July 17, even with the Pretenders sputtering as they have, is too early.
There was the temptation to look around for it, make sure we knew where it was just in case, when the White Sox got three off Brad Penny in the second inning this afternoon. Even the outs were hit hard.
Another loss to the South Siders would mean a sweep, at home, at the hands of the Pretenders' closest pursuers who would then be only three games in the rear view mirror.
B-Bash homered leading off the fourth. Put it on the board ...... YEE-EES!
Then, with Dirks and Ordonez on in the sixth, with first base open, the Sox pitched to V-Mart. He singled both in. After a Peralta single moved him to second, Carlos Guillen plated him.
Give that man a text name. Car Gui.
How refreshing it is, to have Ryan Strikeout where he belongs, grabbing some bench.
Hinge played, went 0 for 3 (.180 be the average after today's game) and struck out twice. The pitcher hitting ninth.
At Camden Yards, the Indians let the Orioles stay just close enough to remain in the game, and then gave it away late, 8-3. The Tribe defeat and Tiger win leave the two tied for first; the Tigers at 50-45 with one fewer win, and one fewer loss.
