  the Kansas City Royals faced the Chicago White
• 0:11
  Sox at Comiskey Park for Game 2 of a Sunday afternoon
• 0:13
  doubleheader. The Royals were led by Whitey Herzog
• 0:17
  and in first place in the AL West with a 33 -28
• 0:19
  record and a one -game lead over the Angels.
• 0:22
  The Sox were managed by Bob Lemon and were hovering
• 0:25
  around .500 for most of the season. The Royals
• 0:28
  had won the first game of the doubleheader with
• 0:30
  an 11 -inning thriller earlier in the afternoon.
• 0:32
  For the second game, the Royals would send Paul
• 0:34
  Splittorf to the mound to face Chicago's Ron
• 0:36
  Shuler. This audio recording is from the radio
• 0:39
  broadcast featuring announcers Lorne Brown, Harry
• 0:42
  Carey, and Jimmy Pearsall. that up as both these
• 0:58
  clubs a year ago. It's practically identical
• 1:02
  averages against each other. 275 to 270 is in
• 1:05
  favor of the White Sox. And both hit 17 home
• 1:08
  runs and drove in 72 runs against the others.
• 1:13
  Willie Wilson batting to the left side leads
• 1:15
  it off. He went two for three and drove in a
• 1:17
  run in the first game. That tied it up to the
• 1:19
  seventh. Kansas City went into the 11 inning
• 1:21
  3 -2 and we did get an explanation. I'm surprised
• 1:26
  that Laron Legros did not show on the second
• 1:28
  base to get Hal McRae. Turned out to have the
• 1:31
  winning run in his hip pocket. Ron Shuler delivers.
• 1:33
  Here's the second pitch and a strike one and
• 1:35
  one. And Legros said after the game that he didn't
• 1:38
  have full control of the ball. He juggled it.
• 2:23
  The outfield for the White Sox. left field, Jeff
• 2:28
  Levin in center, and Claudio Washington in right.
• 2:31
  Now, Greg Pryor goes into the right side dugout.
• 5:39
  It's 20 to 5. The 11th inning, but that was not
• 6:50
  the case. Here's a pitcher pass ball rolling
• 6:52
  in. club a lot different ball club this year
• 7:31
  than it was a year ago obviously last year's
• 7:34
  club different off the 11th inning Here's the
• 10:47
  pitch, and it's a strike. Two strikes on the
• 10:53
  batter. He and Frank Canan, another left -hander,
• 10:55
  had great success against the Chicago organization
• 10:59
  under various owners. Here's the pitchers, a
• 11:01
  swing and a pop -up. game and game one went 0
• 11:13
  -2. Woodharp is making his 16th start of the
• 11:18
  year, the seventh on the road. Ranked in the
• 11:21
  top five in the American League and earned run
• 11:23
  average at 2 .41. his next four ball game. Now
• 11:55
  he's come back to win four in a row. Here's a
• 11:57
  pitch up high of all. And four of his five losses
• 12:04
  this year. Here's the pitchers. They swing and
• 12:07
  a foul off their fair ball. Porter has it through
• 12:10
  as he got it. The ball was off of Washington,
• 12:13
  but it went fair. It did not go foul. As it hit
• 12:17
  him as he came out of the box. A fire rule. It
• 12:19
  was a fair ball and Porter got it and threw him
• 12:21
  out. out two to three. And there's two down.
• 12:27
  Woodruff has won eight, lost five. As we mentioned,
• 12:29
  he's won four in a row, then lost four in a row.
• 12:32
  Now he's come back to win four out of five. Here's
• 12:34
  the pitch to Chet Lemon. It's outside of all.
• 12:37
  Chet 0 for 5 in game one. They really wrapped
• 12:39
  him up. They forced him three different times
• 12:42
  to round to the third baseman. Two other times
• 12:45
  they struck him out. Here's the pitch. And it's
• 12:47
  a fastball on the outside corner for a strike.
• 12:49
  One and one. I mean, I've heard. There's a swing
• 13:30
  and a pop -up to the right side. So they're three
• 14:18
  back. Texas playing tonight against Toronto.
• 14:21
  Right now the White Sox are three and a half
• 14:23
  back. And they'll either be two and a half back
• 14:25
  or four and a half back when the afternoon is
• 14:26
  over. Darryl Porter, who got the game -winning
• 14:29
  hit, the only hit that LeGros gave up, but it
• 14:31
  was a single to right after a walk and a sacrifice,
• 14:33
  and it won the ballgame, leads it off here in
• 14:35
  the second inning. Check swing of the ball inside.
• 15:04
  In the Eastern Division, Baltimore now has moved
• 15:06
  into second place ahead of the Yankees, six and
• 15:08
  a half behind the Red Sox. The Yankees are seven
• 15:12
  back. Milwaukee has a chance to gain a half a
• 15:14
  game. They lost the first half. Now, what time?
• 16:26
  San Diego has jumped out in front of the Phillies,
• 16:28
  2 -0 at the end of one. With nobody out on the
• 16:41
  leadoff walk. A leadoff walk twice in game one
• 16:45
  resulted in a run for Kansas City. They tied
• 16:48
  it up with a leadoff walk in the seventh and
• 16:49
  won the ball game after a leadoff walk. in the
• 16:51
  11th. Al Collins the batter 0 for 4 in game 1.
• 16:54
  Came in as a doubleheader hitting 258 with 2
• 16:56
  homers and 26 RBIs. A pitch to him is a ball
• 17:00
  out. The run was on, and he probably went after
• 18:16
  ball three. It was way inside on him, and he
• 18:18
  fouled. on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights,
• 18:42
  and then Minnesota next weekend, included by
• 18:44
  a doubleheader next Sunday. Right -hander ready.
• 18:47
  Here's the two -on -pitch inside ball three.
• 18:51
  Shooter has lost two of the last three men that
• 18:53
  he has faced, and he's in jeopardy here of walking
• 18:55
  talent. Here's the pitch, flinging a fly ball
• 19:11
  to left. Bannister's moving over. He's there.
• 19:14
  He's got it. One out. So Collins flying out of
• 19:18
  the 3 -1 pitch. And the batter is the shortstop,
• 19:20
  Freddie Patek. 1 -0 for three in game one. Came
• 19:23
  into the doubleheader, hitting .266 with a homer
• 19:25
  and 24 RBIs. two ballgames. Reporter is second.
• 21:40
  for one in game one. Carroll, a 191 hitter with
• 21:46
  two RBIs. Right -handed hitter outfield, playing
• 21:55
  in shallow and to go to the opposite field. Well,
• 21:58
  the double play is in order here. Shuler working
• 22:04
  out of his set. Here's the pitch. Call strike
• 22:07
  at the inside part of the play. Wisely was taking
• 22:11
  that first pitch after the two walks here in
• 22:13
  the inning. Royals now in the last two innings
• 22:16
  of that two -man on. Oh, the first and the second.
• 22:20
  Right -hander out of the stretch. Looks to second.
• 22:22
  Here's the one -strike pitch. There's a swing
• 22:24
  and a ground. It is short. Kessinger has it.
• 22:26
  Goes to second for one. There'll be no relay.
• 22:28
  And they get the middle man for the second out.
• 22:30
  There are runners at first and third now with
• 22:32
  two outs as Patek is forced out six to four.
• 22:38
  Porter goes to third, and Willie Wilson, the
• 22:41
  rookie, is the batter. He struck out his first
• 22:43
  time up when he tried to punt with two strikes
• 22:46
  on it. Jimmy Pearsall was surprised he tried
• 22:55
  to do it in the first game with a one -two pitch.
• 22:57
  Brought his bat back in time, and he tried to
• 22:59
  do it this time, and he was out. Here's the pitchers
• 23:01
  swinging a grounder to Lamar Johnson at first.
• 23:03
  Steps to the bag as he retires the side. Talk
• 23:29
  to your Clark Lift of Chicago dealer in Rosemont,
• 23:32
  where lift truck service is the name of the game.
