Konerko: Tension Cost White Sox Games
Chicago finished 79-83 last season and in third place in the American League Central. Guillen was granted a release from the White Sox with two games left in the season and took over as Marlins manager two days later. "There were probably games and days given away because of people worrying about things that were not related to the game of baseball," Konerko said. "Especially toward the end last year we were just giving away games, and you know big-league players should be mentally tougher than to have that stuff bother you ... but then it all came to a head, and I guess that's how things go. If it didn't go that way then no one would see the need to make a change."
