In the bottom of the tenth inning, the White Sox were beaten once again by a walk off home run by the Tampa Bay Rays to win the game 4-3.  After winning the first of the four game series, the Sox lost the next three including two walk off home runs.  The series for the South Side Sluggers can be characterized by missed opportunities.  For the series, the Sox were 5 for 39 with runners in scoring position including 2 for 14 in the game on Sunday.  Despite thirteen hits in the game, the Sox could not get it done when it counted.  A.J. Pierzynski and Alexei Ramirez both led the Sox with three hits on the day.  Mark Buehrle started the game for the Sox and last six innings, gave up seven hits and three earned runs.  Matt Thorton gave up the home run in the bottom of the tenth and got the loss on the day.  After a stressful series, Ozzie Guillen expressed his feelings and let people know that there will be changes to come in the line up.  With the day off on Monday, the Sox play Kansas City at home on Tuesday.
