Nothing Working Tonight...Sox Lose to Tribe 8-2 (Game 52, '08)

After the 5-run first inning, capped off with Buehrle giving up a grand slam to Guitierrez, I thought even then the White Sox could have came back...as long as Buerhle continued to keep the Indians scoreless from that point on.  He did just that for a while, but not for the rest of the game.  This was a team failure, with Konerko failing to make a simple catch on a ball he always catches.  The inning was extended, and the Indians took advantage.  There were five outs in that inning.  I was stunned when Wassermann had a pickoff at first, and in the rundown, Paulie, instead of tagging the runner who looked no more than three feet in front of him, then fired home with a one-hop throw and another run scored.  Alexei Ramirez at one point forgot how many outs there were, getting doubled off second, and in all, the White Sox left nine men on base. 

This game was ugly, but I'm hoping they can put this one aside, and win the series against the Indians tomorrow.
