No Offense Again as Sox Lose to Jays 2-0 (Game 28, '08)


It is a shame such nice pitching performances like the one the White Sox got from Mark Buehrle was wasted, as he surendered just 5 hits and no earned runs, the two that scored resulting ultimately from an error by Joe Crede.  But that wasn't the story of this game.  Errors happen.  When a team consistently cannot get hits with runners in scoring position or just hits in general, it doesn't matter how good the pitching is.  So far this season, the White Sox pitching has been much better than expected.  The offense not so.  I really thought with Swisher and Cabrera, the White Sox added enough to make a difference. I'm not sure it ultimately will.  To Cabrera's credit, he got the only two hits in the ballgame.  As for the offense, it's getting to the point where I expect them to strike out, pop up, or ground into a double play when a runner somehow gets on base.  I hope the White Sox themselves are not feeling as I am because if they are, they're in trouble.  They are professionals, but they are human too.  Each day is a new game to get something done, but I feel like what I'm seeing offensively with this team is deja vu all over again...
