Impressive Pitching
The White Sox lead the Yankees 2-1 in the middle of the tenth. Chicago's pitching, whatever the outcome of this game, put on a tremendous performance in this series. They've allowed just five runs in three games so far to one of the best offenses in the majors.
The defense is a big aspect of why the pitching does well. Rowand in center is showing Yankees fans why they need a new centerfielder. He seems to get to everything that hangs in the air for more than a couple of seconds. Their success in this series bodes well for Chicago in the post season.

The cherry on the sundae was that the Sox pinned the final loss on Rivera.
Still doesn't break his consecutive save streak, Yankee-haters...
I wonder if the game write-ups will mention the Sox started three bench players today: Widger, Ozuna, and Blum.
Don't be so smug Casey. Rivera's "loss" consisted of a fly ball that would have been an out or at worst a double if the CF was almost anybody in MLB besides Bernie Williams, and a weak groundball to 2B with the infield in.
How the run scored is why Varitek is worth much more than Posada. Tek would never had allowed Uribe to get to the plate on that play. Just ask Jack Wilson.
