Chicago White Sox lose 4-3 to Minnesota Twins

The White Sox have five regular-season games remaining at the Metrodome. The final one Sept.

[KW fan]

Bad defensive teams with poor overall fundamental play don't deserve to win.

Much is made lately of a bad bullpen. But the errors are killing Sox too. Sox have lost at least three games in last week they pretty much gave away.

I didn't see the game. Why were Ramirez and Ozzie so POed about AJ's throw that "tailed?" It's not like Alexei (who had an error of his own in the game) doesn't occasionally throw a ball six feet over Konerko's head. Seems like they are trying to blame the most resourceful guy on the field.

Ramirez walked over to the bag and didn't move an extra inch to try to get the ball as it went into center.I've never seen an infielder do that before,it was worse than lazy, he looked like he didn't care at all. I'm surprised AJ didn't go out there and punch him in mid inning. It was another poor throw but an even worse effort trying to keep it on the infield.

Get rid of the skinny guy who doesn't know English and makes too many errors.

You're a new "gal?" You've become Renee Richards? Little sex change operation there? That's more than we needed to know.

Well, keep your panties out of a twist.

He's afraid of getting hurt.

I didn't get to see the game either. Mark Buehrle did say that the last time he pitched a no hitter, the Sox slumped.
I can't wait for the Sox play the Twins in another stadium. Hope springs eternal and life is good.

How'd the sox do? Heard they won on a grand slam in the 13'th that's fantastic! Way to go! Can't help but hit one out in that glad bag band box up in the cities. Once they build their new outdoor stadium, attendance should drop to below the cell levels. Could be a race to see which team can draw fewer fans and get to move to Phoenix first. Might just take 8 or 9 more years.

Ozzie? He swears good in english, isn't that enough?

Guess i was wrong about the win, well, I still say they'll win at least 2 of the next 3 and split the series.

Great to see Fiels give away another four at-bats.Man is a complete waste of time.Nix or Getz should have been DH.

Ramirez is a lazy ball player, he makes lazy errors, Ozzie protects him like he is his love child, AJ's throw was not on target but the "Missle" did not even reach for it, AJ should have kicked his @. S. S. and then maybe Ozzie's also ! This team is lackluster at best, and except for the "Rays' series has played bad baseball since the break, which is the same time "The Great" Carlos returned, another no hit game by him last night, and Hawk saying he hit the ball hard BIG DEAL ! The Sox pretty musch play with 8 hitters, we have no DH , Thome is Homer or nothing most the time, and now against lefty's its Fields, yeah he hit the Grandslam the other day, bot he is usually good for and 0 for 4 on most days and yesterday he looked way over matched at the plate. They are still 2 games out, thanks to the Tigers losing, they better figure it out, most fire I seen on this team was Ozzie throwing the bubblegum bucket last night! 5 more games in the Twinkie Dome, will those games will decide the season ?

You have echoed my thunder ! Ramirez looks like he is in a bubble most of the time.But the blizzard protects him it seems. Sox need a over all in off season & it might come in next week or so. No excuses for playing lazy.
