What the hell was that?

Today was one of those games where you check the score in the 6th inning and you see the Sox are winning 6-0 and you say to yourself, "Ah cool. There's no way they blow this game." Then a while later you think the game should be over and you check the score again and see they've blown that six run lead and it's now 10-6 in favor of the other team and you say to yourself, "What the fuck?"

In short, Jake Peavy was cruising for five innings then all hell broke loose.

The 6th inning started off with a single by Andy Dirks then a home run by Miguel Cabrera to make it a 6-2 Sox lead. Prince Fielder followed with a double then advanced to third on a ground out.

There, you think, OK, this run will score, it will be 6-3 with one or two outs. Still no major issues. 

Nope.

Next batter Brendan Boesch was hit by a pitch then scored on Ryan Raburn's three run home run.

Now, it's 6-5 White Sox and you're wondering if Robin has fallen asleep or in the bullpen sports bar.

Next batter Jhonny Peralta drew a walk and finally that was it for Jake. 

Will Ohman was called on and was nothing short of a disaster. The first batter he faced in Delmon Young was beaned on a 2-2 count putting runners on 1st and 2nd for Austin Jackson. On an 0-2 pitch Jackson sent Ohman's fastball to dead center field over the fence for a three run home run to put the Tigers up 8-6.

Unreal.

The Tigers tacked on two more in the 7th. Those two proved to be beneficial because the Sox went down with a fight this afternoon With the bases loaded and two outs in the 9th, Alexei Ramirez lined a two run double to make it a 10-8 ballgame. Unfortunately, Dayan Viciedo couldn't keep the line going and flew out deep to right field to end the game

Generally, everything in baseball evens out. The Sox last night won a game they should've lost. And today they lose a game they should've won. Still, this was a game that would've been nice to have seeing it was against the Tigers with large lead late in the game. Good teams hold on to these games and steal games every now and then.

The Sox (17-20) now head to Anaheim for 48 hours for a quick two game series against the Angels. The Sox then return home for the crosstown series at Wrigley Field.
