This game had failure written all over it before it even started. Let's see, ESPN National Game. Bad news - Sox don't do well on National TV. Game 3 of the series that we're winning 2-0 - Sox don't sweep. They just never seem to get there. Jose Contreras pitching - catcher A.J. Pierzynski has said that sometime even he doesn't know what Contreras is going to throw.
The crowd was down from yesterday - 27,350 - but it's probably because it's Sunday Night instead of a day game, like normal. But they were really into the game. This series has just been exciting - and it just doesn't seem we're out of it.
It was the 21st White Sox comeback victory this season along with the club's fifth three-game sweep. Cliff Politte - a reliever - is now 5-0! And Dustin Hermanson closed - something we haven't seen in well over a week - for his 16th save.
And here it is - 23 days away from the All-Star Game, and we're 7 1/2 games in First Place, with still the best record in all of baseball (46-22).
It was a wonderful, electrifying experience to be at these games.
And yet, after all that, I still don't have a good feeling about the games this weekend against the Cubs...
