On August 20th, 1965 The Beatles played 2 shows at old Comiskey Park and today the White Sox play 2 games . That makes this the 52nd + 1 day Anniversary of that day . I think there's a giveaway of a Beatles/White Sox cap tonight although I don't see it listed on the promotions page @whitesox.com but have seen it advertised during Sox games.

 

Here is an article of that musically historical day w/ video http://www.avclub.com/article/fifty-years-...hows-chi-224181 The article states the Beatles opened with a cover of the Isley Brothers Twist and Shout . The Isley's made it a hit but it was originally recorded by the Top Notes . However, The Beatles version was almost exactly like the Isley's version . Twist and Shout (Beatles version) was also used in the classic downtown Chicago parade scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off

 

Carlos Rodon pitches game 1 and Carson Fulmer the 2nd game . Rodon has a 2.12 ERA over his last 4 starts w/ 28 K's and 6 BB's in 28 2/3 innings. It will be Fulmer's season debut.

 

I assume if the Sox lose game 1 that I am still responsible for the game 2 thread and will be making a separate thread for that game unless someone informs me otherwise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let's honor the bugs with a couple of wins

As an obsessed Beatles fan, and obviously a chisox fan, Id love to see one of these hats and would like to know if there was a way to get one...

I was at the evening show. After the second show the Beatles went for ice cream at Margies in Bucktown. Margies is still there on the corner of Armitage and Western.

I found this link on the Sox Facebook page about the promotion. It is pretty limited . Only 1000 caps so it may be sold out already but go to the link and follow the instructions. You can only pick up the cap at the game with a voucher http://m.mlb.com/whitesox/tickets/special-events/beatles

 

If it is sold out or you aren't able to attend then I would look on ebay as soon as possible , even tonight or early tomorrow, if you are interested in paying for one on the secondary market.

Cool little nugget of Sox history. Thanks for that.

Pretty big 24 hours of pitching going on here. Rodon and Fulmer tonight, Kopech making his AAA debut tonight as well. Giolito tomorrow for the Sox, and I believe Alec Hansen also pitches tomorrow for the Dash. He has been absolutely stellar.

 

Not expecting a lot out of Fulmer tonight as he has largely underwhelmed in AAA this year, but he might surprise. Still obviously a lot of growing and developing to do. Like many , I see him as a future reliever.

You're welcome . Also the solar eclipse is tonight. Could be a wild night on the south side.

Moncada batting 2.

Edited August 21, 20178 yr by flavum

No Sano for the entire series....

BUG MUSIC?!

Moncada to sit for game 2 due to the injury and not wanting to be overworked

Not sure I've ever seen the park that empty...dayum.

Rodon's velocity down again or trying to be Verlander?

Come on Anderson. Total brain fart costs what was probably an out.

Automated. Strike. Zone.

Rodon's velocity down again or trying to be Verlander?

I'd say first inning

Rodon's velocity down again or trying to be Verlander?

 

He throws hard later on, so the latter.

another BB for Moncada.

I'm watching MLB's "Gameday," rather than the live video. What is this 95 mph curveball that the Twins pitcher is throwing?

Another hit and run from Ricky. Moncada is still not 100%, but who knows if he'll ever be a 30+ SB guy here under Ricky.

Abreu I believe extended his hit streak to 10 games

looks like a cutter.

Damn youth.

Baserunning miscues...
