White Sox remind us that they are pretenders

That six-game winning streak was fun, right?

Well, back to reality. On Monday night, the Sox took an 8-2 lead into the ninth inning against the Cleveland Guardians. They blew the whole thing. The committed two errors during the six-run Cleveland rally, which culminated with Josh Naylor hitting a game-tying grand slam off Liam Hendriks.

The Sox left the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning. They left the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th inning. Then Naylor hit a three-run homer off Ryan Burr in the top of the 11th. 

The Sox lost, 12-9.

The Sox committed four errors and wasted a brilliant six-inning start by Michael Kopech, who struck out seven and gave up no earned runs on two hits.

Just in case you needed a reminder that the Sox are pretenders, there you go. They are 3-10 against the mighty AL Central. World Series contenders my ass.

Good night.
