As you can see from the two photographs above the White Sox were having a hell of a time with the Yankees last night at US Cellular Field.  13 runs in 3 innings is never a good thing.  Julie actually won these tickets in a raffle at Finley Dunnes so I will pretend it didn’t happen.

It was Mayor Daley Night at US Cellular Field which consisted of a commemorative baseball, a small speech and a montage.  The funny part was the baseball wasn’t handed out until you left the park so as to keep people from the throwing the ball at the former mayor.

The White Sox organization thinks of everything.

***** At one point in the game they decided to mix things up to get the Sox back in it and they changed bags at first base. Clearly Adam Dunn was not impressed.

After being on the road for a week it’s back to Chicago Baseball. Last night I witnessed the White Sox get blown out 10-2 by the Red Sox. The game started off quickly with no hits until the 4th inning and then it just blew apart with a series of home runs by the Red Sox. The White Sox began to rally in the 7th and 8th but the Red Sox just destroyed them with 5 runs in the top of the 9th inning.

IMG_0851.jpgAt Schaller's Pump -

**** Before the game Julie and I took an epic bus trip to Schaller’s Pump for a couple pregame drinks. We’ve tried once before to stop there but the bar doesn’t open until 4pm on Saturday’s which makes it a little bit difficult for a 6pm game. So we took the bus and it was worth the ride. Cans of beer run $2.75 nearly as cheap as a Lenten Fish Fry.

US Cellular Field: White Sox – Indians.

It’s hard to believe but merely I am rounding second in this stretch of Baseball that includes six games in ten days.  Last night with total reckless abandon (and that fact that my office has an average temperature of 79.0 °F) I decided to forgo wearing a coat and of course the night turned into Gotham City before the game began. Julie ended up buying me a sweatshirt but that’s another story.

The White Sox faced off against one of the better teams in Baseball and had no trouble from the start.  The Indians got on the bored in the first inning but that was really all they had until a 9th inning Home Run by Matt LaPorta.  The White Sox took the lead in bottom of the 1st inning off a Paul Konerko two-run double and never looked back beating the Indians 8-2.

* With Julie’s help I’m getting a lot better at keeping score, though it still reminds me of Math.

** This was by far the most fog I’ve ever seen at a baseball game.
