The seven-run ninth inning walk off that we’re going to experience right now is something we will be telling our great great grandchildren when we are living in space colonies and have had our brains replanted in robot bodies.

The thing that’s funny is that when I was eight years old in 1960 I laid down a ruler on a map and Detroit was 1/32 of an inch closer than Chicago but when I did a Google search a few years ago to the addresses of each respective stadium Comiskey Park was 3/4 of a mile closer than Tiger Stadium so it’s possible I could’ve become a White Sox fan which is sad. I was already listening to Ernie and he had won me over, but still if I went by which Team was closer I could’ve become a White Sox fan.

He was noted for hitting homers on Sundays and when I was a little kid, the first game I was ever taken to was at Comiskey Park against the Yankees and he, of course, had been traded to the White Sox by then and he did indeed hit a Homerun and each game of that doubleheader. Of course I was crushed because we weren’t going to Tiger Stadium but the idiots at my dad‘s Elks Club that took us to the game chose to go to Chicago instead of Detroit, even though they were equidistant from where we lived.

Didn’t he hit a home run in each game of another doubleheader? This makes him sort of like Sunday Charlie Maxwell.

Andy Dirks called it. Matt Vierling homers (7) on a fly ball to left center field.

On both the TV and the radio broadcasts I notice that the ads cut off the announcers an awful lot of the time and it’s really annoying and I’m not sure who to blame. The announcers seem to be doing what they’ve always done so I guess I have to blame who’s ever controlling when the ad kicks in.

Let’s get this kid some runs!

At least Montero doesn’t have the deal with a cloud of accusations about gambling. I’m trying to put a good spin on this.

Quick first MLB inning ever for Montero.

Thx.

Last I heard he had started only one game this year and it was speculated that he had a health-related issue. I haven’t seen anything official about retirement, but that might’ve just happened today

So how much time is there between games in a situation like this?

We are officially a .500 team for the next few hours.

So my radio feed stopped at the end of the inning and I can’t can’t hear any of the post game stuff, that sucks.

Jake w/2 hits today.

Nice inning for Englert.

Yeah. Skenes is insanely good. Unless he’s Nolan Ryan, I worry for his arm. Human arms aren’t meant for that kind of punishment for very long.

They’re pitching to Vierling like he’s Ted Williams. They fear The Vier!

Eight eight that good old number eight, how many is eight?

Weavered six runs. Ahm in hebbin.

Gibby, aside from being an icon, has a deadly disease.

I turned in the radio just as Dan was calling the HR.
