The Chicago White Sox are facing a lost season but can they turn it around

The Chicago White Sox have three things working in their favor as to why they can still turn things around.

The first thing is the White Sox have shown a fighting spirit. Although they lost the final game of the series to Toronto, they did fight back (before Aaron Bummer got rocked in the bottom of the eighth).

Anytime it seems like the season has been on the line, the Chicago White Sox find a way to rally back and pick up a key victory. They just need to start stringing some wins together.

Although just getting a win to stop a four-game losing streak would be nice to see.

The other part working in the White Sox favor is the schedule softens up considerably in July and August. The White Sox face only three teams currently above .500 in the San Francisco Giants, the Twins, and Astros.

Obviously things can change between now and the end of June, but the Sox face an easier path towards getting some wins during the dog days of summer.

The third part working towards the Chicago White Sox favor is they will be getting Lynn, Anderson, and Jimenez back hopefully before July starts. The Sox so far (and knocking on wood as we speak) have avoided a major season-ending injury. If the Sox can get back to being healthy, they still have the talent to pull out of this tailspin.

Do not expect drastic measures.

Although if the White Sox continue to fade, do not expect Reisndorf to fire La Russa.

While that would go a long way towards solving some of the White Sox offense and defensive problems, you can bet your last dollar Reisndorf is not going to pull the plug on trying to wipe out his biggest regret when he first fired La Russa back in the 1980s.

The irony is the Sox are very much in the same spot during his last tour of duty. Although, the game had not passed La Russa by at that point. The way Tony is filling out the lineup card lately is showing the game has moved on and maybe that is why the Sox may crash and burn this season.
