After opening the season Monday with a spectacular 6-0 win over the Cleveland Indians which included great pitching, crisp defense and timely hitting, the Chicago White Sox turned back into a pumpkin Wednesday night.

The $15.5 million dollar man Jake Peavy struggled, especially in the fourth inning as the Sox lost a three run lead and eventually lost the game.  Relief appearances by Tony Pena and Bobby Jenks were not impressive, with the big boy giving up a run, a hit and two walks.

The Sox offense, which impressed on Monday was as cold as the weather, with only Paul Konerko contributing with a two run homer in the third.  Theoretically, when the Sox get a three run lead, pitchers like Peavy are supposed to slam the door.  Peavy not only didn't slam it in the fourth, he kicked it open for the Indians.

The Sox had Fausto Carmona on the ropes early, but as happened too many times in 2009, they let him up off the mat. 

It almost seemed like the Sox didn't think the game was going to be played with the pre-game rain and a game time temperature in the mid 40's.  Tonight's game could be played in temperatures as low as 30 degrees.

An area of concern to White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen must be some the inconsistency on offense.  Sure, it's only been two games, but you would expect Mark Kotsay, Mark Teahen and Alexi Ramirez to at least have hits by now.  If the Sox play tonight (my bet is they call it off for cold temps) I would imagine you might see Andruw Jones in center, Alex Rios in left and Juan Pierre as the DH. 

The bottom line is, on Monday, it was a perfect storm for the Sox.  Last night, it was a 2009 flashback.  Where will we go next?
