Chicago Sports Slant: These Sox Don’t Seem to Fit

29 Sep 2008 10:41:11 PDT

Written by Chris De Salvo
Saturday, September 27, 2008 These Sox Don’t Seem to Fit While it may be difficult to surmise the impact of the Sox’ third straight Metrodome loss last night, it’s certainly not the lasting impression most would deem worthy of post-season berth. ''I'm sick of [bleep]ing losing,'' A.J. Pierzynski said. ''It sucks, but we're still alive. Hopefully, we go home and win four games and we kick their ass on Tuesday.'' Yeah, Okay.

Sweeping the Indians (who, despite having no chance at making the playoffs, hate the White Sox just as much as the Twins) is far from a sure thing. Then again, that’s what we thought about eith...
