White Sux make winning look incredibly difficult

Looks like they are gonna blow this one, i'm on them too and its just so tedious seeing them blow so many opportunities to win it.

I dont know how people can bet on the white sox and then watch the game, one of the most frustrating teams to watch.

Wow lets hope for a bottom of the 13th win.

This is why I quit betting them. They'll hit the ball over the place and not score. It's amazing. When I used to take them, they would have like 2nd and 3rd with no outs, and the heart of the order up. Somehow they wouldn't score.

Another hit, will it lead to a run though...

I'm waiting for the bases loaded no out jam the Indians are about to get out of.

this team has got to be one of the worst teams in the league with RISP

Not to mention, CWS have gotten 3-4 calls that have been awful. I'm on Tribe but a guy stretching a triple was out. The bunt single at first was out. One strike two call on Lou Marson skipped in.

Had the Sox on a small play online and got an even play from a friend with the Sox up 7-6 in the top of the ninth....

But what an outrageously long game...I thought the Sox had it with man on 3rd 0 outs for a sec

Made a small homer bet on the White Sox. 7 runs is usually more than enough to win, the pitching did not show up tonight. The Sox bullpen is usually lights out. Santos had just broke Riveria's record on most closing appearances without a run allowed the game before. Ohman was just totally off and Floyd had a meltdown. Cleveland has only beaten the Sox once this year. I put a little bit on the Sox to win the series, Carmona has allowed 18 runs in two starts against the Sox.

They should have, Lillibridge obviously flunked remedial baserunning.

The officiating was terrible on both ways. Sox had plenty of bad strike calls on hitting and offense. De Aza's triple was a good call, he is extremely fast and he was safe, the bunt single was close but that was on Sipp. He interfered with the runner and obstructed the view.

I have noticed lots of Tribe fans say that the "Umps lost them the game"... which is BS. Everything evens out, Umpires hardly ever actually lose a team a game and it was certainly not this one. Why can't the just admit that the White Sox outplayed Cleveland a little bit more. Its not like Cleveland wasn't chasing the Sox the entire game, they never held a lead.

The Sox can still win this division. They are only 3.5 back from Detroit and they have been playing at a .560 pace since may.