• 23:34
  That's Clark Lift of Chicago, the lift truck
• 23:36
  people. to face Gale twice and beat them twice.
• 25:38
  Hassler, they're 1 -0 against. He did not get
• 25:40
  the decision in game two. Here's a swing and
• 25:42
  a grounder right side. Carroll has it on a short
• 25:44
  hop as he charges it, and on the play, Nordhagen
• 25:46
  goes to third. So Lamar grounds out 4 -3, but
• 25:50
  he kept the ball on the right side of the infield,
• 25:52
  allowing the runner to go to third, where he's
• 25:54
  there with one hour, and the sacrifice fly is
• 25:58
  in order as Bill Naharati steps up. Billy, the
• 26:01
  designated hitter here in game two. It is 2 -51
• 26:04
  with five homers and 25 RBIs coming into the
• 26:07
  doubleheader. Went one for four in game one.
• 26:11
  It was a big hit because it put Lamar Johnson
• 26:13
  in scoring position at that particular time and
• 26:15
  allowed him to score the second run of the ballgame.
• 26:23
  Left hander ready. Here's the pitch and it's
• 26:25
  inside of all. So the White Sox have faced Gail
• 26:29
  Hasler and now Squidorff twice apiece. Here's
• 26:37
  the pitch. Here's a swing and a fly ball deep
• 26:39
  right center field. It'll score the run. Nordhagen
• 26:42
  tagging up. Collins has it. And the White Sox
• 26:45
  take the lead 1 -0 as Nordhagen crosses the plate.
• 26:57
  So now Haradny drives in his 26th run of the
• 26:59
  year. And the Sox are on the board here in game
• 27:03
  two, 1 -0. That's what you want to see. Get that
• 27:09
  runner over when he's at second base. A sacrifice
• 27:13
  fly brought him home. 11 and lost 13 ones on
• 31:09
  this ballgame. The White Sox are 10 and 10. The
• 31:13
  White Sox are 0 and 5 at extra inning play this
• 31:16
  year. Right -hander ready. Here's the pitch.
• 31:17
  And it's inside of all. You're in tune with WMAQ,
• 31:22
  Chicago, Illinois, 5 o 'clock in the windy...
• 31:55
  on pitch inside of all. Milwaukee going to be
• 31:59
  kicking themselves. They win 10 in a row and
• 32:01
  they don't even put one game on Boston because
• 32:03
  they won nine in a row. And they get beat. But
• 32:06
  Boston did too. Here's the 2 -1 delivery. Here's
• 32:09
  the fling of the grounder to Pryor. After the
• 32:59
  open date Wednesday, Turtles just fouled it off
• 33:02
  one and one. The Twins will be in here. Well,
• 33:06
  first off Thursday night, it'll be Italian -American
• 33:08
  night against Seattle. Right -hander ready. Here's
• 33:11
  the 1 -1 pitch and a tie of all. And the Twins
• 33:16
  open up Friday night. It will be Croatian night.
• 33:18
  Flags, dancers, costumes, usual fireworks display
• 33:22
  after the ballgame Friday. Right -hander ready.
• 33:25
  Here's the pitch. The swing of the grounder fouled.
• 33:44
  Previously rained out game against Minnesota,
• 33:46
  but they'll be in here for four, Friday night,
• 33:48
  Saturday, and doubleheader Sunday. Now time is
• 33:52
  called. Saturday is a night game, WLS team night.
• 33:57
  All teenagers in for half price. Here's the pitch,
• 34:01
  and it's low of all. Rich Reddick. It's a 3 -2
• 34:15
  pitch. Swing and a grounder to second. Pryor
• 34:17
  is there. He's got it. Waits for Lamar to get
• 34:19
  to first and throws him out. Three up and three
• 34:21
  down. as Greg Pryor leads it off. Greg went one
• 35:42
  for three in game number one. Greg came into
• 35:46
  the ballgame hitting .268 with four RBIs batting
• 35:49
  for the first time here. Here's the first pitch
• 35:53
  to him and it's a called strike. He's the number
• 35:57
  nine hitter in the order. He'll be followed by
• 35:59
  Bannister and Washington. Paul Swiddorf delivers
• 36:03
  inside. It's the first game. Here's the pitch.
• 36:15
  Outside of all. Kansas City on the opener, 3
• 36:18
  -2. Milwaukee just split a doubleheader with
• 36:20
  Cleveland. They got two more in the ninth, and
• 36:22
  they beat the Indians 4 -1. Augustine over Paxton.
• 36:25
  There's a swing and a fly ball to left. Coquette's
• 36:28
  coming in. He's got it. And there's one out.
• 36:30
  Gregg got good wood on the ball, but right at
• 36:33
  the left fielder, Tom Coquette. Milwaukee gained
• 36:42
  a half a game on the Boston Red Sox today by
• 36:45
  gaining that split. So Milwaukee's seven and
• 36:47
  a half back, so they've got a big punch -up.
• 36:53
  In the second, third, and fourth spot in the
• 36:56
  American League East, Boston now leading Baltimore
• 36:58
  by six and a half. The Yankees are seven back,
• 37:01
  and Milwaukee's seven and a half back. Manager
• 37:04
  in the hole, 0 -1, and the next pitch is outside
• 37:06
  of all. One ball, one strike. Popped up to Patek
• 37:11
  at short. Leading off the bottom of the first.
• 37:14
  Here's the pitch. Outside. Ball two. White Sox
• 37:17
  got their two runs in the second on a double
• 37:19
  by Nordhagen. Lamar Johnson. Grounded out to
• 37:21
  second. Nordhagen taking third. And now Haradny
• 37:24
  drove him home with a sacrifice fly. And then
• 37:26
  Sonner home hit a homer. 2 -1 pitch. Swing and
• 37:28
  aim. Foul ball down the left side. Would have
• 37:38
  been in there for extra bases. as that has been
• 37:40
  fair. So the count evens up to Allen. It's two
• 37:48
  and two. White Sox trying to gain a split and
• 37:55
  move back within one game of 500. If the White
• 38:00
  Sox are able to gain a split, California would
• 38:02
  move within one game of first. Left hander ready.
• 38:05
  Here's the pitch. Here's a swing and a blooper
• 38:06
  down the left side. If it drops there, it's going
• 38:09
  to be out of foul ball. And Brett Guyby almost
• 38:12
  came up with a fine play. Top tech. Over there
• 38:16
  with him. Not to say if it dropped it could be
• 38:22
  for extra bases, but it went foul and Brett made
• 38:25
  a valiant effort after the ball. Go for it. Empty
• 38:29
  kit. No doubt about it. Plays the game hard.
• 38:34
  Two balls, two strikes. The way it should be
• 38:35
  played. Minnesota just won their sixth in a row.
• 38:41
  The Twins are hot. They beat the Tigers 8 -4.
• 38:51
  And Detroit really in a slump. Here's a pitch
• 38:54
  low of all, 3 -2. Tigers now have lost seven
• 39:00
  in a row. Here's the 3 -2 delivery. Washington.
• 39:10
  Off of himself, but he was in fair territory
• 39:14
  when the ball hit him. Got out in front of the
• 39:17
  plate and he was thrown out by the catcher. The
• 39:20
  Cubs, losers of three of their last four. Houston
• 39:23
  tonight. Cubs expected to go with Lamp against
• 39:27
  Dixon. Waddell, 0 for 3 for the afternoon. Here's
• 39:40
  the pitch. Swing and a miss. Big match today
• 39:44
  for the White Sox. It's in Nordhagen. Two for
• 39:46
  three. And Satterholm. Three for six. Home run
• 39:51
  and two RBIs. Left -hander out of the stretch.
• 39:58
  Here's the pitch. Outside of all. You know, next
• 40:03
  week out here, between games, that doubleheader
• 40:05
  will be the White Sox pitch, hit, and run divisional
• 40:07
  championship. The winners advance, and hopefully
• 40:14
  they'll make it to the All -Star Game in San
• 40:16
  Diego. Here's a toss over to first, the runner
• 40:18
  back. You'll hear them all on WMAQ Radio, Monday
• 40:23
  night, Tuesday night, and Thursday night against
• 40:24
  Seattle. Friday night, Saturday night, and a
