The Chicago White Sox are a decent to good team and that's the deal. They just left the bases loaded in the 7th inning and could have broken the game wide open. The team scored two runs to take a slim 5-4 lead, and it is up to the bullpen to close out the game. And, that is not a given. A good team should have had a bigger inning. The Sox had 1 out with the bag loaded. Morel struck out and Brent Lillibridge made the third out. The Sox stranded 3 runners. That is their MO for the year, leaving runners on base. The Sox are making it tough against the pesky Royals who play Chicago tough.
Imagine when a good team ten games over .500 comes in? Given the Sox history, it doesn't look good. But, they'll battle, make it interesting and then lose late. That seems to be the tale of the 2011 Sox. There is time to change that around, but I doubt that will happen. This team underperforms.
