The Bad News: The White Sox were pounded by the Texas Rangers today, losing 10-2. It's their fifth loss in six games. Worse, Sox pitching and defense -- the hallmarsks of their championship season in 2005 -- have looked sloppy and inconsistent during this stretch.
The Good News: The division leading Detroit Tigers have lost six of their last eight games, so the Sox have not lost ground in the standings. They remain two and a half games behind the Tigers.
The Bad News: If the Sox had been winning their games while the Tigers were losing theirs, the Sox might be back in first place by now.
It will be interesting to watch this week's three-game set between these two teams. The series begins Tuesday night at U.S. Cellular Field.
