Just Not Enough as White Sox Lose to Tigers 5-2 (Game 9, '08)

The pitching was not great.  Contreras could have done better than his four earned runs over six and a two-thirds innings.  Logan could have been better.  But at the same time, four hits and two runs with a total inability to do anything against the mighty Jason Grilli isn't good enough either.  The pitching, the offense...nothing was working for the White Sox tonight, who in my opinion really miss something with Swisher and Pierzynski out of the lineup. Sure, I realize AJ needs some time off, especially against tough lefties.  I know they were facing the erratic Dontrelle Willis, who seems to have developed 'the thing' in recent times.  I also know Swisher did get in for an at bat as the DH when Thome was tossed.  Still, I cannot wait to see both Pierzynski and Swisher in their normal spots tomorrow.  AJ is our hottest hitter, and we really could have used his offense tonight.  I just chalk this up as a game in which we simply got beat.  We have to go get em' tomorrow.
