Who would a thought the White Sox would drop 3 out of four in Minnesota and 2 of three in Kansas City.  They also find themselves in second place for the first time since May.  It is a good thing the Sox have a must needed day off after all of that ugliness we saw on that last road trip. Ken Griffey Jr did provide an immediate impact but even he was not able to overcome the lack luster pitching we have seen from the Sox lately.  Well actulally their pitching was not as horrible as the defense playing behind them as many errors were comiited on this road trip that did not help us either.

It really can not get much worse after this, or can it?  I say this right now The White Sox will either break out of all of the bad habits that have been plaguing the SOx lately or this latest trend will cause the sinking of this team.  I really hope I am wrong and the Sox make some new noise coming in this next home stand.  Griffey will bring a  spark at the stadium that should help provide some extra blood flow from the fans and players as we begin our next series against Detroit.  Another thing Gavin Floyd who was one of our lone stars on this last road trip will be starting off the home stand on Tuesday.  This first game is a good way to set the tone for these next 10 home games.  The Sox do have a strong record at home and we will have to be nearly perfect at home as the Twins have been a hot team and are currently not appearing to slow down with the addition of Liriano to their rotation. In addition if you do not win two or three games against Detroit you are welcoming them right back into the race.  This is a good shot for the Sox to bury the Tigers before they feel as thou they too are on a roll making this race a three team race as opposed to just two.

I am not loosing hope on this team and all of the Sox faithful should not either.  We still can win this thing it just has to start now.  We also are 2 games behind in the Wild Card so we cannot afford a bad August to put us further behind that as well.  It all has to turn around now as the team has got to leave all of that hot anger and frustration from Kansas City at the door when we start this homestand.  This homestand will make or break this 2008 White Sos team I guarantee it.  Lets Get Going Right Now!
