White Sox come up with another way to lose a game Tuesday

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:11:09 GMT

KANSAS CITY — As an incredibly disappointing season continues to wind down, things only seem to get more painful for the White Sox. Tuesday was once again proof of that, as the club found a way to lose a game they had a great chance to win at Kauffman Stadium.Up 6-0 early in the contest and still leading by one run in the ninth, reliever Gregory Santos surrendered a game-tying double to Bobby Witt Jr. before a most bizarre ending to the game. With the bases loaded and Edward Olivares at the plate, Santos was called for a balk on the first pitch, allowing the winning run to come to the plate in a 7-6 Royals victory. It's the second time that Kansas City has won on a walk-off balk this season and adds to more misery for the White Sox in the second half of the season. It's the fifth-straight loss for Pedro Grifol's team and the seventh in their last eight games as they fall to 15-32 in the second half of the season. They're now 53-86 on the season, trending toward 100 losses just two y...

(KTLA) – Does pineapple belong on pizza? Some people will say no without hesitation, but the controversial topping has a loyal group of defenders.So does the humble pickle chip, which has found itself atop pizzas more and more regularly in recent years, often paired with a smooth and subtle cheese that lets the vinegary taste shine.But despite their vocal fans, both pickles and pineapple remain some of the most controversial toppings that pizza-makers have to offer.
