Black Sox Blog

It’s another special treat for me. As I sit in my hotel room in BFE Nebraska, I get to check out my White Sox as they’re the ESPN game of the week. As it stands, it’s the fourth inning, and the Sox are down 1-0.

What a game yesterday though. Four ninth inning runs to walk off with win (literally) and a pair of Twins losses this weekend and the White Sox can extend their lead to 7 1/2 games with a win tonight. Now that’s a nice cushion.

Aaron Rowand tied the game in the ninth with an RBI single, and it was A.J. Pierzinski who launched a walk off two run shot to win it for the White Sox.

The Sox are now 29-12 in games decided by two runs or less. Surpisingly, the Sox no longer lead the AL in ERA. It’s the surging Indians that passed them, and if the Twins don’t watch out, they’re going to be in third place soon. They Indians have won nine in a row, and they’re now a single game back of the Twins. Even the Tigers aren’t that far behind.