• 40:27
  doubleheader Sunday against Minnesota. Here's
• 40:29
  the pitch. Inside of all. We're scheduled for
• 40:33
  a three -game series next weekend, Friday night,
• 40:35
  Saturday night, Sunday afternoon. And then with
• 40:38
  the make -up game, the White Sox are either going
• 40:40
  to play a day -night doubleheader on Saturday.
• 40:43
  Here's the pitch. Here's a swing and a long shot.
• 41:16
  after losing a tough one in the first. They've
• 41:18
  come out moving here in the second. Two runs
• 41:21
  in the second, now a two -run homer by Claude
• 41:23
  Ellis, first as a member of the White Sox. Here's
• 42:07
  the pitch. High. Ball two. Lemon looking for
• 42:10
  his first hit of the afternoon. 0 for 6. Boy,
• 42:14
  you lose a tough game like that and have a tough
• 42:16
  left -hander like Slidorf to face. Here's the
• 42:19
  pitch inside. Ball three. You've got to feel
• 42:21
  fortunate that you've jumped out in front early.
• 42:27
  One of the truly fine gentlemen in the game of
• 42:30
  baseball, Paul Slidorf. and treated him not so
• 42:34
  gentlemanly as Dwellen takes a strike, and Marty
• 42:36
  Patton, a right -hander, is up with the bullpen.
• 42:41
  Also, Steve Mangori, a left -hander. Here's a
• 42:43
  pitch outside of all he walked in. After a try,
• 42:48
  he got good wood on the ball and hit it right
• 42:50
  at him. He'll cut it left. A walk, a home run,
• 42:52
  and a walk. He's got a big afternoon. He has
• 43:06
  singled, he's walked, and he has doubled. And
• 43:08
  he has scored two runs. Officially two for three.
• 43:16
  Woodhuff ready. Here's the pitch. Fastball. Misses
• 43:20
  inside. Porter. Thought he had him, so does Woodhuff
• 43:24
  as he comes down the mound out of the grass looking
• 43:26
  in. Leading Montreal 5 -0. Here's the pitch.
• 43:38
  Swing and a miss. He had a big cut. L .A.'s got
• 43:42
  a win just to remain within five of the Giants.
• 43:44
  It's already shut out the Mets 3 -0. Game one
• 43:48
  of a doubleheader. Here the White Sox trying
• 43:51
  to gain a split lead 4 -0 after losing 3 -2 at
• 43:54
  11. Left -hander out of the stretch. Here's the
• 43:56
  1 -1 pitch. Swing and a miss. A big cut again.
• 43:59
  Strike two. Baltimore has defeated Oakland. Minnesota
• 44:03
  has defeated Detroit. California has defeated
• 44:07
  the Yankees. Seattle upended Boston. Milwaukee
• 44:09
  and Cleveland have split a doubleheader. This
• 44:11
  is the only game in the American League going
• 44:12
  on right now. Toronto will be at Texas tonight.
• 44:15
  Here's the 1 -2 pitch. Here's a swing and a foul
• 44:17
  ball coming back to the right side. Ketcher giving
• 44:20
  chase. And it's going to be out of play. Just
• 44:24
  a couple of rows back. Porter reached in to get
• 44:26
  it, but not handled it. And Nordhagen remains
• 44:31
  alive in Chicago. Well, a lot of little things
• 44:38
  could have won that ball game in the first. This
• 44:42
  game is, as always been said, a game of inches.
• 44:50
  The Royals prevailed 3 -2. Now the White Sox
• 44:52
  trying to come back and split. Runner at first,
• 44:55
  two runs are in here in the inning, one out.
• 44:57
  Here's the pitch. Swing and a foul, he just got
• 44:59
  a piece of it. I'll tell you one thing, Wayne
• 45:01
  is not getting cheated. He is getting his cuts
• 45:03
  up there. White Sox tomorrow go with Cusick against
• 45:10
  Terrence. Scull goes against Mitchell on Tuesday
• 45:13
  and Barrios against Cole on Thursday. That means
• 45:20
  Kravick goes against Minnesota on Friday. Left
• 45:26
  -hander ready. Here's the 1 -2 pitch. Here's
• 45:28
  a swing and a pop -up on the interior. They've
• 45:30
  got Jan. Brett, the third baseman there, he's
• 45:32
  got it. Two out. So Nordhagen pops up. There's
• 45:38
  two down. And the batter is Lamar Johnson, who's
• 45:40
  rounded out to second his first time up. Lamar,
• 45:43
  one for five of a doubleheader. Marty Patton
• 45:50
  continues to warm up down the right side. I think
• 45:52
  the Sea Lamar put one of those seats to the left.
• 45:57
  4 -0, the White Sox lead it. Fedorov out of the
• 46:02
  stretch. Here's the pitch. Outside of all, a
• 46:05
  sacrifice fly by Naharati, a home run by Satterholm,
• 46:09
  and a two -run homer by Claudel Washington that's
• 46:11
  accounted for all four runs. The Sox have already
• 46:15
  scored twice as many runs here. Two and two -third
• 46:19
  innings of game two that they did in game one.
• 46:25
  Woodruff out of the stretch. Here's the pitch.
• 46:28
  Breaking ball. Misses outside. Ball two. Manny
• 46:33
  Minoso coaching over at first. Bobby Knopf at
• 46:36
  third. Chet Lemon at first base with two down
• 46:39
  here in the third. Left -hander running. Here's
• 46:45
  the pitch. Last ball. for a strike. LeVar taking
• 46:48
  all the way. Two balls and a strike. Big right
• 46:58
  -handed hitting first baseman wait. Here's the
• 47:03
  pitch. Swing and a foul. Comes back to the upper
• 47:06
  deck. And the count evens up at 2 -2. Well, let's
• 47:15
  see. California won by a run. Seattle won by
• 47:17
  a run. Baltimore won by a run. Kansas City won
• 47:20
  the first game by a run. Four one -run ballgames
• 47:23
  in the American League this afternoon. Here's
• 47:25
  the pitch. Here's a swing and a foul down the
• 47:27
  right side. Got it up and in, but he swung late
• 47:32
  on it. One -run game in the National League.
• 47:37
  Atlanta beating Pittsburgh 8 -7. going on. Dodgers
• 47:43
  shutting out Montreal 5 -0. San Diego shutting
• 47:46
  out the Phillies early 3 -0. San Francisco shut
• 47:49
  out the Mets 3 -0 in Game 1. Here's the 2 -2
• 47:51
  pitch. Here's a swing and a fly ball. If it stays
• 47:53
  there, it's going to be out of here going down
• 47:55
  the left field line. It is a foul ball and it
• 47:58
  did not get out of here. It goes into the box
• 48:00
  deep down in the corner. Boy, that ball just
• 48:02
  died all of a sudden. The wind prevented Poquette
• 48:07
  from getting that ball like the wind prevented
• 48:09
  Lamar from getting a three -run homer in Game
• 48:11
  1. Now you like to say they all even up, but
• 48:15
  I'd sure like to see that ball be fair in that
• 48:17
  last game. Never would have gone to extra innings.
• 48:32
  Two balls and two strikes to Lamar. Widorf out
• 48:36
  of a stretch. Here's the pitch. Half swing and
• 48:38
  a foul to the left side. 2 ,598 here this afternoon.
• 48:49
  4 -0 -5 -9 -8. We outgrew the Kansas City three
• 48:59
  -day crowd. Here goes the runner. Here's the
• 49:01
  pitch. Swing and a grab. Right side of base hit.
• 49:03
  Here goes Levin going to third. The second baseman
• 49:07
  wants to cover. And as he did, Lamar singled
• 49:10
  in the vacated spot. And the lights out. White
• 49:12
  Sox have runners at first and third with two
• 49:14
  out and Naharati the batter. Nahar drove in the
• 49:19
  first White Sox run with a sacrifice fly his
• 49:21
  last time up. 112 ,181 for the series. the city
• 49:46
  a couple of weeks ago. Here's the pitch. High
• 49:54
  of all. The Royals drew 97 ,000. With a three
• 50:03
  -game set against the White Sox, and here in
• 50:05
  the three -date, the White Sox draw 112 ,000
• 50:09
  -plus. Here's a pitch outside, ball three. A
• 50:11
  bad one would load the bases for Soderholm. To
