2. Chicago White Sox 3.60 54 40 22 33 95 4 0 847.2 810 382 339 82 264 676 57 1.27 .251
Second in the AL isn't too shabby.
Edit: Second in ERA. fourth in wins, third in strikeouts. Still not too bad so far this year.

 

Well, I hope you're right, because I sure as fuck don't want the Red Sox there. But I assume it will be them. Again.

 

No, it's not. I just don't expect it to last.

 

Joe Nathan vs. Nate McLouth is the matchup I've waited all week to see.

 

Well, if nothing else, you know your team will at least try to improve itself at the trade deadline. Kenny Williams is nothing if not active as a GM.

 

This is one of the stupidest fucking "traditions" in sports.

 

I'm disappointed. No Ronan Tynan with God Bless America?

 

This guy takes longer than Tynan and doesn't even include the first verse. Hurry the fuck up already.

 

What's sad is that leading off the sixth inning you could have had Edison Volquez come on to face Josh Hamilton but no, where's the fun in that?

 

This kid can sing.

 

Are we at the 7th inning stretch already?

Either the game is on record pace or I missed something while writing about the APL in Colorado.

Edit: Now it's time for my dinner.

 

Umm, I'm a Yankees fan.

I hope the White Sox get Freddy An. Garcia back.
