The Toronto Blue Jays handed the White Sox their fourth straight loss and seventh loss in their last tenth game.  The Sox offense has been terrible and it continued to be bad in this game.  Only getting six hits off of Toronto pitching, they also struck out six times.  Jermain Dye and Carlos Quentin each hit a solo home run but it wasn’t nearly enough to beat the Blue Jays.  John Danks had a less than stellar pitching performance, lasting four and two-thirds innings, seven hits, two earned runs, and five strike outs.  Octavio Dotel also had a bad outing relieving for one inning in the sixth and gave up two hits and three runs.  Ozzie Guillen and the Sox are definitely frustrated to be in a slump, offsetting their great start and losing the division lead to the Minnesota Twins who just swept the Detroit Tigers in a three game series.  The series will not get any easier on Sunday as Jose Contreras takes on the incredible Roy Halladay as the two teams battle in the third game of their four game series.
