Wisdom

With experience comes wisdom, or should.  The last time the White Sox opened a four-game series at home against a bigtime Eastern Division team was in early May, when they beat the Red Sox on a Nicky Delmonico walk-off homerun.  How I crowed, only to have my Sox then get a Beantowner beat-down the next three games.  Oh, and Nicky Delmonico was released last week.  So, even though the Sox came back from a 4-0 deficit against the Yankees yesterday for a nice 5-4 win, there are three games to go.

 

No crowing here, but it was nice to see Leury Garcia finish an 11-pitch at-bat against Adam Ottavino with what proved to be the winning (home)run leading off the bottom of the seventh, and how nice to see Tim Anderson hit a three-run shot to tie the score in the fifth.  And how nice to see Aaron Bummer pick up the save, his first-ever, by striking out the last two batters, both right-handed.  Bummer has been used more as a lefty specialist, but that could change.

Lastly, how nice to see more than 25,000 in attendance.  I trust the Yankees’ fans were treated with all the courtesy and respect they deserved.
