The bottom of the ninth of Sunday’s White Sox-Twins game was a complete disaster for the Sox: closer Bobby Jenks entered with a three-run lead, gave up two runs without recording an out, and was yanked. Sergio Santos then trotted out and issued a walk to load the bases, then surrendered an outfield single to Delmon Young. Michael Cuddyer, the runner on third, was held.
Alex Rios Goes Into Little League Mode, Enables Twins’ Walkoff
↵Outfielder Alex Rios scooped up the ball and double-clutched, apparently unsure of who to throw the ball to, then apparently decided to throw the ball to “infield.” The infield is a big place, though, and he threw it where none of his teammates were. The ball bounced past the third-base line, Cuddyer scored, and the game was over.
↵Rios then trudged to the bleachers, where the team moms had arranged a delectable offering of oranges and bananas. He was informed by his mother that he could not go play putt-putt at Fun World with his friends, even though Bobby Jenks’ mom “would be there the whole time and give [him] a ride back home.” He then left in a wood-paneled station wagon and rode to his scheduled piano lessons, or as he referred to it, “stupid piano butt practice.”
