10.01.08 THE WHITE SOX ARE CHAMPS. FOR A DAY.
The White Sox earned the AL Central pennant last night, winning a 1-0 nailbiter over the Twins in a 163rd-game tiebreaker. It was like overtime for the regular season.
The heroes were a pair of 38-year-olds: Jim Thome’s mammoth 7th inning blast was the only run of the game, and Ken Griffey Jr’s outfield assist kept the Twins off the board. John Danks got the win, Bobby Jenks got the save, and somewhere, Brianna Banks got the money shot. High five? High five.

And now we get the Rays, who surely will wilt under the pressure of the ALDS and the Game 1 expertise of a Javier Vazquez!
/oh good god no
What about Billy Blanks?
So, that last game didn’t lead to the Mets making the playoffs?

If you would be so good as to link to the money shot, we would all be very appreciative.
Somewhere (most likely county lock-up) Kevin DeBruin is chest bumping William Ligue, Jr. this morning.
