Snatching Defeat From the Jaws of Victory - Again.


"Oh, the pain, the pain" - Dr. Smith, "Lost in Space"

White Sox 6, Indians 4 in 13 innings.


Ouch. That one hurt. I turned the game off when it went into extras, but I saw Betancourt groove a fastball to Jermaine Dye to send the game into extras and blow yet another win for CC Sabathia, who must be wondering what he has to to do to get a win lately.

JoeBo blew a save by giving up a homer to Punkzynski in the 12th. Ouch.

Juan Uribe homers to win the game in the 13th off Aaron Fultz? Juan Uribe? Ouch.

Travis Hafner pulled because of "left knee soreness?" Ouch and more ouch.

Still in first, though, as the Tigers got taken out back of the woodshed by the D-Rays. That's a pretty nice pain reliever for the moment.

Mojo Watch:
Tribe:
Teams with more Elvis pull out games like last night.
Pronk:
Just as the dude was starting to get some Elvis back, then he gets hurt. Apparently he's day to day, but as Keith Olbermann liked to say, "aren't we all"? Getting hurt while DHing will start your Elvisometer back at 0.
JoeBo:
Gotta downgrade him from Full Elvis for serving up a gopherball to Punkzynski.
