Thome Walks Off Angels. Again.

Thats what I get for working tonight.

that ball was like fucking BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Watched the highlights on ESPN News, the stadium looked pretty full for a 15 inning game.

Obviously Q! died for our sins in order for the gates of the AL Central to be opened.

To conclude, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Clearly, I still think Thome should have been DFAed and Owens called up back in June. The man is simply out of gas.

Who am I kidding…I’m Afraid The Damage Is Quite Severe!

Great win.

HUGS.

It was fireworks night so most of the crowd stayed the whole game. Bravo bullpen, besides the Jenks hiccup (crushed) they were outstanding. That 10th inning was frustrating and I found myself yelling at Thome (“dude you are so unclutch”) I can say I wish he would have altered his style just a bit in that situation and not take 2 strikes.

Konerko looked good and Griffrey made pretty solid contact all night. The better news was doing it against Lackey so initially the team does seem to understand they are far from a 1 man offensive team and continue to rake at home.

I couldnt truly tell Floyd’s problem from my view. Did he just continue to get the ball up?

2.5 up and one more game off the schedule.

I couldn’t have asked for a better evening.
Thome beat the shit out of that ball. And then punched all the Angels in the dicks, one-by-one.

off to the races! may not be around for the game, dammmmmmit!
so GO SOX!! bring home a winner!

BULLPEN, YES!!!!!!

Thornton says: “95. 97. 96. 95-he gone!”

YES.

on L.A. tee-vee the announcers kept talking about playoff atmosphere. Sure felt like a big night.

Everyone coming out of the woodwork. What a bunch of front-runners.

Prospectus: During April and May, the key to White Sox success had been their pitching; they had a lineup that was barely getting by with a .245/.326/.400 line, but their pitchers were holding opponents to a measly .241/.309/.358. That dynamic shifted with warmer weather; in June, they hit .300/.361/.521, and they haven’t slowed down much since then, putting together a combined line of .280/.345/.489. Granted, their home park has plenty to do with this—their Isolated Power at home is .245 against a still-solid .164 on the road—but it was a welcome change regardless, because the pitching staff began to falter following their incredible start. Since the time the offense went into overdrive, the pitchers have had a more difficult time, giving up a .269/.325/.435 line, including a horrendous .304/.359/.479 away from The Cell. This explains some of the White Sox’s struggles on the road; they are 32-39 there thanks to an offense with less production and a pitching staff that can’t keep men from scoring. At home they are nigh unstoppable at 48-22. With Carlos Quentin out of the picture for now, the Sox may be in trouble for the remainder of the month; losing the club’s best bat is going to sting, especially since the slugger was one of the few Pale Hose killing the ball on the road (.300/.390/.560 in 243 at-bats).

Manager Bruce Bochy said that Gillaspie wouldn’t start a game immediately but might be available sooner for pinch-hitting. The 21-year-old spent the previous few weeks batting a combined .269 with no home runs and 15 RBIs for the Giants’ Rookie-level Arizona League affiliate and short-season Salem-Keizer, so playing in the Majors would be an ambitious leap.
