I'm not sure but I may have to go with that KC game.

I would say the KC game cause we were actually winning in that game. The other ones we were trailing and we came back. I just call those comeback games since we were down practically most of the game. I call that KC game "an ugly win."

They were all ugly but I will go with Friday's game...

That's the trifecta of ugly (not to be confused with my Brother's ex-girlfriends :D ). But I gotta go with today.

I would have to say KC. I say that mainly because of the fact that we were down and out and in recent years would have curled up into a ball and died. This year we fight back and win.

 

All 3 were very ugly though.

I don't blame C-Lee for a flukey play today -- he HAS improved since 2001-2002 when he was getting picked off and distracted in the field pretty regularly.....BUT his next year's salary bothers me.

 

900 OPS is the magic number, and so far Carlos is nowhere near that -- his career is like 815, which is pretty good for a 1-2 Mill player, but at 9, it ain't gonna cut it.

 

He is just so....It's not like he can't lay off bad pitches or hit to CF-RF because I've seen him do it many times. I think he lacks the intensity, the ambition or something. Not a very smart player, that's for sure.

I go with today. This team didn't deserve to win anything until the 8th and 9th inning. They were swinging for the fences every AB up until then.

balk, 2 errors, wild pitch, mental mistakes and walks... Fridays game wins for me

Friday's game was the ugliest because we didn't win it, Tampa Bay's lack of defense lost it.

I have to say Friday's game. But, that is the only one I have seen any part of, so that might contribute to my choice.

Carlos got picked off 1st by the catcher huh? I know that when he drops fly balls hit right at him he looks plenty good doing it, Did he at least look stylish in getting picked off or was he just standing there showing the "huh?" face

He was actually pretty pissed off about it, he argued the call with the ump, but it was the right call. Ed Perez made a great play getting his lower leg down accross the front of the base, giving Carlos no where to touch the base. Fundementally it was a great play by the 1B, a great example for any kids out there. Now if Carlos goes in spikes first, he is safe, or Perez is hurting.

Today's game is by far the "ugliest" win of the season.

 

4/28 vs. Cle: Sox score 5 runs in the bottom of the ninth to erase an 8-4 deficit. Joe Crede scores the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Sandy Alomar. As late as the 7th inning, White Sox were trailing 8-2.

There is no such thing as an ugly win, just as there is no such thing as a beautiful loss or a moral victory.

ANY game that ends with a higher number on the correct side of the ledger is PURTY!!!!!

Im not sure I would call todays win ugly really. The only play that was ugly was the error by Brousard on Konerko's towering pop up. Otherwise, we earned this win by hitting the baseball hard and just staying alive...
