The 100 mph pitch
Saturday, October 22, 2005

Now, how on earth would you face the 100 mph fast ball that this chap throws at you. He loosens up with a 99 and then hits 100 the very next ball - no looking back after that.

That's what Bobby Jenks did today in the top 8th, when it was much needed. And boy does he give it a rip !! Was funny when Ozzy signaled " I want the big fat guy " even the commentators couldn't stop laughing ;-)

It was a good game all together, I had my heart in my mouth in the top 8th but the Sox Bullpen pulled off a good 3 out to end the inng and it ended up 5-3 in our favor. Not to forget the contributions made by Crede, Contreras, Konerko and Dye .... But this is what I'm missing -

* 1st of all watch White SOX play @ home
* The HR s out team hits and giving us a chance to get the ball from the stands
* The simply amazing Chicago crowd

* The firecrackers that go up in the air signalling a home team HR (still remember watching it from my apartment )
* The yelling of the South side crowd

* The Contreras, Buehrles, Garcias, Jenks, Credes and Konerkos ...
* The we will rock you tunes played on ground ...

* The Go Sox display on Sears tower .. by mere switching on/off a series of lights on various floors of the tower !!!
* And last but not the least .. wearing hte Whitesox gear .. and showing full pride in it ..

My good ol Chicago ....
