*Game ended at 9:54 PM.*

7 comments
  1. * Korey Lee made his White Sox debut.
    * He reached on an infield single, advanced to 2nd on an ensuing throwing error, and scored on a Benintendi RBI single.
    * Benintendi and Andrus hit solo HRs.
    * Robert robbed a HR and hit a 2-run HR.
    * The A’s out-homered the Sox 5-3 tonight.
    * Scholtens gave up a 3-run HR and 2 solo HRs.
    * The Sox bullpen gave up a 2-run HR and a solo HR.

  2. Benetti is such a pro. When the sell the team chant started in the 5th and he, I assume, read that statement about how it was A’s fans and they’ve been doing that at every stadium, his voice barely quivered. You couldn’t even tell that Jerry forced him to say that or that his dog was being held hostage until he clearly deflected away any thought that those were Sox fans chanting to Jerry to sell the team.

  3. Don’t let the record fool you, we are certainly worse than the A’s. This is what, the third time we’ve lost to them this year?

  4. Does anyone have an extra SELL shirt that they’d possibly want to give/trade/sell? Had to wait for a friend to get out of work and want to say I was there for this “historic” event

  5. It’s my fault for watching any of this game to begin with, but my god was it infuriating to watch Colas not hustle down the line on the drop third strike because he was busy arguing (incorrectly) that he foul tipped it.
