Breaks the string of poor results in Detroit. We're now 3-11 in our last 14 at Comerica.

 

Tigers were 77-0 last year when leading after 7 innings, this year they've ALREADY lost 5 games. Doubt they continue that pace and lose 27 for the entire season, but that's a difference most of us expected with Valverde being 49/49 last year in saves converted.

 

And Floyd, ever since we acquired him, has been best against the Tigers of all AL teams.

Tigers and Boston stick out to me as teams he pitches well against. Interesting since they are always so good offensively.

Biggest hit of Dunns White Sox career right there.

 

THAT is what team leaders do. When the team is down and out the big guys step up and put the team on their backs.

 

HUGE WIN!

 

It's nice to win a big game on the strength of our 3-4 hitters.

Valverde: Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Bet he wasn't dancing after that. Piece of s***.

 

Saw the highlight of Dunn's ball. I don't think it's even landed yet. Christ was that CRUSHED...

They said the Tigers fans tried to throw the ball back. It took three different throws to get it from where it landed, back on to the field

Nice to win one like that after losing one the same way last night.

1.) Good call. Like the announcers said this loss was just as painful for Detroit as Friday's was for the Sox.

2.) Dunn has hit some big home runs this year. He's actually earned his contract this year. No complaints about him.

 

Reed looked great. There's no reason in the world to not give him the next save opportunity. Why in the world would you insert Sale as closer when it's Reed's time?

So they said that ball, which cleared the bleachers, went 422 feet. The Centerfield fence is 420 feet from home plate. There is no way in hell that ball went only 422 feet

 

That was more like 450, at least. Hit tracker should have the true distance up by tonight.

 

FWIW, Hafner's hit the longest home run of the season at 481 feet.

I think Dunn's went just as far.

The White Sox world isn't coming to an end ... at least until tomorrows game. Game threads just awful.

 

This might be the single most "on point" post I have ever seen on this site.

 

Thank you for your level headed comment and GO SOX!
