May 30, 200322 yr The White Sox go into Cleveland looking to rebound from a 4 game losing streak mostly due to a sweep courtesy of the Yankees. At the time the team was 28-25 and only 2.5 games out of first place: 5/31/02: 7-0 L WP: Colon LP: Glover 6/01/02: 8-4 L WP: Baez LP: Ritchie 6/02/02: 4-3 L WP: Finley LP: Wright A 3 game sweep courtesy of the Tribe and the Sox would not climb above .500 until sometime in September I believe. I also remember that June 1st game being especially painful when Ritchie gave up 8 unearned runs in one inning. Anyways, here's to a better trip to the Mistake than last summer. Go Sox!!
May 30, 200322 yr At least this year we're crappy,earlier in the season, to remove any surprises.We got two in a row-time to build on it.Let's see if there's still a pulse in this corpse of a team.We need 3 outta 4 or even a sweep.Anything short of that and we'll be just spinning our wheels.............

I was at that June 1st game, on our way to our Niagra Falls vacation. Suffice to say the only thing that went over the falls in a barrel was the Sox playoff chances.
May 30, 200322 yr I was there for the Ritchie affair. I think he had a perfect game going into the 5th then the defense completely feel apart. I drowned my sorrows in teh warehouse distrcit quite nicely. I think he lost hope after this and the Atlanta game.

That may have helped lead to his demise as well. Suppose it just took us a year to get started? We'll see this weekend. Indians

May 30, 200322 yr I was in my car on my way home from getting some overime on a Saturday. What a miserable game!
May 30, 200322 yr At least this year we're crappy,earlier in the season, to remove any surprises. Exactly. It was much easier to write off the '03 team on 04/24 than it was to write the '02 squad off on 05/30. At least the '02 squad, until their Cub-like "June Swoon", resembled something of a baseball team..... up until that point minus Ritchie. Wells, Fogg, and Lowe for Ritchie. I still laugh at that one. Thanks Kenny..... YOU f***! :fyou
