Late-inning comeback brings fans on a roller coaster ride of emotions
Today was a near-perfect day in Chicago. The sun was shining. The birds were singing. And Dylan Cease was on the mound for the Chicago White Sox.
Happy Stache Day to all who Celebrate

Cease was on his game from the beginning.
Cease could thread a needle from the mound today

Cease is an absolute freak

The offense, on the other hand, struggled.

The quiet bats were particularly frustrating when you consider that they were quelled at the hand of Nick Pivetta, whose numbers are less than awesome.

Sox hit an underwhelming fastball challenge

The Sox opponents get a weekly Kuechel game. You have to take advantage of the Pivetta game.

The flailing offense left White Sox fans a little frustrated.

One player, in particular, drew the ire of the White Sox faithful.
AJ Pollock: where RISP go to die

AJ Pollock is the new Leury

The 2 hitter needs to be able to hit 90mph fastballs right down the middle.

Pollock and Story havin a cook(ed) off out there

It felt hopeless.

But daylight is good at arriving at the right time.
Just turned the Sox game on and they get back to back baserunners. So I’m taking credit.

Finally, in the 10th inning, the light fully broke through the clouds.
This 10th inning is what we were missing in April.
This is White Sox baseball. ❤️ #ChangeTheGame

Dugout fired up. Need to bring the energy every game no matter what the score and good things will come for this team

Liam Hendriks closed out the game on eight pitches, and the relief was palpable.
This ballgame is ……
