Forks

Put a fork in the Sox - they're done.

For me, the entire season cam down to the 5th inning of friday night's game against the Minnesota Twins. With the Sox up 3-0, 2 runners on base and 2 outs, Konerko hit a deep drive that just missed being a home run. It wound up being an out. So instead of going into the 6th inning up 6-0 ( at least), Vazquez enters the 6th up only 3-0... guess what happens... another meltdown and the Twins score 4 runs. The Sox lose 5-4 and then promptly drop saturday's game as well. As if all this weren't enough, Manager Oz's consistent misuse of his players in the line-up is maddening. He plays sPod (why?), won't put McCarthy in the starting rotation, won't put in a hot Anderson against lefties... What's going on here? The Sox fan in me wants to scream out in pain, but the Chicago baseball fan in me remembers a lifetime of losing seasons, and then 2005 and I really don't care what happens any more. Plus, football season is right around the corner...
