A White Sox Winner
by KevinSeptember 30th, 2008
The Sox just beat Minnesota 1-0 to win the Central and advance to the playoffs. It was an exciting game, with a great defensive play by Griffey in center to preserve a tie, a monstrous home run to take the lead, eight innings of stellar pitching by a young pitcher on short rest for the first time in his career, and a remarkable diving catch in center field for the last out of the game.
The Sox won a makeup game yesterday to get ot this game and now they advance to play the Rays on Thursday. Where they will almost certainly get swept. But, hey, today feels good and sometimes the underdogs win. Bring on the Rays.
We could take doom-and-gloom bets as to whether the Brewers or White Sox will be ushered out first.
