White Sox @ Oakwilt

Cease takes the mound in Oakland. Sox and Minny tied two games back. Sox need W's.

And big time at that.

Can we tell the White Sox offense that Cease is always on the mound?

A rare non-nail biter.........well, so far.

How do they have no hits through 4 IP against a reliever?

9th inning rally!

unbelievable comeback ... especially for a sox team.

Win a few games like tonight and you begin to feel like you're bullet proof. Once again Andrus comes up big.

For 8 innings the jinx was on. By that I mean anytime the Sox have a big night at the plate like they did in game 1, they always come out flat the following game. And as I said, for 8 innings this was exactly the case. Somehow, someway they managed to pull it together tonite in their final at bat. A huge come-from-behind win!

I was thinking exactly this until the rally.

Easy boys…We still got two more to win. Until then we’re still sh*tty.

I don’t think anyone here is ready to crown this team. Heck even if they win the next two they still have an uphill climb to the division. But it is nice to be able to celebrate a win like this vs. yet another soul-crushing loss.

I'm beginning to believe in miracles and Elvis! Again, I say to you - Who is more mediocre than these White Sox? The Sox are destined to represent the Mediocre division in the playoffs, or they will roll over into a mediocre fetal position and end the season that way.

We're a team that has underperformed all season. We're a team that should be much better than it is. We're a team that at the very least should have met expectations. But when you're 3 games over .500, you're not a shitty team.

The Cubs are a shitty team
The Royals are a shitty team
The Tigers are a shitty team
The Angels are a shitty team
The Texans are a shitty team
The A's are a shitty team
The Marlins are a shitty team
The Nationals are a shitty team
The Reds are a shitty team
The Pirates are a shitty team
The Rockies are a shitty team

Think it was just a Major League reference.

I think we've been over this. We're sh*tty beyond belief...BUT...We win the next two games...World Series baby.

I take pride in my neighbors' sh*ttier-looking houses when I procrastinate yard work...so I can empathize here.
