Our New Hero




We picked the Chicago White Sox yesterday, and they rewarded our rare favorite play by coming from 3 runs down to beat the Texas Rangers, 10-8. A key play for us came with two men on and one out in the seventh for the Rangers. The Rangers ultimately plated two runs, but it could have been worse. Here's now it read on sportsline.com's gamecenter while I was at work:

Hank Blalock: Ball, Strike swinging, Blalock grounded out to second, Bradley to third, Byrd to second.

After visiting Deadspin just now, I discovered that explanation didn't quite do the play justice.

A salute to you, Alexei Ramirez. Web Gem of the year.