• 50:15
  the White Sox, to 15 ,181 more people than Kansas
• 50:19
  City, plus the fact all the games here televised
• 50:23
  locally. Here's the 3 -0 pitch. He takes a strike.
• 50:28
  3 -1. Runners at first and third, two outs, two
• 50:34
  runs in. The Sox leading 4 -0 here in game two.
• 50:40
  Winner of bottom of the stretch, here's the pitch.
• 50:43
  All strike two. So the count is full. Lamar Johnson
• 50:48
  will be off at first. Lemon will be cautious
• 50:52
  down the line at third with a right -handed hitter
• 50:54
  up. A 3 -2 pitch tossed over to first, the runner
• 50:58
  back. Royals won the opener 3 -2. Now Porter
• 51:03
  wants to have a conversation with Spudor. Why
• 51:07
  you feel like you're in real trouble when you
• 51:09
  lose the first game. In the light of a false
• 51:13
  foot arc pitching against you in game two. And
• 51:16
  Kansas City conversely has to feel pretty good
• 51:18
  about that. The light dodge has jumped on the
• 51:21
  Arlington Heights product for two in the second.
• 51:23
  Here's two in the third. That runner's at first
• 51:26
  and third. The 3 -2 count with two outs. Here's
• 51:29
  the pitch. Here's a swing and a pop -up. He got
• 51:31
  jammed. First baseman coming over. Tector coming
• 51:33
  over. The first baseman has it. And I think he's
• 51:35
  won it ball four. So, foot arc gets out of it
• 51:40
  without any more problems with the light dodge.
• 51:41
  The White Sox come up with two runs on two hits.
• 51:44
  No errors, two left, a big blow, a two -run homer
• 51:47
  by Claudel Washington. We're at the end of three.
• 51:49
  I'm Lorne Brown, Harry Terry, and Jimmy Pearsall.
• 51:51
  We'll be along in a minute. It's the White Sox
• 51:53
  4, Kansas City nothing. Ooh, you son of a...
• 54:49
  The White Sox are well over the 600 ,000. steps
• 55:31
  into their starting rotation. And really helps.
• 55:36
  Two balls and a strike. Full foul. And the count
• 55:40
  is even. Two and two. The Giants have got a blue
• 55:53
  pitching. Their game ought to be over by now.
• 56:07
  A good hitter against right -handed pitching.
• 56:10
  Had a big base hit when he singled in the right
• 56:12
  center to score a run in the 11th. Two balls,
• 56:18
  two strikes. Now the delivery, a little bit low.
• 56:23
  All three. Chris Knapp of the California Angels
• 56:28
  beat the Yankees 3 -2. The Yankees drop to third
• 56:31
  place. I think he makes the play better to his
• 56:49
  left than he does to his right. You're right
• 56:51
  there. He doesn't pick the ball off the bat as
• 56:53
  quick. You know, one thing about Earl Weaver,
• 56:56
  his ball club looked like they were just going
• 56:58
  to be out of it. They were there last. They even
• 57:00
  called the game with the sun out. But he keeps
• 57:03
  that ball club battling. They don't go on that
• 57:05
  seal that low. They are now 12 games above the
• 57:13
  500 mark. That's how far they've come. Miller's
• 57:23
  been doing it today primarily with a change of
• 57:27
  speeds and breaking balls. Not as fast as we've
• 57:32
  seen him on other occasions. One ball, no strikes,
• 57:35
  the pitch. It's just away from Nordhagen. It'll
• 57:39
  be a fast ball. Nordhagen took his eye off that
• 57:41
  ball and looked at the runner. As he did, the
• 57:44
  ball popped out of his gloves. So, you know,
• 57:48
  when you've got one catcher... And a guy who
• 57:50
  is just learning to catch it makes it pretty
• 57:51
  hard because he hasn't caught in about a month
• 57:53
  or so. Well, they got a good one down in the
• 57:58
  minor leagues if they ever want to bring him
• 57:59
  up. Mike Colburn. I guess the problem is because
• 58:04
  he's young, I don't want to bring him up but
• 58:08
  sit him on the back. Three -quarter arm pitch
• 58:27
  inside that Collins just didn't get enough out
• 58:30
  in front of him. He doesn't want to get that
• 58:32
  pitch there. He wants it outside. Saunders two
• 58:35
  away now. Here's Sonny Popek. Popek wants his
• 58:46
  first time. He's been hit for some of the series.
• 58:52
  Good fastball. That's the best he's done. He
• 58:54
  came over the top with it. strike to nothing.
• 59:03
  A runner in scoring position. A wide breaking
• 59:11
  curve. Looks like his curve ball is just a little
• 59:14
  lazy and it seems to sail on him outside but
• 59:16
  it isn't breaking down, it's flat. Talk about
• 59:34
  being away from the plate. Look where Pawtuck
• 59:36
  stands. He's way away from the plate and goes
• 59:37
  into the ball. Of course, like Charlie Lowe's
• 59:39
  creatures, but generally you don't get that far
• 59:41
  away. But Lemon, if he'd move even half that
• 59:43
  far away, I think he'd have more arm movement
• 59:45
  and better swings at the ball. He's going to
• 59:48
  tip the ball off. That's right. He's getting
• 59:50
  jammed so much. And he hasn't changed yet. The
• 59:53
  ball to the strike. Pawtuck winning. The pitch.
• 1:00:00
  Follow back. Into the upper deck. When you stand
• 1:00:15
  away from the plate like this, that good overhand
• 1:00:16
  hard slider down in the way is a tough pitch
• 1:00:18
  for them to hit. And that's what he may try to
• 1:00:20
  show him right here. 2 -2 flip. spraying some
• 1:02:04
  power. That time he got all of it. The first
• 1:02:05
  time it just looked like he hit it as well and
• 1:02:07
  it just barely got in the front row. But it looks
• 1:02:09
  like he's looking for his pitch. He's getting
• 1:02:11
  it and he's hitting it. And his feeling in the
• 1:02:14
  first game was just unbelievable. It wasn't his
• 1:02:17
  fault we didn't win that first ball game. It
• 1:02:20
  was because of him we were in it with a chance
• 1:02:21
  to win it. Finally lost in the 11th inning. 10
• 1:02:26
  hours prior had the fastball as well. I think
• 1:02:30
  that's the first time this year the White Sox
• 1:02:33
  Second time. Here's a picture curve strike off.
• 1:02:45
  Georgia hit two homers in one game earlier this
• 1:02:47
  year. It's the only other time. This might be
• 1:02:51
  the first game in some time that the White Sox
• 1:02:55
  have hit more than one home run. They have three
• 1:02:58
  so far today. There's Pryor, a high pop fly on
• 1:03:02
  the infield. First place for the hurdle is there.
• 1:03:06
  Makes the catch. You know, he hit that ball prior
• 1:03:10
  to where it was, but it was in fair territory.
• 1:03:13
  You know, these fans can really pump a ball club
• 1:03:15
  up. I have never seen anything like it. Instead
• 1:03:17
  of dying now after we lose a tough one in the
• 1:03:19
  first game, the fans are more excited than the
• 1:03:21
  players, and they know they've got to play well
• 1:03:23
  for them. Boy, Tony, you lose a heartbreaker
• 1:03:26
  like that first game, and you have to face an
• 1:03:28
  old hex -like split car. It'd be easy a little
• 1:03:31
  bit to be able to down. But the White Sox have
• 1:03:34
  bounced right back, and they have a 5 -0 lead
• 1:03:37
  now, and we're in the bottom of the fourth. Here's
• 1:03:41
  Bannister, a high fly. Senefiel will be caught.
• 1:03:46
  Willie Wilson takes it. One run, one hit. Go
• 1:03:49
  ahead. WMAQ. Where you red and white, WMAQ is
• 1:03:59
  going to make you rich bumper stickers. We want
• 1:04:01
  thousands of dollars in cash and prizes to you.

