White Sox Are Surprising Baseball
CHICAGO (AP) -- Chuck Finley could have been speaking for most everyone in the major leagues when he assessed the Chicago White Sox.
``The White Sox have been the best team in baseball,'' the Cleveland pitcher said after losing to Chicago for the second time in a month. ``Who could have predicted that?''
Nearly three years after the much-criticized ``White Flag'' trade, in which Chicago dealt three established pitchers despite trailing the Indians by only 3{ games in late July, the White Sox don't plan on surrendering anything soon. And now Cleveland is looking up at the White Sox in the AL Central standings.
