Wow.  Does that make it official that everyone now recognizes TLR is an albatross for this team and cannot even be around them for games anymore?

The biggest regular season game I've been to, possibly the biggest regular season game in White Sox history. Cleveland won the Monday opener, and the Sox lead was down to 2 1/2 games after holding a large division lead all season. The Dark Clouds were circling on WSI, but the team and specifically Joe Crede came to play and win. There was no looking back after this game, the Sox were going hard for the World Series crown.

"JOOOOOOOOOEEEE CREEEEDDDDDEEEE" (7:30 mark)

 

 

Joe Crede was the man, favorite player on the '05 team hands down.  It still bums me out what happened with his back.  If only we had someone like him on this team now, Cleveland wouldn't stand a chance.  Moncada couldn't carry his jock strap.

3B and chronic back injury, like peanut butter and jelly. remember Eric Chavez?

This series rides on the starting pitching. 7 innings, 2 or fewer runs from all three. 

Very tall order . Doubt many staffs have had 3 consecutive games like that all year.

My advice? Get an early lead and hit HR's.

If Yaz gives us one legitimate bat drop this series, Sox go to the playoffs.

It was always predetermined when Sheets hit a road HR followed by  LH Grandal and Moncada HR's . In before you last week. Put money on the Sox taking the division !

Disclosure: No way in hell I'd do that but should get good odds .

A very tall order but a piece of legendary future history if we pull it off.

He came through in the 2005 final game of the ALCS in Anaheim too. The pennant clincher I was at.

Still can do that and lose the games if you don't hit a lick but records are always real good when you are the first to score and hit multiple HR's.

Well as Elvis sang, "It's now or never..."

Thank you, thank you very much...

You probably know this Lip Man, but it's an English adaptation of the 1898 Neapolitan song "O Sole Mio" and it pains me to say it but another English adaptation of it was a big hit in the 1950's for Tony Martin under the title "There's No Tomorrow."   Now I've scared myself.

 

Here's hoping there is a tomorrow.

It’s been dark & gloomy the past hour near the park, but only now just started raining.  The radar makes me think the worst of it stays north but who knows.

It wasn’t a long storm but it dropped a lot of rain in a short period of time 

Intense looking at GRF, but not for long.  Radar looks like clear by game time.
