the season but I hate to be on that plane heading to Seattle.
I wonder if deep down, a lot of the All Stars would prefer a three day rest rather than the barrage of media spotlight?

ReplyDeleteI am sure most players would love the 3 days away. Can you imagine hanging and living with the same guys since late Feb?
