The White Sox Are About To Catch A Break & Cora Is On-Deck
The Chicago Wiite Sox have been playing second fiddle to the Detroit Tigers and their seemingly flawless Stradivarian first-stringers this season.
With almost half of 2006’s games in the books, Detroit has a commanding two game lead in the Central Division.
Did I say a COMMANDING lead?
I did, because the Sox seem unable to catch these resurgent stripers. Recently, the South Siders closed to within a half game, but then they complacently dropped back into the second slot.
But now, a few days before the All-Star break, the Sox can catch up.
They start a three game series with Pittsburgh, which anyone that remembers their great teams of the past, will pity. If the Sox don’t sweep, they’re just asking for trouble.
While they’re drowning the Pirates, the Tigers get to play Houston, which won’t roll over, especially with Clemens on the mound for game one.
On a separate note, Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has been formally reprimanded by the Commissioner’s office for making sexual slurs about Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti.
It’s at this time in the season that Ozzie is going to distinguish, himself, for good or bad, from low-key Tigers chief, Jim Leyland.
If Ozzie blows it, and the Sox drop out of Wild Card supremacy, then look for Joey Cora to start calling the shots from the dugout.
