Today, I am ashamed of my Sox-fandum. How on earth can I root for a team that gave up 32, yes 32 runs in a double header. It reminds me of why I became a Sox fan. Back when I was about five or six years old, I went to my first MLB game, actually it was a double header at Wrigley, where I watched the Cubs get creamed in both games, by the Pirates I think, but I can’t quite remember for sure. It was then I knew I could never root for that team. Anyway, I digress.
I am taking a moment to recognize Justin Morneau’s three homer game because, since he is not on the Cubs, Richie won’t post on it (even though that lame excuse he used about Brad Wilkerson’s three homer day doesn’t apply here). Not bad considering the man was hospitalized a week ago.
The Reigning “BS” MVP hit a solo, two-run and three run homer tonight, falling a grand slam short of the “homerun cycle.” How rare is the homerun cycle you ask? Well, it has never happened in the history of major league baseball. A quick perusal of the baseball almanac tells us, that a four homer game has happened only 14 times in the history of baseball. Examining the box scores for each of those games only Mark Whiten hit at least the magic 10 RBIs necessary to have hit for the homerun cycle (Whiten actually had 12 RBI, with a granny, two three run bombs and a two run shot).
Well at least its three homeruns for 300 Spartans Squad. And BTW, The White Sox Suck.
