White Sox 3, O's 1: Goin', goin', back, back, to reality

Here's a very scientific graph from user Y Not:

I believe that explains the game pretty well.

Adam Loewen gave up a hit to Swisher, walked Orlando Cabrera, and then Thome hit a three-run jack to start the game, and that was all the White Sox needed, since we predictably made Jose Contreras look like Roy Halladay.

Loewen did OK after the first three batters -- well, OK for Loewen. He walked five and struck out three, and threw 109 pitches in six innings, but hey. Six innings! A Christmas miracle! He still stunk, fundamentally.

Jim Johnson would be preferable to Greg Aquino, if you ask me.

The Yankees and Red Sox are tied 9-9 in the fifth fucking inning. I was going to watch Wednesday Night Fights. Fuck you guys.

Would have been 4-0

Luke’s throw to the plate was pretty awesome. I guess I’m too used to our fielders not making that play.

Sigh

Got back from the gym just for the joy of watching the O’s go down 1-2-3 in the ninth by the president of the Jim Neidhart fan club.

Sure, he may be a dominant close, but boy does Bobby Jenks look like a retard.

No Mo Birdland?

It will be a long and bumpy season.

I see some mechanical problems

Look at that grip. What is that? A change up? He need to hid it better because he’s tipping his pitch right now.

Yikes, what a bloody mess. Sure hope lotsa people were hurt and not just in the ego. The Wangster had a great outing, if you like the Battle of the Somme.

Meanwhile, Loewen “fundamentally stinks” and produces a fundamentally stinking quality start, of which we could use a lot more.

Gotta crusie, the A’s are on.
