Second day straight of gorgeous weather, and we get to spend it at a ballgame. "the Cell" was not as crowded as last night, but still pretty full. Still, a great night for baseball.
We knew Mark Buehrle wouldn't last long when he threw 17 pitches to Rafael Palmiero in the first, only to strike him out looking. A Rod was on first and was breaking to second on each of the last dozen pitches. He was getting winded!
It turned into another rout - 5 homeruns. Last night, Jose Valentin had 2, tonight he had one but Frank Thomas had 2. We also had homers from Joe Crede and Carlos Lee.
When the lights came up after fireworks tonight, we noticed that some damned friggin' idiot had run out onto the field and had 2 or three security guys on top of him. At least there weren't any players on the field. No matter what, this idiot should get fined and tossed in jail. I'm tired of that crap.

Guess what I got in the mail today from the Chicago White Sox?
An invoice.
For playoff tickets!
Holy crap, I sort of didn't expect it. Since we're only Weekend Season Ticketholders, we don't get a full set of tickets. We get 3 AL Division Series games, 1 AL Championship Series game and 1 World Series game. World Series game! Oh, and parking, too.
I'm giddy. Now, I'm a realist. I'm not expecting to actually get to the World Series. But... how cool is this!!!!
Now all we have to do is scrounge around for the money.
PLAYOFF TICKETS!!! I must remember to not count my chickens...
