Ken Williams, the general manager of the Chicago White Sox, isn’t known for biting his tongue. On Monday, he talked about how upset he is with his team.
Said Williams: “We’ve thrown away a dozen games that way this year. We’ve deserved what we’ve got. I’m not happy. I’m not happy with a lot of what I see, we’re underachievers, period.”
On the season, the White Sox are 61-58. In the AL Central, they trail the Detroit Tigers by two games. Manager Ozzie Guillen agreed with Williams’ assessment.

While the rap video and rivalry won’t make anyone forget about Tupac Shakur versus Biggie Smalls or Jay-Z versus Nas — or even Eminem versus the Insane Clown …read more

1. Boston Red Sox
At 40-26, the Red Sox on well on their way to another spot in the postseason. The defending World Series champions have a few weak spots on their roster, however they are a team no one wants to play. Boston has to be the favorite to take home another championship in 2008.
2. Chicago Cubs

The White Sox, who were mired in a six-game losing streak when the inflatable blowup dolls were placed in the locker room, have apologized for the incident. …read more
