The White Sox got shutout for already the 2nd time this season on Wednesday. Jose Contreras pitched well for about 4 innings then seemed to lose his control, walking two in one inning then throwing, what should have been an outside corner pitch, right down the middle. Polanco crushed a double (that would have been a homer in any other park) that scored the first 2 of 9 runs for the Tigers.
The White Sox offense struggled against an impressive pitching performance by Armondo Galaraga, who has an ERA under 1 in two outings this year. I have to admit I like how Galaraga doesn't have overpowering stuff, but he mixes speeds and locations, and most importantly throws strikes.
The White Sox left runners on 3rd with less than two outs twice in the ballgame. They are batting .245 as a team in 2009 with 0-6 Wednesday with Runners in Scoring Position.
On a lighter note, the bullpen also sucked. (not sure if that is necessarily lighter). They cost the team 6 of the 9 runs, 2 of which were inherited runners. Richard actually recorded an out and MacDougal sucked as usual. I'm betting KW is only keeping him around hoping he will rebound so we can trade him. He even sucks in garbage time.
Next Up: White Sox @ Rays Thursday 7pm EST.
We were 2-15 including the playoffs last year in domes. Claustrophobia??
