Didn't the Sox do this in a game vs Randy Johnson?
Or was that just back-to-back-to-back?
Coffee is for closers.
Back-to-back-to-back
But, there were 4 in the inning.
http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/2005/B08210CHA2005.htm
WHITE SOX 4TH: Ozuna grounded out (shortstop to first); Iguchi
homered; Rowand homered; Konerko homered; Dye singled to left;
Uribe singled to right [Dye to third]; Widger homered [Dye
scored, Uribe scored]; Anderson popped to third; Blum lined to
shortstop; 6 R, 6 H, 0 E, 0 LOB. Yankees 1, White Sox 6.
I was at that game.
Pretty awesome to see the obnoxious Yankees fan behind us shut is New York yap after the third shot. After Widger—Widger!—homered, he left. I believe that game snapped a 6-game slide. Maybe even 7. Anyway, the Sox needed it, and I was thrilled to be there.
Ditto, was nice to shut the Yanks fans up
But, of course, the mandatory Red Sawks fans were there to get in their grill (at least where I was sitting).
Last time we did back-to-back-to-back: 8/27/07 vs. Rays
http://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/2007/B08270CHA2007.htm
WHITE SOX 7TH: Pierzynski homered; Dye homered; Uribe homered;
Richar doubled to right; WHEELER REPLACED JACKSON (PITCHING);
Gonzalez struck out; Wheeler threw a wild pitch [Richar to
third]; Owens struck out; Fields homered [Richar scored]; Thome
was called out on strikes; 5 R, 5 H, 0 E, 0 LOB. Devil Rays 4,
White Sox 5.
And damn,
updated on Wiki already!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_run
Four home runs in a row by consecutive batters has only occurred six times in the history of Major League Baseball. Following convention, this is called back-to-back-to-back-to-back. Twice it has happened against one pitcher, most recently by the Chicago White Sox against the Kansas City Royals on August 14th, 2008 in U.S. Cellular Field. Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Alexei Ramirez and Juan Uribe all hit home runs against pitchers Joel Peralta and Robinson Tejada consecutively.4
Man, wiki is good!
I hardly got an email out to my friend letting him know.

Although, technically wrong
The way it’s worded, it sounds like we hit them all off of the same pitcher.
Dang.
If only there were some way that ordinary people like you and I could amend that thing.

Feel free to monkey with the wording. I’m sure someone probably has in the time it took me to post.
The pop outs with RISP are killing me
"I’m gonna rise up, gonna kick a little ass. Gonna kick some ass in the USA. Gonna climb a mountain, gonna sew a flag, gonna fly on an eagle. I’m gonna kick some butt, gonna drive a big truck. I’m gonna rule this world. I’m gonna kick some ass. I’m gonna rise up, gonna kick a little ass. Rock, flag, and eagle!"
Literally.
Pop…..
OUTs!

The only thing that could have made that better is a Q! homer in one of them "backs." I miss Q! homers.

meh, this team can't even break the consecutive home run record.

if ever there was a game that so perfectly encapsulated the essence
of SSH this was it. From bitching at every pitch from Broadway in the 1st, to complaining about the lack of Ks while the Royals were being blanked, to whining about not scoring with RISP, to disappearing when the Sox put the game away (with 2 outs no less).
Sigh.
In two weeks they will win 7 or 8 in a row and you all will have 10 inch boners.

Just two playoff appearances in 14 years will do that to you.

and a title.
and you probably were pissed we only scored 1 run to clinch
How are the rest of us so unscathed?

the world series appearance and win makes a big difference.
as does the relative lack of terrible seasons during even the run he cites. again, can’t imagine what kind of state he’d be in if he had been an orioles, cubs, reds, rockies, tigers, royals, dodgers, brewers, mets, phillies, pirates, padres, mariners, rays, rangers, blue jays, or nationals fan.

You need to check your eyes then, old man...
I was still posting when the Sox took the lead. I said that this should be a sweep before the series started. The Sox are at home and the Royals are garbage.

yes, now I remember your apology for being wrong at every fucking turn of this game.
and where the fuck is fucking Washburn?

if Washburn had been pitching for them.

Jarrod Washburn...
is Chicago tough. He can handle it.
The score just mentioned that Broadway was optioned down tonight. No press release, though.

Probably to make room for Clayton Richard...
but it seems like he will be a lefty out of the bullpen this time around. I wish someone would report on what the deal is. Is Thornton’s back hurting him or what?
I wonder who starts the next game when Contreras’ spot in the rotation is due up again?
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
So the Sox are just using Richard as a reliever...
until they replace him with Broadway when they need a starter for the Mariners?
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
they won't be able to do that, right, with the 10 day rule?

Broadway had a great start but would you expect a repeat performance against a better team?

you got the welcome mat out?

Sheesh man, that's incredible
Small sample size, even a broken clock is right twice a day, and every dog has its day qualifications aside, nice to see that Broadway was able to bring it. That he did better than Liriano against the same lineup is pretty sweet.
Were the Twins at home that game?

Are the Brooks charts right? They had Broadway's average fastball above 90.
I’d heard it was much worse than that?

I saw 88 - 91 MPH the whole game...
His curveball looked pretty sweet but he didn’t throw it much. He was probably worried about throwing a hanger.
