I wear my Meatball Badge with honor.
Sox seem to have their confidence back after the face plant near the season's end. Keuchel was signed for a start like in game 2 - and the Sox need to dominate and get an extra day of rest in before the next series.
Having Engle and Garcia at the corners was a good Renteria move as the Sox outfield gobbled up a lot of well hit balls with ease.
Also a small shoutout to Grandal for paying some dividends on his contract yesterday with a big HR.
Timmy Anderson's 1st inning hit was psychologically important - as it has been most of the season.
The most gratifying thing for me to witness as a White Sox fan is Jose Abreu - having the best season of his career after signing a three year contract that many thought was a money giveaway. Jose deserves every accolade for his commitment to the White Sox and his teammates.
Intangibles dun good. You go yard in the dance and we cool. Still not gaga over him or his voodoo value...but he drops a few more dongs and I will welcome him into my home for blackened fish sandwiches, iced tea and some mochi balls for dessert.
This team would not be where it is without Abreu. You couldn't write a better script. Very happy for him. He's holding it down for us big time while we wait for the younger guys to do their MVP do.
