White Sox Take it Again With 7-6 Win Over Royals (Game 91, '08)

I have to hand it to the Royals.  They are a pesky team, like a gnat in your face that won't go away until you smash it.  For two nights in a row, the White Sox were able to finally get the better of the Royals after a long struggle.  Any team without lock-down end-of-the-game pitching is going to have problems, and even though the White Sox have more firepower than the Royals, they too have had their pitching problems.  Last night, the problem was Javier Vazquez, while Dotel closed out the ninth with three strikeouts...a day after I said I didn't trust him in that role.  So much for that....at least for a day. 

I am a bit concerned about Javier Vazquez, as I am Jose Contreras.  These guys have not been pitching great, although Javier's start before last night was pretty good.  The month of June was not a particularly good month for him.  I'm seeing a small breakdown with these righthanders, and I know the Sox will need them strong down the stretch.  At least the offense has been picking them up.  Go for the sweep tonight...
