Alexei with the Gatorade bath in the middle of the FOX interview. Felt so good for Humber there, he's a super humble Humber...guess his wife is expecting now, too. Amazingly, 3 out of 21 perfect games in history of the game by the White Sox (14.3%) April 30th, 1922 Charles Robertson July 23rd, 2009 Mark Buehrle April 21st, 2012 Phil Humber

Too bad 75% of Sox fans will probably expect a late start and not even realize the game was played in the afternoon.

Morel blown away his last 2 AB's. Oh, well...as they said, who cares at this point?

Nice, DeAza. Pulling another ball through the right side of the infield.

Get to see Lilly's and Beckham's ability to turn around 96-97 MPH heat.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 04:05 PM) MLB can't even make this a free broadcast now because of the stupid blackout rules. Some of the games even get blacked out here in China...as if it was possible for me to go to the ballpark, like Twins/Rays yesterday. So weird and random. Thankfully, this one's on MLB.TV and my internet connection is fast enough not to catch and freeze every 2-3 minutes.

24 up, 24 down. 3 more to go.

Jeeez, the middle of this game has been played like it was the final game of the season and everyone had tee times tmrw morning. Everyone's focused on Humber. At least KW has that jewel in his back pocket, and the Twins, Royals and A's all can wonder why they let him go. It's not like the Royals couldn't use some pitching. Wonder if a pitcher's ever thrown a no-no after being waived/released 2-3 times in his career? 7 k's, 74 pitches, 22 outs. Viciedo really got white quickly, lol. Lilly in LF.

Konerko usually doesn't look that bad usually. 2% of the country? Is Karros joking or serious?

What could be MORE interesting would be if that dude's the last hitter of the game and he tries to bunt a 2nd time...

21 up, 21 down. Got past Ichiro.

Got 2 extra MPH on that fastball. Blew Figgins away.

Shades of the Ben Davis bunt back when he was playing for the Padres. Poor Curt Schilling, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Can't fault the Japanese players for bunting, that's what they have been trained to do their entire careers over there.

18 up, 18 down. C'mon Alejandro Pena DeAza, let's manufacture a run this inning, please. Good point Sims, Humber hasn't even had to go to a single full-count.

Viciedo now down all the way to .186 and should sit tmrw for Fukudome. Beckham parked at .184. White Sox doing their usual mid-game thing of sitting on a lead and not adding more. 56 vs. 101 pitches for almost the same exact number of outs.

Off the bat, thought Montero tagged that one. 15 up, 15 down. Like a pitching machine today, on cruise control so far.

Most boring FOX in-game manager interview ever, lol. Ackley hit that ball really well...Rios almost under-ran it and had to jump up a bit at the last moment. PHIL HUMBER simply dominant so far this game. Let's score some more runs, don't stop now boys!

Just missed it again. Dunn getting some good contact on most of his swings, though. 6 for 12 with RISP, 1 HR, 10 RBI's. Dunn, AJ and Paulie at least are doing their share with runners on base. As Karros said, it feels like the score should be 15-0. One of those trap games, where the M's could get back in it quickly with a crooked number.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 02:55 PM) Damn, rocket right at them. Numbers with bases loaded this year are shocking. Or not shocking, based on the hangover from 2011. We can make a legit argument for being 10-4 or even 11-3 after today. Of course, we probably didn't deserve to win the Rangers game that Rios homered and one of those Tigers games. Beckham's really doing a better job in getting on base this year than in 2011, despite the lower BA.

Humber down to a 1.08 ERA, 4 k's already in three innings, looking like the 1st half 2011 version. Too bad we can't play the M's every series. Used to be a nightmare to go on those West Coast trips. Now the only thing to fear a bit is the Angels...would have been nice to face them this trip when they were scuffling a bit, as eventually that line-up will break out.

LOL at Jaime Navarro as M's bullpen coach. Seemed like it should be even more damage...but Seager makes that catch on the Morel liner and the inning's already over, so we'll take. Once again, except for DeAza and Viciedo, great at-bats for most Sox hitters today...ab after ab. Making Beavan work hard.

Dammit, just a bit too much too much top hand or that ball gets out and it's 4-0. Let's go Alex, ooops AJ. Once again, don't get behind in the count to Paulie and dare to throw a fastball. Pierzynski pulls an RBI single through the hole between 1st and 2nd. AJ at .375 with 14 RBI's, Paulie .365 with 11 RBI's. 2nd walk of season for Beavan. 17 MLB starts, 16 walks.

Liked the swing there from Dunn, got it off the end of the bat a bit. Despite 2011, Dunn still 2nd in the majors in homers to Pujols since 2008...Albert, Dunn, Ortiz, Tex, exclusive company.

Morel and Beckham turning on those balls, .136 and .189 respectively, now.
