After Breaking Our Hearts All Season, M's Break Editor Dan's

According to the official rules, when a baseball team forfeits a game, the score is recorded thusly: the forfeitting team gets zero runs, the opponents gets as many runs as there were innings. In the case of most games, 9-0.

So it was fitting that, in the game that surely sealed their non-pennant-winning fate, in the middle of a September freefall, Editor Dan's beloved White Sox lost 9-0 to the Mariners yesterday.

Little Jake Woods shut out the Sox for seven innings, and the M's scored seven runs in the last two innings to slam shut the door on the game, Chicago's sixth loss in seven games.

Manager Ozzie Guillen was displeased. "We did our best out there, but just didn't get it done," he said after the game. JUST KIDDING. That's what Hargrove would've said. Guillen said this:

"Right now I feel embarrassed. My team should feel embarrassed. People are paying to watch us play and that was pathetic."

God bless that man. The M's and Sox, now just playing out the string, meet today at 5:35 PST.
