AL Central race: September 6, 2008

MLB.com: White Sox walk off on Thome’s homer

The White Sox made sure Francisco Rodriguez didn’t get any closer to Bobby Thigpen’s single-season save record on Saturday, and in the process, rallied for their third straight win with a 7-6 victory in 15 innings over the Angels at U.S. Cellular Field.

Jim Thome actually provided the walk-off winner, driving a mammoth clout off Justin Speier with one out in the 15th. The blast almost reached the concourse in right field.

MLB.com: Twins’ ‘pen falters in loss to Tigers

Over the past few seasons, the Twins’ bullpen has been considered one of the club’s biggest strengths. Lately, it’s been their Achilles’ heel.

The club watched yet another late-inning lead vanish on Saturday afternoon, this time in the eighth inning, in a 6-4 loss to the Tigers at the Metrodome.

Even though the Sox won, it was great fun listening to Hawk get all psyched any time the Sox got runners on base in extras, only to go damn near mute when then inevitably blew it.

Hearing him scream at us after the bottom of the tenth made that inning more bearable.
