"We just keep stepping on our own feet"
Hawk Harrelson

If you watched today's game between the White Sox and The Yankees past the fourth inning, you are probably the kind of person that hangs out on the corner of the busiest intersection in town waiting for the car wrecks.

The Yankees beat the Sox 10-0.  But before you think it was the Yankees who embarrassed the Sox, hold your fire and lay down your weapon.  It was the White Sox who totally screwed themselves at each and every turn.

Having no one else to turn to, Ozzie Guillen was forced to use Jose Contreras in a starting role.  Contreras didn't disappoint the fans today.  Yankee, fans that is.  Meanwhile, the White Sox let Cubs refugee Sergio Meat Tray and Chad Gaudin look like Cy Young and Dennis Eckersley. If Kenny Williams was ticked off a couple of weeks ago, imagine how he feels after watching his team get one hit by the likes of Mitre.

Today was a showcase for the 2009 White Sox.  Bad starting pitching from someone not named Floyd, Danks or Buehrle.  Horrible defense that featured not only Contreras firing a comebacker into center field, Jermaine Dye falling down trying to pick a ball down the line and A.J. Pierzynski not being able to throw Derek Jeter out when he should have had him by a mile.

It was so bad, Ozzie took The Savior out.  Because even he couldn't save them.

The Sox are now not only trailing the Tigers but the Twins.  The only thing that will save them now is...actually, nothing can save them. 

If you did not admit it was over prior to this afternoon, you have to admit it is over now.  At least next Saturday, I can watch college football.
