They’re awake again!

It looks like the Chicago White Sox offensive game has finally risen from a deep, deep sleep; however a think they overslept just a tad bit.

With less than two weeks left in the regular season, the Sox put on a show against Kansas City Monday night. The Sox, who have been waiting for something like this all year, had an 11-run inning, which came in the top of the 5th. There was a showcase of 10 hits and 3 homers in addition to the 11 wonderful runs. Another noteworthy stat is that this was the 2nd time this season that the Sox hit 3+ homers in the same inning. Pretty impressive.

Even though the Sox scored nothing in the rest of the game, this win put them back in fourth place. This, by the way, is a place that we haven’t seen since August 21st.

It would have been nice if this is how the whole season went, huh?

However, Monday night’s excitement was extinguished Tuesday. The Sox fell short against Kansas City, 3-2. Why couldn’t Monday night’s game carry over into Tuesday too? I wouldn’t have minded that at all. But, the 1st inning on Tuesday started off pretty unfortunate with KC scoring 3 runs off of Floyd. But look on the bright side, since August 6th, this was the first time a homer wasn’t hit off of him and he walked the fewest amount of batters since August 11th. Positive thinking.
