May 30, 20169 yr Given this dramatic collapse after playing so well for a stretch immediately brought my thoughts back to 1991. On August 12, 1991 the Sox were one game behind the Twins. Wilson Alvarez the day before had just no-hit the Orioles in Baltimore and the Sox had won 19 of 23. That night Bobby Thigpen gave up the game tying home run in the 9th inning, Donn Pall game up the game winning home run in the 11th inning. The Sox lost 15 of their next 17 games. They were nine games out on August 28 after getting swept three games in K.C. This year of course they started 23-10 and have now lost 14 of their last 18. Amazing isn't it? Mark
May 30, 20169 yr I recall that being a more talented team than this. But that team had some budding future stars about to hit stride. Don't see that on this year's version
