A win is a win at the end of the day, I suppose. Didn't like how wild Giolito was looking at the end of his pitching, but I give him credit for trying to fight through it.

That was nerve wracking. And a reminder that we need Bummer back in the worst way

Eloy knocked that one out on a pitch that was chest high. That was a "fuck you" swing there from him.

Detroit announcer's call of the home run

Maybe not

I love the "are you kidding me" under his breath

Shame Abreu lost the hit streak - what was it, 22 games?

Yeah, but the best thing is that I doubt he cares much.

Side not - man are Cubs Fans bitter about the Sox being good again and them slipping down, down.

When I am out and hear a conversation strike up about these White Sox, you can almost hear the groan!

Personally, I think the Sox should make a postseason move for Baez. He would fit in perfect in their lineup and he would snap right back to what he was before rampant, unchecked Cubness killed him this year.

Baez!?!? Where's he gonna play?

I guess he could take Yolmer's spot as the utility infielder, but that's about the only job he'd find on this team.

Park Factor - runs

1 Coors Field
2 Great American Ball Park (Reds)
3 Oriole Park at Camden Yards
4 PNC Park
5 Comerica Park (Tigers)

26. Chase Field
27. Wrigley Field
28. Oakland Coliseum
29. Yankee Stadium
30. Target Field

Yankee Stadium? For real? We'll chalk that up to sample size. It was sixth last year and is generally always in the top half.
Park Factor - home runs

1 Rogers Centre
2 Oriole Park at Camden Yards
3 Angel Stadium
4 Great American Ball Park
5 Guaranteed Rate Field

Again, notice the absence of Coors Field (it's sixth). It's much more a hit parade type of hitter paradise than a home run park.

26. Busch Stadium
27. Target Field (Twins)
28. Marlins Park
29. Wrigley Field
30. Oracle Park

What's interesting to me here is the Twins and Cubs hitting so many home runs in spite of their home parks. The Cubs are second in the NL with 102 homers.
