Live by the Long Ball...


Well, it isn’t every day you get to see a player hit homeruns in four consecutive at-bats the way Jose Abreu of the White Sox did Saturday and Sunday.  In fact, it’s only been done 43 times in all of MLB  history.  And it isn’t every day you see a Sox player hit six homers in a series.  No, only Abreu has managed that.  And the six homers by an opposing player ties for the most-ever against the Cubs, so that’s nice.

 

I just hate losing 2-1 on a two-run homer by Kyle Schwarber.  Maybe next time Dylan Cease and/or his catcher will notice how bad Schwarber looks on anything that isn’t low and away.  As ever, fingers crossed.

Not too long ago, when the Sox had themselves a six-game winning streak, I said that mediocre teams give half or more of that away.  In fact, my team went from three over .500 to one under before their seven-game streak ended Sunday.  We were 17-11 and now 17-12.  With the Pirates and Royals coming to town this week, there’s no reason to go mediocre.  We’ll see.
