Game 150: Doubles at White Sox

Almost undoubtedly, the Chicago White Sox are the most significant opponents of the Minnesota Twins. Ask Double Cities pedestrians about the subject and you'll obtain a few Cleveland Guardians or New york city Yankees solutions, however for one of the most part the South Siders would rise to the top. What's outstanding regarding that is exactly how little the Twins and White Sox have proactively been competitive with each other in any given season. In 1965 1987, the Tighty-Whities ended up second to our Doubles in local playbut a far-off second. Never ever in the 1961-2002 duration were the two clubs duking it out for playoff positioning. Black Jack doing some type of interpretive dance at Comiskey Park in 1991The exact same can essentially be said for 2011-2022.

Well, throughout an 8-season period in the 2000s the Twins White Sox fought each other like Yankees vs. Red Sox or Dodgers vs. Giants.. -2003: Both clubs went deep right into September for the AL Central crown, with the Doubles ultimately victorious. -2004: Torii Hunter annihilated CHW catcher Jamie Burke Gleyber Torres Jersey. -2006: Ron Gardenhire's "Piranhas" entirely stupefied Sox skipper Ozzie Guillen. -2008: One more down-to-the-wire AL Central finishactually, even more like "after the cable", as it took an epic Game 163 to close it out. Thome giveth, and Thome taketh away-2010: Though the Twins clearly appeared like the remarkable team for a lot of the period, Jim Thome's Flagpole Vengeance was the knockout blow Giancarlo Stanton Jersey. Once once again in 2023 the competition part of the TwinsSox competition is a non-factor, what with the Twins chasing after down a single-digits magic number and Chicago sporting a winning percentage under. 400. Possibly one day Cleveland will try every season, Detroit will certainly obtain a wave of prospects to actually hit, or Kansas City will have even more than 2 consecutively great seasons in the period of three years. However unlessuntil those points happen, we'll "constantly have the 2000s" to fall back on when it concerns savoring success over the White Sox that much a lot more. The jail pajamas the Sox used on Friday night were rather wildLet's watch with each other and hope we get another of those to close out the MNCHW section of 2023!
