Beginning of the End? Sox Lose Again, 6-1 to Rangers (Game 99, '08)

At the risk of sounding like the voice of 'doom and gloom' I cannot see this story ending happily for the Chicago White Sox in 2008.  Sure, the Twins got slaughtered by the Yankees tonight and the Sox are still 1/2 game in first place, but the White Sox are doing nothing well lately.  They didn't hit tonight, didn't pitch in relief, although Vazquez was pretty good.  Two more errors on the night exposes this team for the sloppy and sleepy team they have been lately.  They look terrible.  I have a bad feeling this could be the season with the upcoming road trip while they play on the road in Detroit and Minnesota.  I believe after the road trip the White Sox will find themselves in second place, and possibly third. I hope not, but all signs point to a decline, not an ascent.  I hope I'm wrong.
