Two In a Row Over Detroit (Game 5)

I was shocked to recall in the White Sox postgame show today the last time the White Sox were above .500 was last April.  Incredible.  I never expected it would be so long for the Sox to be below break-even.  I also never expected the Tigers to go 0-5 to start the season.  It is good to watch this offense come back and score runs, and to see our starters, like Gavin Floyd today, able to keep his team in the game for 6 innings so the bullpen can do its job as Ozzie intended.  Bobby Jenks getting his third save of the season is great to see.  I am believing this White Sox team can at least compete in the American League Central and beyond, and hope for much more to be sure.

When I heard the play called by Ed Farmer on the radio of Carlos Quentin gunning down Renteria off first base all the way from left field, firing a strike to Konerko, I was amazed.  This guy wants to stay on the team and be the White Sox' everyday left fielder I guess.  With that kind of arm and what he has been doing at the plate lately, I think he may be up on the team a while.  Good to see Jermaine Dye continuing his threat at the plate.  I hope to keep seeing more of the same.  Let's go for the sweep tomorrow....
