The Good
0-10 final score is pretty good. But the story here is Sergio Mitre, who threw 6.1 innings of one-hit baseball and would've pitched more had he not taken a liner off his catching arm.
The Bad
Remember when the Chi-Sox took three of four from us a couple weeks ago? WTF?
The Ugly
Chicago pitching takes this one, and that cheating Pierzynski who hit poor Mitre in order to force him from the game.
Single-Payer System
A-Rod continues to love the kids, hitting his 23rd home run against the dreaded Black Sox. Chants of "1919" erupted throughout the game.

Correction: Mitre was hit on his throwing arm (his right), not his catching arm. Thanks a lot Suzyn Waldman and John Sterling. They literally watched the replay from the booth and repeatedly stated it was Mitre's left arm that was hit. Wow.
This world is a weird place.
ReplyDeleteMitre almost pitched a perfect game while Cliff Lee gave up 6 runs (3 HRs)in 5 innings.
And could somebody please tell Ozzie's boys they're supposed to be Major League players?
Tell 'em tomorrow.

Were there really chants of 1919 throughout the game?
ReplyDeleteSorry Hunter, I may have made that one up. But still, there should've been.
