Great Crowd, Bad Result
Not Too Many of These
The good news this season is that there have not been too many blah nights like tonight. We drew a great Monday crowd — 32,952 — but played poorly in the first few innings to put us in a deep hole. We all are disappointed. It seems every time we get a big crowd and play on National TV, we struggle. Tomorrow is another day. Make sure to look at the standings, maybe it will make you feel a little better.
Our presale for the week is really strong, so look for big crowds all week and weekend (Dodgers). Through May, our attendance was up 12 percent, the ninth-biggest increase in baseball and the third-largest in the American League. We topped 1.5 million tickets sold a month ahead of last year’s pace, so the trends are very good.
News on Frank
Good news on Frank Thomas. It was just a cramp. He should be fine tomorrow.

I was there, and I have to say, a Frank Thomas fireworks display makes any game worthwhile, even an ugly loss.
eh- i’m sure we got it all out of our system tonight. so lets look at the positive:
1. frank hits homer(and is okay)
2. crede and uribe both get hits
3. contreras struggled, but still gave us 6 innings
4. shingo and visky both pitched well
i still have tons of faith.
Can’t figure out why the game wasn’t broadcast on ESPN in Indy, but I did listen on XM. Great to hear that Thomas is ok and I’m looking forward to seeing Dodgers v. Sox on Saturday!
Come talk it up on http://www.southsiders.net a great place to talk with other white sox fans.
