Well if there was ever a must win game in the middle of August, tonight was just that.  Buehrle gave the White Sox 7 strong innings and the offense just wiped Carl Pavano’s mustache all over the field.  If we got swept tonight we would have been 6 back but now we are just 4 back and still have a shot at the Central Division with 41 games to go.

Give the Twins credit for continuing to roll and taking 2 out of 3 to extend their lead.  This was a series that the Sox could have swept and absolutely should have taken 2 out of 3 but of course it was the Fucking Pirhanas that we just can’t beat.  It doesn’t matter if we are playing on shitty carpet or in a nice new stadium, we don’t beat the Twins in Minneapolis.  I’m still having nightmares about Thome hitting the walk off on Tuesday night…..it was one of those losses that left me not wanting to talk to anybody on Wednesday….I think I said a total of 9 words at work.  What is done is done and it is time to move on.

Everybody knew the White Sox were not going to continue their 25 out of 30 pace.  Hopefully we have gone through our cold steak over the last 10 days and can start playing better baseball.  The Twins are playing great baseball but there is no way they can keep this pace up.  If we can stay within 3 games when they come to Chicago in mid-September, we can win this division.