  truck stops you, you win. It's that easy. Stick
• 1:04:22
  it and win with WMAQ. Hi, everybody. I'm Jimmy
• 1:04:25
  Pearsall for Emory Air Freight. Emory doesn't
• 1:04:27
  just go to major cities. They also go to the
• 1:04:29
  minors. So we don't have a first baseman. Lamar
• 1:05:28
  Johnson is not on the field as yet. California
• 1:05:34
  defeated the Yankees 3 -2, as Harry said before,
• 1:05:36
  napped the winning pitcher. Seattle finally broke
• 1:05:39
  Boston's win streak. I think it was at 10, 3
• 1:05:42
  -2 today. The Cubs play at Houston tonight. Baltimore
• 1:05:47
  defeated Oakland 2 -1. Minnesota continues to...
• 1:05:52
  Detroit, they beat them three straight, eight
• 1:05:54
  to four. Cincinnati, they beat them to St. Louis,
• 1:05:57
  four to two. Julio Martinez lost his second game
• 1:06:01
  in a row. All right, Lamar Johnson has returned
• 1:06:05
  to the field and we're ready to go here. We're
• 1:06:09
  on the top of the fifth inning, Carroll leading
• 1:06:10
  it off. Shiller's set. Her ball inside at high,
• 1:06:16
  ball one. One ball. I hope we can get six innings
• 1:06:20
  out of him. Good six innings. I have a signal
• 1:06:24
  given. Seattle will be here tomorrow night. Curves.
• 1:06:28
  One on. Popped up on the infield. That's going
• 1:06:30
  to be easy. Cussinger under the ball. Makes the
• 1:06:33
  catch. One man out. When Shuler comes side after
• 1:06:36
  these guys that don't play very much like Carroll,
• 1:06:38
  their butt goes out and the bat goes oop. And
• 1:06:40
  a little pop fly. Here now is Willie Wilson.
• 1:06:44
  He's nothing out of two. Wilson, who I'm surprised
• 1:06:48
  doesn't butt more, has become a switch hitter,
• 1:06:50
  but all he has to do is get the ball on the ground
• 1:06:52
  and he almost beats it out all the time. One
• 1:06:55
  of the fastest men in all of baseball. Here's
• 1:07:01
  a picture of the fastball high. One ball, no
• 1:07:04
  strikes. One away here. Ben Harden, the orchestra
• 1:07:09
  man, is here today. Great rhythm you have, Harry.
• 1:07:19
  He gives a little band. Huh? Are you kidding
• 1:07:23
  me? Two balls, no strikes. Not a pitcher, it
• 1:07:29
  is. I don't think he's a left -handed hitter.
• 1:07:33
  No, he isn't. He's just teaching him to be a
• 1:07:36
  left -handed hitter. He's got that kind of a
• 1:07:37
  swing. I hope I can hit it. He's got the kind
• 1:07:40
  of a swing. He's just trying to bounce the ball
• 1:07:41
  on the ground so he can beat it out. Two balls
• 1:07:44
  and a strike. He was going to bust. Pitch was
• 1:07:49
  low and inside. Ball three. Shuler knowing this
• 1:07:52
  is just trying to get it over, but it just won't.
• 1:07:54
  Sometimes it'll happen that way. Three balls
• 1:07:56
  and a strike. One man out, nobody on. Five to
• 1:08:02
  nothing and save it a white shot. Now the fifth.
• 1:08:08
  Swings and he pulls the ball foul. And the count
• 1:08:11
  is full at three and two. Oh, boy, that guy in
• 1:08:13
  the left field reaches and he's got all those
• 1:08:15
  cups, about 150 of them, standing up in the air.
• 1:08:17
  Look at them bending. Whoops. Three balls, two
• 1:08:22
  strikes. Here's the putt. Walked it for all four.
• 1:08:28
  He had to walk him. He didn't want to do that
• 1:08:31
  because he will bother you. You run everywhere.
• 1:08:35
  That's the fourth walk off Schiller. The fans
• 1:08:44
  are cheering for anything to fall. They're piling
• 1:08:46
  up those beer cups in a funnel, as it were. A
• 1:08:51
  runner at first, one out, is Sam Phuket. He's
• 1:08:55
  nothing out of two. Flip over to first base,
• 1:08:58
  the runner back. All the other baseball is over
• 1:09:04
  with the exception of the bank game. Again, Wilson
• 1:09:08
  gets back. Willie Wilson. One strike and nothing.
• 1:09:40
  One man out. We're in the fifth. Now the stretch.
• 1:09:48
  The pitch. Way high and wide. It dropped, Harry.
• 1:09:52
  Some of it. A ball and a strike. Poke test. Hitting
• 1:09:59
  .236. Good left -hand batter. Now the delivery.
• 1:10:05
  Here it is. There goes the runner's foot off.
• 1:10:07
  Long drive. on second base and had to re -tag
• 1:10:28
  the bag and then go back. Lemon made a good throw
• 1:10:31
  off balance. Any other runner might have been
• 1:10:32
  out. They're claiming that he did not touch the
• 1:10:37
  bag going back, but it's not allowed. I can tell
• 1:10:40
  them that he did. Let's see now. They're going
• 1:10:43
  to throw back there off the rubber. Schumer is
• 1:10:48
  set. They're waiting for Brett to get in there.
• 1:10:51
  Now he's waiting for Brett to get in there. Bob
• 1:11:01
  Lemon, the manager, coming out to talk to Joe
• 1:11:04
  Brinkman. Finally, Brinkman saw him, tagged the
• 1:11:13
  bag, and retreated. Lemon is saved, but you were
• 1:11:17
  standing over by third base. It's an awfully
• 1:11:20
  tough call over out there. Suarez, two men out.
• 1:11:36
  Wilson to leave. Pitch to Brett is a little bit
• 1:11:42
  high. Again, Wilson makes a false start. As if
• 1:11:47
  he's going. One ball, no strike. I'd like to
• 1:11:52
  see Shuler just concentrate on Brett because
• 1:11:54
  he can hit the ball on the ballpark. You've got
• 1:11:55
  to make good pictures on him. Here's the delivery.
• 1:11:59
  There goes the runner. Swung on, fouled. Out
• 1:12:01
  of play. And the count is even up at a ball and
• 1:12:04
  a strike. Willie Wilson. on a little bit of show
• 1:12:07
  out there. He can fly. He can really run. And
• 1:12:13
  Brett has been hitting the ball at second base
• 1:12:15
  seven times or so almost in this series. Four
• 1:12:18
  to three. And now that fastball was blown away
• 1:12:21
  and Brett fouled it off to the left side. If
• 1:12:23
  he can keep it out there, that's a good pitch.
• 1:12:26
  1 -1 delivery. There goes the runner. The pitch,
• 1:12:30
  the throw. Here he is. Houston gets outrun the
• 1:12:43
  ball. Florida got a man in scoring position now.
• 1:12:47
  Two balls to the strike. All the American League
• 1:12:51
  baseball is over with the exception of Toronto
• 1:12:53
  at Texas. They start in about an hour and a half.
• 1:12:59
  Here we're in the second game in the fifth inning.
• 1:13:02
  White Sox leading five to nothing. Shuler gets
• 1:13:08
  ready to pitch. Watch the all today for Los Angeles.
• 1:13:17
  He's now six and six. Quick to the loser. He's
• 1:13:20
  three and six. The Dodgers are creeping up now.
• 1:13:23
  Three balls and a strike on Brett. Here's the
• 1:13:28
  pitch. Swings and he fouls it off his foot. That's
• 1:13:32
  a full count. Three balls, two strikes. Two outs.
• 1:13:38
  Five to nothing. White Sox. Ball game in the
• 1:13:42
  fifth. Well, that really hurt. Hit him right
• 1:13:44
  flush. And Shuler keeping the ball down good
• 1:13:47
  to him now. He'll want to throw it out of the
• 1:13:50
  way if he can or in and away. It doesn't make
• 1:13:52
  any difference. He's got to keep it down. There
• 1:13:56
  he goes. Two strikes. Willie Wilson will lead
• 1:14:05
  at second base. Now the stretch. Wilson. Going
• 1:14:21
  two bases today. Big hole in right center field
• 1:14:25
  now. Washington has moved over towards the line.
• 1:14:28
  Lemon is still two steps towards left center,
• 1:14:31
  so there's a big gap in right center. Play ball,
• 1:14:34
  two strikes. Wilson now a swipe, 26 bases. There's
• 1:14:40
  a stretch by Kuehler, the putt. A bouncing...
• 1:15:00
  is saluting the families of America. It's our
• 1:15:03
  way of saying thanks. here. Ah, the signal given.
• 1:16:21
  Look at that. Boy, he was jammed. He had a little
• 1:16:24
  roller right back to the pitcher. Easy out. One
• 1:16:29
  gone. Here's Lemon. He's nothing for the day.
• 1:16:36
  Seems like for a week the poor guys are getting
• 1:16:39
  nothing but jammers. Well, good news for our
• 1:16:42
  good friend Lee Stern. His Chicago Sting beat
• 1:16:46
  the trike. Two to nothing. There's the pitch
• 1:16:51
  to Lemon. Curve strike. Boy, that's the one he's
• 1:16:54
  got to hit because that fastball is on top of
• 1:16:56
  him. There's a breaking ball down the middle.
• 1:17:26
  double hit to hit that ball inside the line.
• 1:17:28
  I'm glad he did because that put the runner on
• 1:17:30
  second. And brings up Nordhagen to double the
• 1:17:34
  right center in the second. Popped up in the
• 1:17:36
  third. Five to nothing in favor of the White
• 1:17:39
  Sox. The San Francisco Giants are going for a
• 1:17:43
  double dip. Here's the pitch. Kansas City has
• 1:18:12
  scored 276 runs this year. We have scored 246
• 1:18:15
  runs going into this ballgame. So we've scored
• 1:18:17
  a fair run, too. Hey, Rocky, I bet my pinto gets
• 1:19:17
  better mileage than your pinto, yeah. Tell me,
• 1:19:19
  what do you got in that thing? Yeah, well, I
• 1:19:21
  got a new set of champion plugs. Oh, wow. Hey,
• 1:19:24
  I got a... Wait, I just remembered I got to get
• 1:19:25
  a headband. If they can win it, they'll be two
• 1:20:46
  and a half out. The White Sox, going into this
• 1:20:50
  ballgame, trail by three and a half games. If
• 1:20:52
  they can win it, they'll be two and a half out.
• 1:20:55
  A one -strike pitch. Breaking ball on the inside
• 1:20:58
  corner for a strike and a beauty. That time,
• 1:21:00
  Shuler came over the top. Bannister's in left
• 1:21:03
  field. Two strikes and no balls. He got a breaking
• 1:21:28
  ball pretty high as the doc goes out to talk
• 1:21:30
  to him now. The trainer, Charlie Stad, wants
• 1:21:34
  to see that hand. Looks like it's his fingers.
• 1:21:40
  Bob Levin is going to walk out and talk to him
• 1:21:41
  right now. But that ball really hurt. He had
• 1:21:44
  him two strikes and no balls. Came in with a
• 1:21:46
  breaking ball. That hurtle lying right back at
• 1:21:49
  him. It hit right on his glove, but I don't think
• 1:21:52
  it hit in the glove. It hit on the top of it.
• 1:21:57
  Los Angeles has defeated Montreal 5 -0. San Diego
• 1:22:01
  defeated Philadelphia 3 -0. And, oh, check that.
• 1:22:04
  They're in the seventh inning in that ballgame.
• 1:22:06
  Cincinnati won 4 -2. San Francisco won the first
• 1:22:11
  game, and it looks like they're going to take
• 1:22:12
  him out of there. He doesn't want to come out,
• 1:22:15
  but it looks like he might have broken something
• 1:22:17
  in his hand. And the trainer wants to take him
• 1:22:20
  into the dugout and get some ice on it in a hurry.
• 1:22:23
  And that might mean somebody else is going to
• 1:22:25
  come in to pitch. And that's going to be all
• 1:22:27
  for Shuler. Then a sacrifice fly to right by
