Well, as much fun as last night was, it’s time to put it behind us and move on. That’s the thing about baseball – there’s always tomorrow. Just as the O’s were eager to move on from Friday night’s heartbreaking loss in New York, so are the White Sox ready for a shot at redemption.
Hopefully the Birds can ride the momentum of Chris Davis’ walk-off home run to a nice little winning streak (you know, the exact opposite of what the Yankees have done since Friday), but things don’t get much easier with Jose Quintana on the hill for the White Sox.
