"MERCY!!!"
Folks, what we saw today at Target Field was a good ol’ fashioned beatdown by your Chicago White Sox! I mean, they came outta the gates swingin’ like they were double-parked back on the South Side!
And let me tell ya somethin’—Manuel Felix, he didn’t just have himself a game, he put on a clinic. Five hits! FIVE! That’s tie-the-record stuff, right there. You talk about staying inside the baseball? Hittin’ it where it’s pitched? The kid looked like he was takin’ BP. Put it on the booooard... YES!
And then there’s Danny Sanchez—how ‘bout that cat behind the dish? Three hits, including a two-run missile early, then another RBI knock. That boy was swingin’ it like it was '93. You know what I always say: “When your catcher hits, you're gonna win a whole lotta ballgames.” And today, we won big.
Now how ‘bout Ramsay on the mound? He wasn’t pretty—nah, he wasn’t—but he was gutty. Six and two-thirds, gave up three hits, just one run in a hostile environment. That’s what you call a bulldog. He put on his big-boy pants and shoved. And then Saenz came in, mopped it up, closed the door.
Meanwhile, Minnesota? They looked like a deer on ice out there. They couldn’t catch it, couldn’t throw it, and Lord help ‘em—they couldn’t hit it neither! You don’t win playoff games with two errors, five hits, and your first baseman takin’ a nap at the plate.
Now listen here, folks: this series is tied up, and tomorrow it’s winner-take-all. One more game to keep the season goin’. And if the boys come out tomorrow like they did today?
You can cancel Christmas for the Twins.
HAWKISM OF THE DAY?
"He gone!" — And by “he,” I mean S. Raymond, the starter. Gave up six runs in two innings. You hate to see it. Actually… no you don’t.
White Sox 10, Twins 1. One game to go. BUCKLE UP, BABY.
And remember what I told ya: Don't stop now, boys!
This one's gettin' good.
