CHICAGO -- White Sox manager Tony La Russa called a meeting with team leaders last Friday in hopes of helping turn their season around. The players in the room, including closer Liam Hendriks and first baseman Jose Abreu, spoke freely, and the White Sox won their next five games, all at home, where they have struggled.
"The message of the entire thing was positivity," Hendriks said. "Make sure we have a united front and positivity because these 8-10 guys that are in here right now are going to seep into every single person.
