Today's Sports Failure

Our sports failure today is Scott Linebrink. Scott certainly faced a lot of lead in the 8th inning of today's White Sox/Blue Jays game, discounting Bartolo "Muy Caliente" Colon's fine performance (5 hits in 5 innings, no runs). By the time Scott got in the game, Chicago was clinging to a 1-0 lead. But this is the Great White North, they are a first place team, and your HORSESHIT WON'T WORK HERE, EH?!

Chicago's interim manager Joey Cora said "To win 1-0 against that team would have been tough and obviously it didn't happen." Sadly, Ozzie is attending his son's graduation, so our reaction isn't nearly as colorful as we would hope. But there are other points worth mentioning:

The White Sox have lost 10 of their last 13.

It had been nearly two years since the White Sox were leading in a game AT Toronto.

Congratulations to Scott, today's sports failure. Scott will receive a gift certificate to Auto Masters, with locations in Des Plaines, Maywood, and Schaumburg.
