Ever since the Chicago White Sox took three of four games from the Chicago Cubs earlier this month they have followed those performances with some of their worst baseball of the season.

Since winning the series against the Cubs, the White Sox have lost series’ to the Arizona Diamondbacks, Oakland Athletics and now the Houston Astros, as the “Good Guys,” lost Sunday to the Astros, 8-2.

In those series, the White Sox are 3-6 overall.

This series loss is a bit of an embarrassment for the White Sox, because the Astros are one of the worst teams in the Majors in terms of wins-and-losses, and I believe the team should win a series against a young team like the Astros.

White Sox lose 8-2 to Astros

This team is no longer fun to watch, that is for sure, especially with the White Sox losing Jose Abreu and his 15 home runs (and 40-plus RBIs) to the disabled list with an ankle injury.

There is a good chance, I believe, something is going to change with this ball club soon, because it is starting to be more of the same inconsistency we all thought was over with from the past few seasons.

As for the game on Sunday, the White Sox were held to six hits (two runs), while committing two errors. The Astros had a big four-run second and nerve trailed in the afternoon game, following those runs with two runs in the third, and two more in the fifth.
