No Offense

by @ 9:27 am. Filed under 2008 White Sox

After sweeping the Tigers in Detroit in their first series of the season, the White Sox lost to Detroit 5-2 in the first game of the series in Chicago.  The stat of the day had to be that the Sox offense only tallied four runs compared with ten strike outs.  Even though Tiger starter Dontrelle Willis went down early with a hurt knee, their bullpen came in and pitched well against the struggling Chicago offense.  Jose Contreras started the game for the Sox and went six and two-thirds innings giving up six hits and four earned runs.  Not a bad day but when your offense only puts two runs on the board an outing like that will not win many games.  Carlos Quentin led the way for the Sox with one hit, a run scored, and an RBI.  Perhaps the squad was a little distracted after Ozzie Guillen was fined for stating that one of the umps had a vendetta against him and that is why they lost the previous game.  The Sox take on the Tigers again today and look to even the series with a win.
