Not Enough...Sox Lose to Royals 4-1 (Game 92, '08)


Mark Buehrle pitched very well tonight, and a non-turned double-play on a ball Paul Konerko inexplicably didn't catch cost them bit tonight.  I think the real story of the game is a lack of offensive support though.  The pitchers cannot be expected to hold 1-run leads too often, and certainly not with a team that has  been hitting the ball hard all series long, even if they only took one game in this series.  The White Sox have had to cover shaky pitching almost this entire series.  Tonight, they didn't have enough offense to support the stellar Buehrle.  Two out of three is very good, but they will have to continue to win in Texas to keep the ever-charging gants from Minnesota at bay.  The Twins are the most annoying team, winning with no-name pitchers and several other unknowns.  If the White Sox take care of their business, they won't have to worry about them as much.  That's the advantage to being in first place. They need to stay there.
