The Bitch Josh Hamilton's mammoth bomb in the sixth inning of the 7-4 win against the Pale Hose still hasn't.
What looked like a comedy of errors for the first five innings turned into a relatively easy win as the White Sox had trouble keeping pace and Jake Peavy fell apart.
There was Josh Hamilton missing the cut-off man on a throw home allowing Alexei Ramirez to advance. There was Yorvit Torrealba with the errant throw to second on a Juan Pierre stolen base where an accurate throw gets the out. There was a pair of walks to Paul Konerko and Gordon Beckham (hitting .196 against lefties) that turned into runs off Matt Harrison. There was a critical missed catch by Elvis Andrus on a sure-fire force at second.
Then it all turned. Mike Young with a two-out single to break up the Peavy no-hitter. A two-out RBI double by Nelson Cruz. Walk to Mike Napoli.
Three-run dinger by Mitch "The Bitch" Moreland. Two innings later, a two-run dong from The Bitch.
His nickname isn't an indictment on him. It's what he is to every opposing pitcher. He's a bitch. He fouls pitches off, drives mistakes 400 feet, draws walks and makes pitchers keep making pitches until they get him out or he gets on base.
Two homers, five RBI. He's got nine hits in last four games.
Exhaustion? What exhaustion? This is the way baseball go.
Notes:
1. Mike Napoli has a nine-game hit streak. Thanks to two walks, his on-base percentage .389.
2. Bullpen is solid. Yoshi Tateyama went 2.2 allowing a walk and that's it. Threw 35 pitches. He's getting a lot of outs (failing to allow a hit in 5 innings) with a little brains. If the rest of the league is figuring it out, it's not showing. He's as sharp as ever.
3. See. Mike Adams is really, really good.
4. Speaking of, Neftali Feliz needed 10 pitches to get his three outs.
5. I'd never have believed if you told me Mitch Moreland and Josh Hamilton would be tied for home runs (16) and Elvis Andrus would lead the galaxy in errors.
6. Twenty games over and six up on Angels.
