Sox Shuffle Continues
The White Sox limp home after a 10-game road trip that most certainly did not end on a high note Sunday. The team lost 14-3 to the lowly Kansas City Royals, in a game that saw a bench clearing brawl and numerous ejections.
With the bases loaded, Sox pitcher D.J. Carrasco hit the Royals' Miguel Olivo with a pitch, which the ump called intentional. That lead to the melee, and the ejection of both Carrasco and Ozzie Guillen. After reviewing the tape, the umpires did change their opinion of the intent and apologized to the White Sox coaching staff after the game.
Even worse, the loss dropped the club out of first place for the first time since May 16. The Sox were clinging to a narrow half-game lead in the AL Central after losing three of four against the Twins, but after losing the weekend series in KC, the team finished their road trip with a 4-6 record. The White Sox are now in second place, a half-game behind Minnesota.
Can home cooking right the ship for the Sox? The team takes the field at the Cell for 16 of their next 19 games, where they've won better than 2/3 of their games so far this season. The next couple weeks will be critical if they hope for a place in the postseason.

Professional sports teams should create a position called the "Perspective Manager".
When adult men run screaming at each other over a call or play the Perspective Manager would come out onto the field, seperate them and say to the coach/players
"You are being paid more than 99% of Americans to play a child's game. Yes, you are upset. Yes, you have every right to disagree, but realize that you are a millionaire, beloved by millions of fans and luckier than the overwhelming majority of even professional athletes."
Either that or just slap the silly bastards.
What's an adult game?
If you have to ask Navin...if you have to ask.
^haha
Oh good, I see were both thinking of checkers.
I'm just glad they're coming home for the next few weeks - The Cell seems to be much more welcoming!
