Mark Buehrle & the Chicago White Sox rose up to take the finale of a three game series with the Indians, which means there will be baseball Monday. The season for the underachieving Detroit Tigers is not over. They will be coming to Chicago to play game #162, if the Sox win then the Sox will host the Twinkies on Tuesday to determine the AL Central Division Champions.
Cleveland started an inexperienced rookie rather than this year’s AL Cy Young Award winner, Cliff Lee. Lee had a stiff neck, so the kid got his shot, with his family sitting right in front of us. He didn’t pitch poorly, maybe didn’t deserve a loss, but got one none the less. The runs off the kid were a solo Paulie Konerko rip just inside the leftfield foul pole, a bases loaded error on doubleplay ball, and a sac fly, not bad at all.
Rob, Al & his son Anthony, Steve, Dick & Bea, Debbie & George, Adele & Mary, me, and Caramel Corn Mike were all in the house. Tomorrow we’ll do it again. LET’S GO WHITE SOX!
I’ll take the high road and wish you Sox fans the best the next coupla games.
There’s nothing that would give me more pleasure than for the Cubs to beat the Sox in the WS. :)
