As a small group of media members walked into manager Ozzie Guillen's office following Cleveland's stunning come-from-behind 8-5 victory on Friday night at Jacobs Fields, Guillen took it upon himself to cheer up a somber-looking group of reporters.

"You walk in here like you are going to a funeral," said Guillen with a smile, sitting behind his desk with one eye on the television and Scott Baker's attempt to complete a perfect game in Minneapolis.

"I'm not dead," Guillen added.

But the White Sox 2007 season certainly has long since passed on, with the burial coming about six weeks ago. Friday's eighth-inning disaster simply piled dirt upon the grave.

Mark Buehrle exited possibly his best start in August after seven innings, with the White Sox (57-78) holding a 5-2 lead at the time. Four relievers and 11 batters later, the Indians (77-57) had rallied for six runs in the eighth and claimed their seventh straight victory.

This improbable rally began with Grady Sizemore's one-out single off Ehren Wasserman, who deserved a better fate after retiring two of the three batters he faced, but it was Mike Myers and Mike MacDougal (1-5) who fueled a Cleveland explosion that rivaled the postgame fireworks show. Myers walked Travis Hafner and gave up Victor Martinez's run-scoring single, cutting the lead to two and bringing MacDougal into the game.

Ryan Garko hit a 3-2 pitch from MacDougal that looked to be an inning-ending grounder to shortstop Juan Uribe, but it took a bad hop off the lip of the infield and rolled into left field for a run-scoring single. With the way the season has been going for the White Sox, Buehrle immediately could sense the momentum change.

Un-fucking-believable. I was at a friends house, we had a 5-2 lead when we left, the next morning we turned on SC and seen the Indians rally. Wow, did we just give up completely or something? Do we really want that number one pick that badly? Because that is all we Sox fans have to look forward to, a top three pick.

I was pretty pissed. How do you keep a pitcher in who threw 8 straight balls in a row to walk 2 guys with the bases loaded? I swear Guillen tried to lose the game on purpose...what a dick.
