Nostradamus

I worried about the White Sox coming close to the seventeen hits of Friday, and I was right. They got all of four against the Tigers yesterday, with the first one not coming until two out in the sixth inning against Michael Lorenzen. And still they could have won. Gavin Sheets gave them a chance with his bases-loaded, bases-clearing double in the seventh inning, which put the Sox ahead 3-2. Enter Joe Kelly. Watch the balls fly—homerun, double, double, single. Enter Jimmy Lambert an inning later. Watch the balls fly—double, homerun. Sox lose, 7-3. Coming into the game, Kelly had retired thirty-four of the last thirty-six batters he faced. His ERA jumped from 2.51 to 4.30. Good teams find a way to win, bad teams a way to lose. Which do you think the White Sox are?
