"It's hard to ignore. Especially because the around-the-league scoreboard stares directly from right field into the White Sox' dugout. So before the Sox even stepped on the field Wednesday night and bashed the Kansas City Royals in a 9-2 rout, there it was: Twins 5, Tigers 4. Manager Ozzie Guillen can look at the scoreboard, but his players have to concentrate on winning more series against Central rivals. The Sox are 4-8 against the division. ''I do,'' Guillen said when asked about scoreboard-watching. ''I have to. A lot of people say, do you look at the scoreboard? 'No.' You're lying. ''If you want to win your division title, you better start playing better against your own division because those are the people you're going to see the most. Hopefully, the second round coming up, we play a lot better. Like I say, when you lose against your division, you lose two games. You don't lose just one. ''They have to be aware of that. It's frustrating because no matter what team we're going to play, we think we have a chance, and we're not getting it done.'' If the offense performs like it did in the finale against the Royals, well, a lot of the problems for the 12-16 team would disappear. The Sox also got a solid outing from Freddy Garcia. Working on four days' rest, he allowed two runs and 10 hits in six innings." http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/whitesox/2241846,CST-SPT-ssep06.article
