Little Leury saves the day after an ugly top of the 9th.
That was like a playoff game except Kimbrel forgot about it but he gets the win.
I hope Lynn is OK, tweaked his knee and limped off after the top of the 5th.
Magic number down to 9.
Angels up next, I'll take winning 2 out of the 3.Last edited by LITTLE NELL; 09-12-2021, 04:26 PM.Now coming up to bat for the White Sox is the Mighty Mite, Nelson Fox.

Lynn with a strong but short outing coming back. 5 IP, 2 H, 9 K.
Kimbrel wasn't help out by Robert taking a bad route to the Hernandez liner, but him walking the bases loaded set up the sac fly to tie it.
And is there a member of the Sox who has done whatever has been asked of him more than Leury? 49 RBI's this season.I want my $2

The 12-game division lead, the magic number of 9, and the upcoming schedule, together now give the Sox a decent chance to clinch the division before we even visit Cleveland.
Sox upcoming schedule:
3 v. LAA .493
3 @ TEX .369
3 @ DET .472
Cleveland upcoming schedule:
3 @ MIN (including DH) .444
3 @ NY .556
4 v. KC (including DH) .451
Even if Cleveland goes 6-4, the Sox only have to go 5-4, to have clinched this before the 9/23 doubleheader.

Well... um... THAT was unexpected, but VERY COOL!
I mean first Kimbrel blows another save then Eloy K's meekly, then Grandal goes down swinging and Leury's in the hole 0-2 against a guy thowing.97+ MPH bee-bee's and they're showing Wright warming up and I'm sure I'm not the only Sox fan screaming NOOOOOOO! at the TV set and then BOOM! I mean you knew it was well hit off the bat but it was to straight away center. Then the CF is sprinting back full speed. It was like time was frozen until he jumped sadly at the wall only to see the baseball clear it by 10 feet.
LITTLE LEURY!

I honestly was thinking right before the pitch that Leury would hit a HR if he got a hittable pitch. The Sox are now set up to clinch before even going to Cleveland if both teams lose 4 games before then.(Formerly asindc.)
"I have the ultimate respect for White Sox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Red Sox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country." Jim Caple, ESPN (January 12, 2011)
