An angry Ozzie Guillen watched his team waste an opportunity to gain ground in their increasingly futile bid for the AL wild-card berth.
The defending World Series champions lost for the sixth time in seven games, the latest defeat 9-0 to the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night.
"Right now I feel embarrassed. My team should feel embarrassed. People are paying to watch us play and that was pathetic," Guillen said. "If we keep playing like that they better start packing today."
Chicago has lost six of seven and has just about run out of time, with only nine games remaining. The White Sox are six games behind first-place Detroit in the AL Central, and 5 1/2 games behind Minnesota in the wild-card race. The Tigers and Twins both lost Thursday.

Sure looks like the defending World Series champions are going to wind up missing the playoffs altogether in 2006. So where did it all go so wrong with Ozzie's crew? Why does their pitching staff seem so vulnerable this season after being more or less dominant a year ago?
