Wow, the Sox win a game, blow up the singles can't win narrative, Giolito pitches lights out, and not only is there no postgame thread, but the gameday thread is minimalist. Where is everybody when things go well?

Sheets has got a nice stroke going, looks confident at the plate. Not a plus defender in RF, but doesn't look scared out there either. Can't forget Jose doing what he does best. Last night in the 8th, tonight the 7th.Ah, you can't beat fun at the old ball park.

That 2-48 stat is amazing, I wonder if the hitting coach has seen it.Now coming up to bat for the White Sox is the Mighty Mite, Nelson Fox.

I don’t know what it is when they play the Royals, or in fact those old KC A’s, but for the life of me they always seem to step in a cow pie when they need to get the job done.
Yup, 8 straight would be nice. In fact might wash away a lot of the stink from this season.

I went to the game yesterday. For some reason, I had a feeling that Giolito would have a good game. Spare crowd, and my first time seeing that strange LF configuration, the anti-Aaron Judge/Vlad Guerrero setup. I left after the top 7th with the score 3-1, feeling confident. Of course, I missed the biggest play of the game but Kasper captured the moment on radio as I was driving home. Kudos to Sheets in a homecoming game for him.(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)

if my memory is correct Danny Murphy’s only homer was over the right field cyclone fence.Last edited by Noneck; 08-25-2022, 11:07 AM.

I'd love to see someone build a park that was 360 down the lines and 440 to center, and build a team around speed and defense. But I know that will never happen, because bombs, baby!Nellie had more doubles than strikeouts every year from 1950 to 1963, and more triples (12) than strikeouts (11) in 1951 (682 plate appearances.)
