Heros - Jermaine Dye .350, 3 HR, 5 RBI; Carlos Quentin .345, HR, 7 RBI; Gavin Floyd vs Minn May 6th - 8.1 inn, 1 hit, 1 run; Javier Vazquez 13.1 inn, 3.38 ERA, 15 SO

The White Sox cannot win without slugging. They cannot manufacture any runs what-so-ever. This how this team was built, so I'm not overly surprised. Jim Thome can't hit left handed pitching right now (maybe he just can't hit it at all anymore), Paul Konerko and Nick Swisher are going through awful slumps. They moved Orlando Cabrera to the lead off spot, and the day he goes 4-5, he scores once and they lose.

I don't think Ozzie knows what to do with this team, probably because there isn't much to do. When a power hitting team isn't hitting, you lose. They're lucky to have won as many games as they have. Unless this team starts hitting soon, they're gonna lose a lot of games, because this pitching isn't going to stay this good for long.

My Suggestion? More sex toys.
