May 5, 201213 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 5, 2012 -> 05:56 PM) Nice to win one like that after losing one the same way last night. This. GAVIN, DUNN, REED!
May 5, 201213 yr Breaks the string of poor results in Detroit. We're now 3-11 in our last 14 at Comerica. Tigers were 77-0 last year when leading after 7 innings, this year they've ALREADY lost 5 games. Doubt they continue that pace and lose 27 for the entire season, but that's a difference most of us expected with Valverde being 49/49 last year in saves converted. And Floyd, ever since we acquired him, has been best against the Tigers of all AL teams.

Interesting since they are always so good offensively.
May 5, 201213 yr Biggest hit of Dunns White Sox career right there. THAT is what team leaders do. When the team is down and out the big guys step up and put the team on their backs. HUGE WIN!

May 5, 201213 yr The White Sox world isn't coming to an end ... at least until tomorrows game. Game threads just awful.
May 5, 201213 yr Valverde: Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Bet he wasn't dancing after that. Piece of s***. Saw the highlight of Dunn's ball. I don't think it's even landed yet. Christ was that CRUSHED...

It took three different throws to get it from where it landed, back on to the field

May 5, 201213 yr And let's not forget the 1st pitch fastball that Paul WORLD Konerko deposited in LF. Why do they even try?
May 6, 201213 yr Huge win. Let's see what Axelrod can do against a lineup that is bound to produce better than it has so far. Tough situation for him, but it is what it is.

When the team is down and out the big guys step up and put the team on their backs. HUGE WIN! 1.) Good call. Like the announcers said this loss was just as painful for Detroit as Friday's was for the Sox. 2.) Dunn has hit some big home runs this year. He's actually earned his contract this year. No complaints about him. Reed looked great. There's no reason in the world to not give him the next save opportunity. Why in the world would you insert Sale as closer when it's Reed's time?
May 6, 201213 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ May 5, 2012 -> 08:09 PM) I think that's about as far as Adam can hit a ball... He hit one across 2 states in 2004.
May 6, 201213 yr So they said that ball, which cleared the bleachers, went 422 feet. The Centerfield fence is 420 feet from home plate. There is no way in hell that ball went only 422 feet
May 6, 201213 yr Addison Reed celebrates by attending the Weird Al concert at Fox Theater in Detroit. Nice.

There is no way in hell that ball went only 422 feet That was more like 450, at least. Hit tracker should have the true distance up by tonight. FWIW, Hafner's hit the longest home run of the season at 481 feet. Video: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_...61&c_id=mlb I think Dunn's went just as far. Edited May 6, 201213 yr by chw42

This might be the single most "on point" post I have ever seen on this site. Thank you for your level headed comment and GO SOX!
May 6, 201213 yr I just watched the replay of Dunn's homerun. That was easily 450 feet. I like how the announcers said it took two relays to get it back on the field.
