Sox Streak Snapped With 3-1 Loss to Angels (Game 48, '08)

When I saw the White Sox were going to face Saunders in tonight's game, I knew they would have their work cut out for them.  Indeed they did.  The Sox were shut down offensively all night long, with no runs scored until the bottom of the ninth.  The White Sox are perhaps listening too closely to the 'Wendys' spot that always talks about 'scoring late.'  I've noticed the trend of the White Sox doing much of their scoring from the fifth inning on, as if they need half a game or so to get warmed up offensively.  But tonight the bats were essentially cold the whole game.  Floyd was okay, but I've noticed, even in the San Francisco game he won, he has his share of control problems.  I'm hoping that trend will not continue.  But tonight, even though Floyd was not perfect, he gave his team a chance to win.  They just couldn't cash in offensively tonight.  They'll have to try to begin a new winning streak tomorrow.
