Other teams fighting for a playoff spot beat up on the competition, but not the White Sox, who seem to be channeling Alfred E. Neuman. What, us worry? The Phillies fell behind 7-0 against the Cubs earlier this week, only to win going away by a score of 17-8. Twice so far over the weekend, the Brewers have come back to beat the Cubs. Granted, it’s the Cubs, but the Sox left town on Thursday after failing to take a three-game series the Angels, who have just dropped two straight to the A’s. Last night, the Sox fell to the Rangers 2-1 in Arlington. Texas used five pitchers, three with 4-plus ERAs, and all we could do was manage three hits. Seven times we walked, and not once did that lead to a run. Eloy Jimenez looks absolutely lost at the plate. But, hey, Tim Anderson got the night off to rest up for the postseason. I wonder if they do that in Houston?