• 1:23:03
  Naha Rodney for one run. Then Soderholm hit a
• 1:23:06
  home run just in the front row of the left field
• 1:23:08
  seat for the second run of the ballgame. Then
• 1:23:11
  in the third inning, after Pryor lined out, Bannister
• 1:23:16
  walked. Willoughby will come in now, and he'll
• 1:23:18
  warm up. He'll have all the time he wants. Claudel
• 1:23:22
  Washington then hit a high curveball for a home
• 1:23:25
  run. hit to lose your ball game. He's hit 44
• 1:24:16
  innings, given up 35 hits, 13 runs, 12 on the
• 1:24:23
  run, one home run, six bases on ball. He has
• 1:24:28
  struck out 17, has hit two batters. Willoughby,
• 1:24:32
  a side -armer who picked for Boston the last
• 1:24:34
  few years, has been outstanding. He throws a
• 1:24:37
  side -arm thinker, the right -handers, he can
• 1:24:39
  really make those guys bail out with that curveball.
• 1:25:57
  you by WMAQ Radio, NBC, where they'll make Chicago,
• 1:26:02
  they'll make you rich, WMAQ. So Willoughby gets
• 1:26:06
  all the time in the world to throw. The lineup
• 1:26:10
  today, especially in this ballgame, is Nort Higgins
• 1:26:15
  behind the plate. Naha Rodney has been the Iron
• 1:26:17
  Man. He's caught pretty near every ballgame and
• 1:26:19
  has done a whale of a job. Washington. about
• 1:26:26
  something but the sun The White Sox are leading
• 1:28:20
  5 -0. field for a base hit. Lemon up with it.
• 1:29:17
  McRae reached for a breaking ball and hit it
• 1:29:19
  by Kessinger on the line. Kissed by him. About
• 1:29:22
  a foot more and he had a double play. He had
• 1:29:25
  gone 0 for 14 in the series before that hit.
• 1:29:32
  Darryl Porter will step in. Porter won the first
• 1:29:34
  game with a base hit in the 11th inning. He singles
• 1:29:37
  in a fourth inning. Walked back in a second.
• 1:29:41
  2 -9 now. That was the third hit of the game
• 1:29:44
  for Kansas City. Lamar now playing behind a runner.
• 1:29:49
  He's not holding him a crayon. He's off the line
• 1:29:53
  and plenty deep. Will it be ready? The right
• 1:29:58
  -hander delivers from the side. Fastball just
• 1:30:00
  misses outside. Nordhagen wanted it as he goes
• 1:30:02
  to the mound. Looks like he wanted a breaking
• 1:30:04
  ball. There's no other reason for him to go out
• 1:30:08
  there but to mention it to him that maybe they
• 1:30:10
  got their indicator wrong. Tremendous gap in
• 1:30:13
  left center field, even though Bannister is off
• 1:30:17
  the line and left. Kirtle with a short lead at
• 1:30:20
  second. Trey lead at first. The pitch. Pass ball
• 1:30:26
  hits the inside corner. Portage didn't like it
• 1:30:27
  a bit. One ball and one strike. The Kansas City
• 1:30:31
  Royals leading the American League West by three
• 1:30:35
  and a half games now over the White Sox. If the
• 1:30:37
  White Sox could win this game, they'd go two
• 1:30:39
  and a half back. looks back at second base kicks
• 1:30:43
  and delivers fastball swing on hard shot shortstop
• 1:30:46
  up with it over the fire back 65th double play
• 1:31:11
  of the year for the White Sox. The opposition
• 1:31:13
  has had 54. Willoughby now will take his full
• 1:31:18
  windup. Hurdle down at third. Two out there as
• 1:31:22
  the White Sox come up with a big double play.
• 1:31:25
  Al Collins the hitter. Collins has flied to left.
• 1:31:30
  Both times up. Willoughby ready. Comes sidearm.
• 1:31:34
  Breaking ball. Just misses low. Nordhagen says
• 1:31:37
  something to him, but Ford doing a good job behind
• 1:31:40
  the plate. Alex Ketz is behind the plate. Check
• 1:31:47
  that. Ketz is doing a good job behind the plate.
• 1:31:49
  I like that guy with that balloon protector.
• 1:31:51
  They seem to cover the plate better. One ball
• 1:31:54
  and a strike as time is called. Willoughby went
• 1:31:57
  into his motion, but time was called. Bannister
• 1:32:02
  deep and left, over towards the line. The pitch,
• 1:32:05
  swung on. He was struck on the middle finger
• 1:32:20
  of his glove hand, which is his left hand, and
• 1:32:23
  they're going to take him for x -rays. So that
• 1:32:25
  ball must have really jarred him. One ball and
• 1:32:27
  one strike. Two outs. White Sox leading 5 -0
• 1:32:30
  in the sixth. Will it be ready? Breaking ball,
• 1:32:33
  swung on. Ground ball, third base. Got her home.
• 1:32:36
  Up with it. Fires over for the out and a nice
• 1:32:37
  play by Johnson. So, the White Sox get out of
• 1:32:40
  a jam on a fine double play. And the score, after
• 1:32:44
  five and a half innings of play, the Chicago
• 1:32:46
  White Sox 5, the Kansas City Royals nothing.
• 1:32:49
  That's my Brewster. Here's the pitch. Curveball
• 1:32:52
  beneath, right three, five, three, five. This
• 1:32:55
  is Kurt Gowdy for your Slush List Club Theater.
• 1:32:58
  You know, although baseball is more than 135
• 1:33:00
  years old, it wasn't until the game was already
• 1:33:02
  30 years old that the first curveball was thrown.
• 1:33:05
  In 1867, a man named William A. Candy Cummings
• 1:33:09
  tossed that phenomenon to the surprise of the
• 1:33:12
  batter who was facing him at the time. And we've
• 1:33:14
  got an equally surprising phenomenon for users
• 1:33:17
  of forklift trucks. There's a strong competitor
• 1:33:20
  to a Clark lift truck that costs about half as
• 1:33:23
  much. This lift truck can deliver thousands of
• 1:33:25
  hours of reliable service. Clark's strongest
• 1:33:28
  competitor? A huge Clark. To find out more about
• 1:33:32
  this phenomenon, see your Clark dealer today.
• 1:33:34
  Tell him Kurt Gowdy sent you, and you won a straight
• 1:33:37
  pitch on used Lyft trucks. See your Clark Lyft
• 1:33:41
  of Chicago dealer for Lyft truck savings that
• 1:33:43
  are straight down the middle. That's Clark Lyft
• 1:33:45
  of Chicago, the Lyft truck people. You can take
• 1:34:02
  a seven -ounce bottle of Stroh's beer out of
• 1:34:05
  his handy six -pack. When using your wrist, you
• 1:34:08
  just twist off the top. The rest is easy, especially
• 1:34:12
  with a great taste of Stroh's beer. So pick up
• 1:34:16
  some seven -ounce bottles of Stroh's in the eight
• 1:34:19
  -pack today or tomorrow, sure, and give your
• 1:34:22
  wrist a good workout. Rodney swung on. Popped
• 1:34:38
  up. Pawtack at shortstop will take it for the
• 1:34:40
  out. And now the second baseman's coming over
• 1:34:42
  in front of him. The nose. Freddie takes it for
• 1:34:44
  out number one. So on the first pitch, Naha Rodney
• 1:34:47
  pops the short. They're placing him around towards
• 1:35:30
  left. Big hole in the right center field. And
• 1:35:35
  ready. Delivers over to top. What a nice play
• 1:35:38
  by Porter as he digs it out of the dirt. Two
• 1:35:41
  balls and one strike. We're in the bottom of
• 1:35:44
  the sixth inning. The White Sox are leading 5
• 1:35:46
  -0. They've got five runs on six hits. Three
• 1:35:48
  of them home runs. There's a pitch in the dirt
• 1:35:51
  again. The count now goes to three balls and
• 1:35:53
  one strike. You know, when you get a couple of
• 1:35:56
  home runs... through with his hips. The 3 -1
• 1:36:06
  pitch now. Off floor, a breaking ball in the
• 1:36:10
  dirt. So pass with the count of 3 -1 went to
• 1:36:12
  the slider and threw it in the dirt. One out
• 1:36:15
  here and one run. That'll bring to the plate
• 1:36:19
  Kessinger who has flied to right and he is flying
• 1:36:23
  to second base. One out here now. The Yankees
• 1:36:31
  lost 3 -2 and so did the Red Sox. Anything can
• 1:36:38
  happen right here now, a hit and run. Brett looking
• 1:36:40
  for anything at third, in on the grass. Pitch
• 1:36:43
  on the outside corner for the strike. On deck.
• 1:36:47
  Friar. Kessinger now looks down for anything.
• 1:36:50
  It could be a hit and run. Adolfo with the count
• 1:36:52
  of one strike. He's home between first and second.
• 1:36:57
  Conner home with his lead. Patton at the belt.
• 1:36:59
  Delivers a fastball that brushes Kessinger back.
• 1:37:08
  the infield, out on the outfield now. Terrell,
• 1:37:10
  the second baseman, over by the bag. So is Portek,
• 1:37:13
  looking for a double play. There goes the runner.
• 1:37:15
  Just went out and fouled off to the left side.
• 1:37:17
  Kessinger got a tough pitch to hit and run with.
• 1:37:19
  It was way outside. And to protect the runner,
• 1:37:22
  he hit it anywhere he could. And that's what
• 1:37:24
  you got to do when you're hitting and running.
• 1:37:25
  You've got to make sure you make contact. A vital
• 1:37:29
  part of managing is to know what hitters can
• 1:37:31
  protect the place. I don't think we hit and run
• 1:37:36
  eight times last year, maybe five times. One
• 1:37:40
  ball and two strikes on Don Kessinger, the better
• 1:37:42
  playing a doubleheader. Pat now goes over the
• 1:37:46
  stretch, looks at first base. The right -hander
• 1:37:48
  ready, comes to a full stop, picks and delivers
• 1:37:50
  way outside. The conk goes even at two balls
• 1:37:54
  and two strikes. White Sox, they hit five to
• 1:37:58
  nothing. They lost the first game, three to two
• 1:38:00
  in the 11th inning. Passenger looking again.
• 1:38:03
  It still could be on right here. Way off the
• 1:38:06
  bag at third now is Brett. Hurdle, the first
• 1:38:09
  baseman, holding out against the runner. Soderholm
• 1:38:11
  with a short lead. There he goes. Pitch one on.
• 1:38:13
  Boy, that was another bad pitch. That ball was
• 1:38:16
  high and outside. Passenger just got a piece
• 1:38:18
  of it. So Soderholm has to come all the way back,
• 1:38:22
  and his legs must be feeling much better after
• 1:38:24
  two home runs. Sometimes base hits do a lot for
• 1:38:27
  him. in place of White. White came out of the
• 1:38:35
  first game late in the ball game. He must be
• 1:38:37
  injured too. So both ball clubs have had some
• 1:38:39
  injuries today. Patton ready. Takes a sign. Delivers.
• 1:38:45
  Hits one on. Hits it in the right field for a
• 1:38:47
  base hit. I would like to get out of a double
• 1:39:33
  play. I'd like to see him squeeze right here.
• 1:39:56
  down at Bobby Knapp. Kessinger down at Spurs
• 1:40:00
  with a single to right. The White Sox with a
• 1:40:02
  chance to pick up another run. Second player
• 1:41:26
  down at first. Hit swung on, hit out front, second
• 1:41:55
  base. Carroll over with it. Back to first base
• 1:41:59
  for a double play. Freddie really fired that
• 1:42:02
  ball at first base. His cruise was jammed and
• 1:42:04
  he didn't get out of the box. And that before
• 1:42:06
  the White Sox come up with one run. License,

