No Winners Today...Sox and Orioles Suspended in Rainout Game 3-3 (Game 25, '08)

The White Sox may be in first place right now, but they will not be for long if they continue to leave double digit runners on base, with 14 today.  Of all the missed opportunities today, I think it was the missed squeeze bunt by Brian Anderson that bothered me the most, with a foul tip and Orlando Cabrera caught stealing.  I could hardly believe it.

After all was said and done, fans who sat for hours in the cold rain were turned away without a resolution one way or another, and the game will be picked up in the 12th inning at a later date to be determined.  I've never seen that in my life.  The Baltimore Orioles seem to have Bobby Jenks' number since he blew the save again.  Still, the Orioles' closer blew the save as well. Were it not for Juan Uribe going yard in the bottom half of the 11th, the White Sox would have lost this game, and had only themselves to blame.  Inability to execute the save, the squeeze bunt, and coming through in the clutch didn't cost the Sox today, but it will in the future if this continues.  Swisher also had a hard time getting a bunt down for a sacrifice.  I'm glad to see the White Sox are at least thinking about the fundamentals.  Now, I would like to see them execute the fundamentals with consistency.  Perhaps the team needs to make a trip beyond the left field wall, second level to the Fundamentals deck.  Still, Javier Vazquez was fantastic, but will get a no decision.  He gave up only one earned run on four hits. 

The good news is the White Sox are guaranteed to not be rained out for the next six games since they will be played inside domes.  Hopefully they can rack up some more wins.
