This time it’s Gene Wojciechowski focusing on the White Sox…
Since then they’ve had a posture problem, slumping at the exact moment the Indians became the ’27 Yankees. Cleveland began shaving away the White Sox lead as though it were peach fuzz.
The Tribe is big news, folks.
Jayson Stark lays out just how historic the Tribe’s current shot at the division title is…
Only one team in the history of baseball — the 1914 “Miracle” Braves — was ever 15 games out at any point of any season and came back to finish first. But that team fell 15 back in the first week of July, not the first week of August.
Stark gives a great write up of last night’s game, then goes to Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen for some comic relief.
“I’ll be concerned,” Guillen said, “when we’re one game behind.” But if he ever does find himself one game behind, we’re betting “concerned” won’t be the first word out of his mouth. Actually, we’re betting you won’t be able to print the first word out of his mouth.
I’m betting if the Sox blow this lead and lose the division, Ozzie Guillen will be fired the next day. That’ll get him concerned.
3 for 3, two doubles, two walks, a home run, 3 RBIs, last night in 7-5 win over Chicago. Yeah…the guy’s out of the slump.
Might be the biggest win in years. White Sox have to be demoralized…the collapse continues unabated. Aaron Boone delivered one of the most clutch hits of the season. It’s great to be this excited about Indians baseball.
Pasquarelli’s Morning After column is chock full of Browns stuff, including this little tidbit, “heard in the press box”…
Now that it looks like Reuben Droughns is going to be the starting tailback in Cleveland, the Browns might try to trade one of their other backs before the deadline. A lot of teams would love to get Lee Suggs, but he can’t stay healthy, and that’s a concern. …
As one of our commenters posted, the Browns offensive line has quietly had two solid games, including ZERO sacks…I’d be hesitant to lay it all on Droughns to the point of trading his competition.
