The White Sox did it! I apologize in advance if this post is a little haphazard. I am absolutely going nuts right now. John Danks pitched out of his mind, Jim Thome broke the Thome Curse (which may or may not have ever existed anyway), and Bobby Jenks came in and dominated in the 9th.
The Chicago White Sox will now take on the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Thursday in Tampa. I believe the game is at 2:30 ET and on TBS. I’ll confirm that later tonight or tomorrow.
Wow. What a game tonight. I’m not even going to get into previewing the Rays series, or talking about pitching rotations, anything. It’s a good night to just sit back and savor three great wins by the White Sox when our backs were against the wall. Mark Buehrle, Gavin Floyd, and John Danks stepped up and pitched huge, and we got big contributions from different people each game.
Ken Griffey Jr. came up big with a huge through from center to gun down Michael Cuddyer, and A.J. Pierzynski made a great play to hang onto the ball and get the out. Then Jim Thome came up a few at bats later to jack the ultimately game-winning home run. Just a great, great night for the White Sox.
I’ll probably post again later, and Kaner should be filing a report tonight or tomorrow. He was at The Cell tonight, and is probably stumbling around the concourse right now piss drunk and happy as hell. I wish I was there. Way to go White Sox!!!!!
