As a Chicago White Sox fan — the SIGHT of breaking even never LOOKED BETTER.  The last two or so months of baseball for the team I love to watch hasn’t been so vivid and beautiful.  April and May have been kind of monochromatic. There has been some beauty during the two month span , but overall not so VIVID.  However, the colors are beginning to look more BRIGHT and SPECTACULAR.  The boys have won the last 10 out of 13 games (including winning four series – Twins, Pirates, Angels and Royals {{{sweep}}} ) and have shown many signs of finally clicking together. They managed a win against the most wicked pitcher in all the American League , Zack Greinke.  Most teams have not been able to get much out of him , but the Sox managed to break through !   Tonight Gavin performed well after settling down around the third inning.  His early starts were extremely shaky and it appeared that his confidence was misplaced.  That was not the case this evening.  He was called to start a day early and managed to not let that irk his nerves.  I believe he lowered his ERA to slightly under 6 and struck out 8 batters.  Pods continues to exceed expectations.  Yesterday he was one home run short of the cycle and tonight he scored two runs and made a nice defensive play of a ball that I thought was possibly a home run.  Big Jim Thome belted out his 9th of the year and #550 of his career.  Hopefully Colon can pitch well (his last start was pretty good ) and the Sox can take another win from the Oakland A’s and their former teammates Ryan Sweeney and O Cab.  They aren’t quite Monet, Da Vinci, or Van Gogh material yet , but the masterpiece in progress is truly becoming more VIBRANT as the season rolls on.

Thanks for reading … and have a great day/evening !!   Go Sox !!
