Never Really In It...Sox Lose Game and Series to Angels With 2-0 Loss (Game 49, '08)

Weaver said he knows 'where their holes are' when referring to the White Sox lineup.  That doesn't seem to be a too carefully guarded secret, as the White Sox have made several pitchers look like future Hall of Famers, including Jared Weaver.  Basically, any pitcher who can locate their offspeed pitches - curveballs or changeups will dominate the White Sox lineup, who appear only able to hit the fastball.  I have said this before, and I will unfortunately have to say it again - the White Sox must be able to hit something other than a fastball or this will be a very long summer, no matter how good the pitching is.  John Danks, who has had pitiful run support for some reason, getting just seven runs over his past six starts, took the high road and spoke of what he had failed to do - get Vlad out.  And while his 2 earned runs over five innings was not stellar, it was once again, good enough to win with a mediocre offense.  Unfortunately, this offense is less than mediocre.  Were it not for the pitching, this team would already be in the tank.  Hopefully they can salvage one tomorrow.
