Sale-ing Along


Last night in Yankee Stadium, Chris Sale threw all of 99 pitches in a complete game rout of the Yankees, 7-1.  Sale has started the season 8-0 in eight starts.

All White Sox wins are sweet, against the Yankees doubly so.  One of my guilty pleasures is reading the NYT sports’ section online.  For anyone who doesn’t know, all sports were invented in New York, and those that weren’t have been perfected there.  If you don’t believe me, just ask a New Yorker.

The Times’ story compared Sale to Randy Johnson, which was very nice of them, and went on to note that the Yankees were hoping starter Luis Severino—2-2/3 innings, seven hits, four walks, seven runs—might be in the same league as Sale.  The Times’ doesn’t have a comics’ page, but that doesn’t keep it from being funny.
