From the Daily Southtown:

The White Sox still took a certain amount of comfort in bowing to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.

Yes, the American League Central Division title has all but been conceded to Minnesota for a third consecutive season, as a 10-2 Twins victory the Metrodome just about put the final nail in the Sox coffin.

However, several Sox players said it hurts less knowing that while the Twins are going to the postseason for a third straight season, they also expect their rivals to have a short stay once the playoffs begin.

"I think they keep forgetting that we lost our two best players this year," one Sox player said. "We have Magglio (Ordonez) and Frank (Thomas), we're looking at a different story here.

"That's fine, let them do their talking and clapping and antics on the basepaths. Minnesota has two World Series banners, but not one came from this group of players. They forget that. I'll be glad to sit back and watch them go one and done (in the playoffs). Our season ends Oct. 3 or whatever it is. So they'll get an extra week in before they're done."

The whole article is worth reading. It all pretty much speaks for itself, but Batgirl would like to point out that they couldn't put us away when they did have Mags and Darth and we were in the sucking-time, and also we've lost our best hitters for much of the season as well. The difference is, we have depth. Which is part of being a winning team.

When people ask Batgirl why she loathes the Bitch Sox to the very core of her being, this, my dear, is why.

Thanks to mongo for the heads-up.
