I didn't like Konerko's reaction after he popped up for the last out, but he
played a good game.
As a whole, this isn't looking good at all. Losing this series to Cleveland
and then expecting abysmal attendance forthcoming with the Twins in town,
doesn't look like a good prospect. If they can fend off Cleveland and the
Twins and then go to Cleveland for the last three games and both gain
playoff spots, it most certainly would be an exciting year. Especially
considering the possibility of even another series during postseason with
Cleveland. It would actually be somewhat historical if they both claimed a
playoff spot while playing in Cleveland.
The Sox are going to have to start taking the advantage of the leads,
otherwise playing from behind might just end their season, rather quickly. I
didn't like the home plate umpiring calling pitches that certainly were
strikes, but that's how the umpire calls it. Good pitching and winning
depends on good calls by the umps. He even "preferred" to make the check
swing calls, rather than by request of the catcher. He was - as far as I was
concerned overbearing and dictating to much of the game..
I look forward to tomorrow's game. I'm concerned about the attendance during
the late season's midweek games, but I expect the White Sox to show up
prepared and pissed.

Tough loss sums it up well. Good game, well fought. Great clutch hits
by the Tribe.

I was impressed by the Tribe's offense from what I observed in the
Spring Training stats. Good thing for the Sox that the Tribe started
out so poorly, and that the Sox dominated them early.

Hopefully Buehrle and Garland can pitch well, and the Sox pull out a
series win.

Congratulations though to the Indians. They're are the hottest team in
MLB and perhaps the best offense.

So much for the AL Central being the worst division in MLB.

Konerko's reaction was because he was sitting on that pitch and missed it.
1/32 of an inch between the popup and a three run homer.
