Friday
night, I watched the White Sox/Rays’ game on TV. Clare’s apartment complex isn’t wired for
cable, so she sat out on her balcony and listened on the radio. No doubt, Ed Farmer called a very nice game,
that being a 1-0 complete-game win by Chris Sale.
It’s
early, but what a difference a year makes.
Last June, Sale took a 1-0 lead into the seventh inning at Tropicana
Field only to have Asdrubal Cabrera hit a two-run homer, enough for a 2-1 Rays’
win. On Friday, with one out in the
bottom of the ninth, Brandon Guyer of the Rays hit a ball I thought was
gone. So did Sale, judging by how he
flinched after delivering the pitch.
But, No, Melky Cabrera caught it backed up against the wall in left.
And
to think that would give us the same 8-2 record as Da Cubs. I hope nobody on the North Side is too upset
with that.