  to be crazy not to use Emory. Mark Brown and
• 1:43:20
  Jimmy Pearsall back at Comiskey Park as we go
• 1:43:22
  to the seventh inning. White Sox leading here,
• 1:43:24
  game two, six to nothing after losing a heartbreaker
• 1:43:27
  three to two in the first game. And Jimmy, I'll
• 1:43:30
  tell you what, I think the fact that this is
• 1:43:32
  father -son -daughter day may have helped this
• 1:43:35
  small club a little bit. Nobody had a chance
• 1:43:37
  to sit through to the clubhouse. They're all
• 1:43:38
  on the field with their kids. think about game
• 1:43:42
  one and the fact that they had one of the toughest
• 1:43:44
  left -handers in baseball, the baseball foot
• 1:43:46
  off. They came out here swinging from the heels.
• 1:43:48
  Good point. And also these fans are not going
• 1:43:50
  to let them prove. I'll tell you, they want to
• 1:43:52
  win and they can really get you pumped up and
• 1:43:54
  excited. I, as a simple announcer, get excited
• 1:43:57
  listening to them. The umpire behind the plate
• 1:44:24
  had to make that call, and he made it right away,
• 1:44:26
  too. So the umpire behind the plate today is
• 1:44:29
  Kitts, I guess. And he's doing the best job of
• 1:44:31
  anybody I've seen behind the plate, not just
• 1:44:33
  because we're winning, because either club is
• 1:44:35
  arguing with him. Well, I used your quote. Game
• 1:44:40
  one, Joe Brinkman was a pitcher's umpire. That's
• 1:44:42
  right. For both sides. Right -handed right here
• 1:44:45
  is the pitch to Terrell, and it's a strike. And
• 1:44:49
  then another thing, you lose a tough game like
• 1:44:50
  that, men got Slidorff to look forward to. The
• 1:44:53
  White Sox have rebounded off of him after he
• 1:44:56
  beat the Sox two weeks ago. Here's the one -strike
• 1:44:59
  pitcher swinging a grounder to second. Fires,
• 1:45:01
  got it. And he throws over to first. And there's
• 1:45:05
  two outs. You know, the last double play that
• 1:45:08
  we made was outstanding. I want to say two guys
• 1:45:11
  with soft hands, with knowing what to do and
• 1:45:14
  where to be. I think if they played together
• 1:45:16
  all the time, you'd see some plays. long, but
• 1:45:19
  of course, Orta has been sensational, too. That's
• 1:45:21
  why we're better. We've got better utility instillers
• 1:45:23
  and guys that can play anywhere. I think the
• 1:45:26
  only thing that we're lacking right now is that
• 1:45:28
  extra right -handed hitter. Here's the pitch
• 1:45:31
  and a slow ball. Yeah, I know that. And I think
• 1:45:34
  if Nordhagen maybe gets some more catching, he
• 1:45:37
  might be even better, too. So it's highly important
• 1:45:40
  that we can fill a few spots if we're going to
• 1:45:42
  go all the way. And the pitching has just been
• 1:45:44
  outstanding. Right -handed ready. Here's the
• 1:45:46
  1 -0 pitch. strike in the outside corner. You
• 1:45:49
  realize in his last three ballgames in a total
• 1:45:52
  of 18 innings, Shuler has allowed only two earned
• 1:45:56
  runs for an earned run average of 1 .00 with
• 1:45:59
  five walks and 15 strikeouts. Here's the pitcher
• 1:46:02
  to swing and a fly ball left center field. Lemon

