Game 11: Looking for Signs of Hope? Keep Looking.

ESPN highlights available here.

The Gist: Justin Verlander allows 6 earned runs and the Tigers muster only a pair of hits off three White Sox pitchers. Yadda, yadda, yadda. You’ve heard it all before.

The Quote: “Hey, the Diamondbacks have won eight in a row.” — Mike McClary, Phoenix-area resident.

The Stat: 39. The game-time temperature in Chicago…freakin’ ridiculous.

Baseball will never adjust its scheduling to keep its fans from getting frostbite or its players from getting weather-related injuries (see Guillen, Carlos).

Up Next: Kenny Rogers (0-2, 3.38) vs. Javier Vazquez (1-1, 5.25)
