My South Side heros, the Chicago White Sox, are now at full strength - all of their injured players are back in the lineup. And not coincidently, they swept the Detroit Tigers this past weekend, winning yesterday's game in dramatic fashion when Liam Hendricks, back in the lineup after battling cancer, threw a 1-2-3 top of the 9th, and Jake Burger won it in the bottom of the inning with a walk-off grand slam home run. Granted, the Sox have a 26-35 record, the same as the Colorado Rockies, who everyone here in Denver knows stink, but still. The Sox are only 5 1/2 games out of first, and looked like the real deal yesterday. Of course, they start a series with the Yankees today, which is never good, but I truly think things are turning around. Time to start thinking about heading back to Chicago for their playoff run. I definitely need to reserve my suite at the Motel 6 soon.
