Sox Beat by Kazmir and Rays 2-0 (Game 56, '08)

This game felt like de ja vu all over again as the White Sox' bats struggled to get anything accomplished against the Rays' Kazmir, who has been fantastic for them this year.  When I saw the Sox were facing Kazmir, I honestly didn't give them much of a chance.  Vazquez did his job, only surrenduring 2 earned on 5 hits over 7 innings of work.  Typically, that is good enough.  Not with this offense, and not against Kazmir and his 1.22 ERA on the season.  The Sox lost to a good pitcher, but sometimes you have to beat good pitchers.  The Sox could not do that tonight.  With a win tomorrow, the Sox can have a better than .500 road trip, and a series split.  But to do that, the Sox will have to hit, and Buehrle will have to be the Buehrle of old...the 'good' Buehrle if you will, not the gasoline can we've unfortunately seen lately.
