We both had our foot on the gas pedal, you just stepped on it first.

The bullpen stopped being fair a while ago, now it's just cheating

Brent!

Big win. I really thought this team could turn it around up until the Yankees decimated them, after that I thought they would free fall. Strange how things work.

Sale was quite good and I think he would gotten the save.

Sale and Santos=lights out!

We both had our foot on the gas pedal, you just stepped on it first.

 

Damn right.

 

Team is kinda fun to watch again...trouble is we're still possibly 5 out and making up that ground is going to be very difficult.

That bullpen is nasty. Sale and Santos looked unhittable.

5 games really is nothing. All depends on how we play.

Anybody see Showalter bump into Cuzzi's shoulder after getting tossed? Thought you arent allowed to make any contact with the umpires, wonder if he'll be suspended

Sometimes you wonder if AJ and Sale are falling in love with that slider too much, but it has been working so well recently.

 

Frasor, you really were fortunate that leadoff walk didn't score, had the 0-2 count and Adam Jones should have been on 2nd base with no outs.

 

Things seem to be breaking our way....with the blown Markakis steal call at 3B. That inning changed completely around.

 

Alexei continues to be maddeningly frustrating both offensively and defensively.

 

 

Nice to see the homer by Morel, definitely he was due. Turned out to be the winning run. Nice job by AJ to hang in there and drive in a run against a LHP. He's really been our best hitter after Konerko for most of the last 2 months.

 

Hawk, stop your man-crush on Gordon Beckham until he's actually hitting .280 or higher.

I saw it, but i saw it as incidental contact, not a shove. Cuzzi turned a few different ways to get out of the way of Showalter but Buck was trying to shadow him. If he is fined I wont agree with it

it was incidental but it occured because he was crowding the f*** out of Cuzzi, like "i'm getting in your face"

It is literally the most unhittable pitch in baseball last I knew.

yes, but since he's searching desperately for a string of negatives to post about the game, you have to cut him some slack.

Actually I just realized he put Sale, not Santos. N/M

First time with back-to-back one-run victories in Baltimore since 4/20-22, 1993

 

50 days left to tease us.

Kudos to Morel for that bomb.

And Quentin's bomb as well.

Folks, we go as far as our long ball takes us. Keep bombing away, White Sox.

Then why do you support the bunt?

yes, but since he's searching desperately for a string of negatives to post about the game, you have to cut him some slack.

 

 

Is it back to we can only post positives when we win games because we won, so everything must have been right/correct?

 

Let's keep in mind it's the Orioles we're playing, not the Tigers.

 

1) Lillibridge is our best option at 1B defensively

2) Morel has been looking better at the plate recently

3) Quentin is showing signs of going on a hot streak and carrying the team for 7-10 games at a time like he did in 2008.

4) Floyd survived the adversity and pitched through it coming off the rough start against the Yankees

5) Frasor got a key out of Vladimir Guerrero (although Hawk was right, 2-3 years ago Guerrero drops the head of the bat more quickly and crushes it)

6) Chris Sale has been the most improved player on the Sox from April-May until now

7) Santos is becoming a monster

8) AJ is the consummate professional hitter

9) Team just seems more confident and has been holding leads or rallying when necessary

10) First five game win streak for the Sox....White Sox are 7 games over .500 now on the road

The next 5 games are all winnable. Win all of them and you're definitely back in this thing.
