The White Sox entered May 2008 one game over .500 and one game in front of the Twins in the American League Central. Carlos Quentin, one month removed from complete obscurity, was hitting .302/.434/.616, and the pitching staff’s 4.9 WAR led all of baseball. Things were looking up on the heels of that disastrous 90-loss 2007 season, but this team had a long way to go before they could officially say they were “back”.
Let’s pick up where we left off, with the Sox on a three-game losing streak and heading into Toronto.
May 2-5, at Toronto
Welp, it’s a four-game sweep.
