There's not much good news here, so let's keep it short.

The White Sox lost to Texas last night, 9-5.  The good news: Minnesota lost, so the Sox are still 8.5 games back.

Gavin Floyd stunk.  Again.  Floyd is now 2-6 on the season with a 6.64 ERA.  He didn't even last three innings, giving up six runs on eight hits and three walks in just 2.2 innings pitched.  The good news: He's not scheduled to pitch in the next four games and both Scott Linebrink (three strikeouts) and Bobby Jenks each pitched an inning of scoreless relief.

Seven spots in the Sox batting order produced a total of three hits.  The good news:  Paul Konerko went 3 for 4 with four runs batted in, on the strength of two homers -- his 15th and 16th of the season; Alex Rios was 2 for 4, including a double, raising his team-high batting average to .319.   

The Hawks lost to the Flyers in overtime.  The good news: Now they get to win the Cup at home.

Go Sox!  Go Hawks!
