Indians vs. White Sox (9/7-9/9)

[Dam8610]

If the Sox keep losing, these titles are going to start changing to "White Sox lose to ________ (date-date)" for road series, and "________ beat White Sox (date-date)" for home series. It's ridiculous how badly this team is underacheiving.

[Dam8610]

Once again the offense is taking the ever popular "longball or bust" strategy up to the plate against a lefty with a good change (aka White Sox kryptonite). Another regular site for the South Siders in 2006 has been Buehrle getting shelled, which is happening once again tonight.

[Dam8610]

Will the White Sox squander what could be a rare good start for Freddy Garcia? My money is on yes, yes they will.

[Dam8610]

Well, the White Sox scored a run last inning, so there goes that good start. Look for Freddy Garcia to give up at least 2 in the top of the 5th.

[Dam8610]

I was half wrong. Freddy only gave up one run. That'll be good enough for Cleveland to win it though.

[Dam8610]

Or not, as Juan Uribe ties it with a rare hit, which of course it a HR to left field. That's the only direction Uribe can hit.

[Dam8610]

The White Sox now have something they haven't had in a while. I think it's called a "lead", but I can't be too sure, since I don't remember this happening much in the past month.

[Dam8610]

Time for Freddy to blow it again. The big question is: can he give up 2? This would likely put the Indians back on top for good.

[Dam8610]

Wow. The White Sox have retained this "lead" thing for a half inning. That's pretty good for the way they've been playing lately.

[Dam8610]

Here's an almost impossible sequence of events:

Uribe singled to center
Uribe stole second
Podsednik singled to center, Uribe scored
Podsednik stole second
Cintron walked, Podsednik stole third

[Dam8610]

Here comes the comeback...

[Dam8610]

MacDougal narrowly averts giving up the lead, but undoubtedly the Indians will score another run before this game is over.

[Dam8610]

6-5 on 4 straight doubles. My favorite Sox player blows the game. This is just wonderful.

[Dam8610]

A.J. Pierzynski saves the White Sox with a 2 run homer. 7-6 final. Garcia misses out on the win he should have had.

Where is Bobby Jenks?
