JUGGERNAUT Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-spt-sox14.html This season is incredible! After gaining the lead in their 36th consecutive game this year the White Sox moved up to 5th on the all time list in this category. Tying the 1942 NYY & BOS teams. The record remains 48 set by the 1998 NYY's between July & Aug of that year. Each time they gain the lead before the 9th they pad the record they own: Most consecutive games led from the start of the season. This is big deal because the overall offense numbers are not very good. The Sox had 19 LOB last night. But timing is everything in this game. Konerko may be treading the Mendoza line but his broken bat hit was the big play of the game. It's probably the difference between winning & losing last night. Want to talk to Ozzie about it?

White Sox Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 They give themselves a chance to win every game, and the pitching usually holds onto the lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 This record is only impressive when you look at the overall record. You could have the record and be 2-34. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 No the record is impressive because it means that your always at some point in a game in position to win.... btw that broken bat single from Konerko was great especially since he stared at it like it was a HR lol.

WilliamTell Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Ok so the Yankees have the longest streak of leading at 48 games in a row then?? I guess I thought the Sox set the record, but that could just be for to open a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Yeah, my understanding is that he's talking about streaks in any stretch of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I was just waiting for him to do the Sammy Hop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
