From yesterday:
Alexei Ramirez (2-3, 2 RBIs) and Dayan Viciedo (3-4, RBI) continued their hot hitting to balance out the Sox going 3-13 with runners in scoring position, helping the offense support a four-person relief effort after Jose Quintana was ejected to lead the Sox past Tampa Bay 4-3.
On Quintana's ejection: Hawk Harrelson was pretty upset, as well he should be.
Where does that rant rank on your all-time list of Hawk diatribes? Let us know here and re-live a few others. And Chicago Tribune Live discussed the rant and the quality of umpiring in baseball:
Quintana deserved a better fate than to be ejected in the fourth inning of what may be his last start with the White Sox for a little while. But at the least, he's got the job done every time he's taken the ball in a White Sox uniform.
Robin Ventura earned his first ejection as a manager on Wednesday after the Quintana fiasco. Before the game, he joined the Dan Patrick Show to discuss the first-place Sox, among other topics:
A few other videos: Dale Sveum was complimentary of the White Sox, Gordon Beckham wrapped up the Rays series and Chicago Tribune Live discussed the Sox hot streak.
MLB
