Sox lose, split with Cubs

So after killing the Cubs 12-2 in game one of the 3 game set, the Sox offense went to sleep against two quality pitchers in Maddox and Prior. They ended up losing the last two games at Comiskey, along with this series, and they split the overall season series at 3 game each. This series was also on the 5th series that the Sox have lost all year.

Currently the Sox stand at 50-24, still with the best record in baseball. So far in 2005 they have been the first team to win 20, 30, 40, and 50 games in all of baseball. They are also sitting at the best record ever in franchise history, at this point in the season. Right now they are looking at a 9 1/2 game lead over the 3 time defending AL Central champion Twins. The Twins are already starting to look at the much easier road to the Wild Card.
