Hopefully it was just jet lag. Jon Garland lost his first game of the season, but he hardly pitched bad. He did give up eleven hits, but only three of them crossed the plate. It was the offense that failed them in this one.

The White Sox scattered five hits off of rookie starter Edwin Santana. Konerko and Iguchi both had two hits. Luis Vizcaino was ineffective again as he gave up a run. It would be too much to ask for Ozzie Guillen to get rid of Vizcaino and put Brandon McCarthy in the pen when El Duque comes back. He’s about as far removed from Earl Weaver as anyone I can think of.

Fortunately Cleveland edged the Twins, so our five game lead is still intact.
