Wee-wee-wee!

Rooting for the White Sox is a little like being the Geico pig on a zipline, "pure adrenalin," or me on a roller coaster at Riverview (hey, I was very young and tall for my age). Either way, it’s hard to keep your balance by game’s end. Lucas Giolito couldn’t keep the ball in the park against the Tigers on Saturday, Dylan Cease shuts them down for seven innings on Sunday, leading to a 3-0 White Sox win that gave the South Siders three out of four against our friends from Detroit. Cease has made seven career starts against the Tigers, good for a 7-0 record and 1.91 ERA; he’s 6-13 against everyone else. Dylan, mirror as soon as Lucas steps away. Yesterday also marked Adam Engel’s regular-season debut, and Superman with a glove hardly missed a beat, preserving Cease’s shutout with a homerun-stealing catch over the wall against Niko Goodrum in the fifth inning. Adam, I beg of you, please stay healthy.
