Q: How many White Sox batters does it take to get a runner on second?
A: Four. One to hit a double and three to leave him there.
Twelve runners left stranded. An opposing ace on the ropes in the first inning. A chance to strike a deathblow before the Rays even get to bat.
The result? You know the answer to that.
The reason? You know the reason for that as well. Even Harold Reynolds made cracks about how many base hits it takes to generate a White Sox run.
Harold Reynolds!
