The defeat the Tigers handed the White Sox in the three-game series that ended last night in Chicago was the Sox's first series lost to a division team this season. The Pale Hose were a staggering 31-5 against the AL Central through Monday night.
They've only lost 8 series all year, and three of them were against the A's, who they just might face in the first round of the playoffs. I've been rather nasty about the White Sox this week, but I'll get one more punch in: they're going to win a maximum of one game in the playoffs this year.
