IGT: Kansas City Royals @ Chicago White Sox

[brett05]

Da Aza whiffs. I think he's going to be a frustration this year for me

 

[brett05]

Good eye by Kepp. Taking some pitches too. Liking this. Sets things up for game 2 and 3

 

[brett05]

Off to the top of the 8th with the Sox holding a 1-0 lead

 

[brett05]

What is the status early on with Thorton. Is he doing setup?

 

[brett05]

Shaping up to be a 2 hour 30 min game.

 

[brett05]

Thorton is warming up. Getz whiffs. Wonder if Sale tries for a CG if he gets these next two outs quick

 

[brett05]

Doesn't look like it, Chris just hit 100 pitches

 

[brett05]

Nice arm by Jeff. Two away

 

[brett05]

The high strike still being called.

 

[brett05]

Nate Jones coming in after that last single

 

[brett05]

Chris tips his hat. He's our ace gentlemen!

 

[brett05]

2-1 on Butler

 

[brett05]

Escobar steals second on a ball in the dirt

 

[brett05]

Wild Pitch and a walk makes it first and third with two outs. Matt Thorton to face Moustakas for hopefully the final out of the 8th

 

[brett05]

Matty doing what he does. Nice k!!! To the bottom of the 8th 1-0 Sox

 

[brett05]

Herrera in for the Royals to face Rios, Dunn, and Konerko. Reed warming up

 

[brett05]

Lead off walk for Rios. Come on boys, we could use a run or two

 

[brett05]

Rios with his first bag

 

[brett05]

Dunn with a whiff on a pitch nearly in the dirt. One away

 

[brett05]

Paulie flies out to Right. BTW, his next hit ties him with Frank Thomas all time for the White Sox at third place.
