Seven the wrong way

[love_that_reefer]

The White Sox have lost seven in a row and things aren't looking good on the south side. They have no closer to speak of and Alex Rios, Adam Dunn and Gordon Beckham aren't providing much offensively. The White Sox should be a lot better than this but due to a MLB leading six blown saves, they are off to a 7-11 start and in the midst of a seven game losing streak. The starting pitching has been solid for the White Sox as expected but Dunn and Rios have been real disappointments so far in this early season. Juan Pierre is hitting better than Rios for christ's sake!! Ozzie Guillen has got to losing his fucking head over this loss but what can he do without someone to close games or get the big hits? All he can do is hope someone emerges that can handle the 9th and that his big bats wake up.

Tonight, Pauley and Carlos Quentin (2) hit long homers off Verlander, but it doesn't appear to be enough. The Tigers are up 9-3 in the top of 9.
