Home Run of the Day – 5/05 – Matt Stairs
Posted by: Richie Rich in Blue Jays, Home Run of the Day, White SoxI promise we’re going to publish something other than HRoD posts one of these days.
But instead, we’ll go North of the Border, where Matt Stairs scored the only run of the Jays-White Sox ballgame last night in Toronto.
The Home Run put the finishing touches on the Blue Jays’ four-game sweep of the White Sox.
Something tells me that the White Sox bats might come alive after this road trip. And it has nothing to do with Ozzie’s Guillen’s rant or the Blow-Up Doll Shrine the Sox had in the locker room before Monday’s game.
It might have more to do with the fact that the Sox will no longer be playing indoors. In nine games so far this season under a roof (and on artificial turf) the White Sox are 2-7 with six straight indoor losses … and their batting average is a simply horrendous .191.
That would be the lowest indoor batting average in MLB since at least 2000. And the White Sox have eleven more games scheduled in domes this season (4 in Tampa, 7 in Minnesota).
Mind you - the Mets are worse this year (.192 indoors) – but they’ve only played two games with the roof shut this season.
Hey look- that kinda delved into something other than just an HRoD post! Yay!
Really – work sucks right now.
