Inconsistency Continues for Sox

So the White Sox respond to an awful homestand by taking two of three from Milwaukee in Milwaukee. Mark Buehrle hits a home run and Clayton Richard scores a run as a pinch-hitter. I don't know what to think about this team anymore.

The Sox had a bad series against the Tigers at home this week, only to rebound to win the final game of the series and then take the weekend series against the Brewers. Jose Contreras had another excellent outing, but Clayton Richard has regressed a little. The inconsistency in the individual players reveals the inconsistency of the team. This week proved nothing except that it's hard to get an accurate read on the team.

I still lean towards them being sellers at the deadline, but that probably won't be apparent until around the All-Star break. Now they have the Cubs series, which this year is so completely anti-climactic, since both teams are average. Knowing them, they'll take 2 of 3 again and go on another run, furthering their maddening pace this year.

I hope to write more about them this week, since last week was pretty busy. There's a lot to say, but for now, another week is gone, and no questions have been answered.
