Last night was something I called consistent. It was consistent as Jose Contreas once again got blasted, and the White Sox lost 6-0. In fact, that loss deescalades Contreas to 0-5 on the year. A little production was received from the centerfield position as forth, they still lost.

Does one loss make a difference? No, it doesn't, most of the time. Although, this loss is different, this is a type of loss that can take energy away from a team, when your pitcher gets blown out of porportion, and the oposing pitcher throws a complete shutout game.
The White Sox right now, need to re-cooperate, a few players have indeed hit stride, such as Carlos Quentin, currently with eight home runs. But, the base stealing woes continue, as Ozzie just can't find an answer. Opposing players are always stealing on the White Sox pitchers, it might be their delivery, but who knows?
All in all this team needs to step it up in the coming games, and the pitchers need to get back on track. Ozzie Guillen has done a good job replacing the injured center fielders, just the Sox have not hit stride yet. Season Grade (Team): C Manager Grade (So far this season): B-
Keep in mind all grades are based on the Chicago White Sox first 28 games.
