The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly On Our Recent 10 Game Road Trip
Going into this 10 game road trip, I’ll admit that I didn’t expect the White Sox to do very well. We have had trouble with the Indians all year, we always seem to get knocked around by the AL East, and I figured that after playing Boston we would end up splitting the series with the Tigers and stumble home with a 5-5 or 6-4 road trip. The White Sox definitely proved me wrong on that one. Sweeping both the Indians and the Red Sox and starting the road trip 7-0 was about the last thing any White Sox fan expected. We all had so much hope going into Comerica Park to play the Tigers because we have played very well there all season. Going 8-2 or 9-1, possibly even 10-0 was a legit though….. and that’s where the downfall began. We got our hopes up too high and the White Sox helped bring us all back to reality by stumbling out of Detroit with a 1-3 record for the series. Despite going 7-0 over the first 7 games, we managed to fall to 6 games behind the Twins in the division after losing the last 3. (more…)

News and notes:
Miguel Cabrera is day to day with shoulder tendinitis. He says that it hurts to swing but no word on whether he will be out of the lineup tonight. Gordon Beckham says that his hand is ok, one day after it hurting to the point he couldn’t hold a bat. He’s being held out of the lineup again tonight, just like the team did with Paul Konerko yesterday when he said he felt ok, so there’s a good chance Beckham could be in the lineup for the finale against the Tigers.
