By this point, the White Sox must be feeling like the old Washington Generals, as almost every opponent might as well be the Harlem Globetrotters. It's now losses in 21 of 24, and of the last 18 defeats, 15 of those have been by more than one run. A recovery on Thursday with ex-Brave Michael Soroka on the mound seems remote with Soroka having posted a 7.50 ERA and 1.79 WHIP, and the host Twins looking for a four-game sweep. Minnesota also can't wait for another look at Simeon Woods Richardson, making his first start since April 13 vs. the Tigers, when allowing just one run and two hits in 6 IP of a 4-1 win. Play Twins on Run Line

The one starter the Pale Hose had who could maybe give them some length has hit the wall and they had to go to the pen early again Wed night (5th inning). Tough turnaround on the road and while the Twins stink, even they hit the ball hard against Chicago. Nice bounce back opportunity for Bailey Ober, who has been serviceable in the past if not so much lately. Outside of Ely Jimenez no one hitting for the Sox. Errors, wild pitches; they specialize in baseball futility and their starter has an ERA approaching 8.00 and hasn't pitched into the 5th the last three times out
