Today was actually a gorgeous day - sunny, not a cloud in the sky, temp s just under 70 degrees. Before the game, there was a video tribute to former White Sox shortstop Chico Carrasquel who died this past week. They played the Venezuelan National Anthem (which feels a lot longer than ours). The Great Lakes Naval Band played our National Anthem, and then Challenger - a bald eagle - flew into the stadium and landed on his handler who was standing on the pitching mound. It turns out, we saw challenger before the game just flying around the park. We thought it was a hawk at first, but it just didn't look right. It was bigger.
Today marked the return of Frank Thomas, who hasn't played since last July. He went 0-for-2 and got hurt - strained hip flexor. I didn't feel he was ready to come back - now I'm positive. He's not helping the team.
Mark Buerhle pitched a decent game, all the way into the 9th. Unfortunately, Damaso Marte came in, blew a save opportunity, blew the lead. I really didn't think we'd get out of it. But we did. And we NEEDED it.
