SEVEN STRAIGHT LOSSES
SEVEN
The white Sox haven't lost 7 straight all season. They haven't lost 6 straight all season. They haven't lost 5 straight all season.

No one is hitting. No one is running. Pitching is suspect. Defense is falling apart - no one is paying attention, getting in the moment.
They're frustrated.
Even worse - it looks like they're burned out. Best record in Major League Baseball. GONE. 15 game lead? Down to 8½ games. You don't want to get to the end of the season on a slump - you want to "find yourselves" and get the team turned around and start winning again and start on the upward climb as you approach post-season.
Weather was crappy today - 79 degrees but the most humidity we've ever had - almost the most uncomfortable game of the year. I sat down after my usual walks around the park and placed my arms in my lap. A couple of outs later I picked them up and my pants were soaked through where my arms were. Never happened to me before. Weird.
Today was Beatle Tribute Day - the Beatles played at old Comiskey Park 40 years ago today. Good music and tribute bands around the park. After the game, a concert - at Gate 5 - the location of Old Comiskey Park (quite fitting). (Pete Best actually threw out the first pitch.)
Today was also the Chicago Air and Water show. We usually see some planes flying over, but not today - we had the Goodyear Blimp today (Fox 12:15 game) (as well as at last night's game - no idea why) and planes can't fly near here if the blimp is here. Very disappointing.
Just a very disappointing day.