  third of the way down the line. A third. And
• 1:49:18
  George Brett throws it out of play. 3 -2 the
• 1:49:21

• 1:50:21
  High and inside. A ball. Pitching shut high and
• 1:50:25
  tight all day. Doesn't adjust to it at all. He
• 1:50:29
  stays right on top of that plate. Different theories
• 1:50:33
  on that. Some people think he should back off.
• 1:50:35
  Others, like a Ted Williams, don't change at
• 1:50:38
  all. Stay with what got you there. Here's a pitch,
• 1:50:42
  and it's a called strike. Snap throw to first,

  that Kansas City did two weeks ago. Right -hander
• 1:51:07
  ready. Here's the one -two pitch, and it's outside
• 1:51:09
  of all. The one thing you have to keep in mind

  about promoting Chicago baseball fans is that

  every home game of the year with an occasional
• 1:51:20
  Monday night game, It's televised. Here's the

  pitch. Here's a swing and a fly ball. He adjusted.
• 1:52:10
  Go down about it. And it's an 8 -0 ball game.
• 1:52:16
  7 of the 8 runs. and there's one out. But talking
• 1:53:31
  about the Chicago baseball fan, and I include
• 1:53:33
  both fans of the White Sox and the Cubs, that
• 1:53:36
  every home game, with the exception of maybe
• 1:53:39
  three or four a year on Monday night, are televised
• 1:53:43
  here in the Windy City. And still, over three
• 1:53:47
  million came out a year ago, and could well go
• 1:53:53
  over that mark again this year. Here's the pitch
• 1:53:55
  to Bill Naharatne, who's holding a foul off the
• 1:53:58
  catcher. Drove in the first run of the ballgame
• 1:54:01
  with a sacrifice fly. That was the only run the
• 1:54:05
  White Sox did not get on a homer. Then Sonderholm
• 1:54:07
  hit a solo homer. Washington a two -run homer.
• 1:54:10
  Here's the pitch. Here's a swing and a pop -up
• 1:54:13

  two for five and driving in a run in game number
• 1:54:40
  one. We'll have the hot corner show on with Sauter
• 1:54:43
  home after the ball game. Here's the pitch high
• 1:54:45
  and inside the ball. Snap throw to first, the
• 1:54:47
  runner back. Eight to nothing, the White Sox
• 1:54:52
  leading. Ron Schuller out of the ball game after
• 1:54:56
  being hit on the little finger of his left hand,
• 1:54:58
  his non -pitching hand. Take it in for X -Ray.
• 1:55:00
  There's a swing and a foul on Kansas City Royals,
• 1:55:15
  California will pick up a half a game on Kansas
• 1:55:17
  City. Here's a pitch high on inside of all and
• 1:55:19
  move within one game at first. Oakland would
• 1:55:23
  be two and a half back, tied with the White Sox.
• 1:55:54
  here in game two. In the American League East,
• 1:56:00

  Singling to right. Here's the pitch inside of

  Baltimore. Giants are shutting out the Mets in
• 1:56:34
  a doubleheader. They beat them 3 -0 in Game 1,
• 1:56:36
  leading 2 -0 at the end of 7 in Game 2. Here's
• 1:56:38
  the pitcher swinging a foul back to the screen.
• 1:56:41
  Atlanta beat the Pirates 8 -7. Cincinnati over
• 1:56:44
  the Cardinals 4 -2. And San Diego beating the
• 1:56:47
  Phillies 3 -0 in the bottom of the eighth. The
• 1:56:49
  Cubs will be at Houston tonight. Patton out of
• 1:56:56
  the stretch. Here's the pitch, and it's a called

• 2:04:50
  pursuers, got beat. Luton making his first start

  the pitch swing and a one -hopper off the glove
• 2:05:18

  off the box, he's railing right back to the first
• 2:05:25

  in Houston. Okay, and I'm able to... Here's the
• 2:08:40
  pitcher pointing a fly ball down the right field
• 2:08:42
  line. to the box seat and fans don't realize
