White Sox Player Stays Up Late To Buy Halo: Reach
When facing a crucial game with a division rival that's leading in the standings, most baseball players might consider getting a good night's sleep. Thankfully (for Twins fans), not Chicago White Sox second baseman Brent Lillibridge. Last night, Liilibridge sent the following tweet at 11PM Central Time:
"Most important night of the year Halo coming out at 12 tonight and yes I'm in a line to get it... Jokes please." He went on to tweet a picture of the midnight launch line.
His teammate Mark Teahan didn't take kindly to this apparent lack of interest in tonight's game versus the Twins – an important one for the Sox, who trail the Twins by six games.
Teahan responded via Twitter: "Brent, get to bed. Take Gavin, Thornton & Putz with you. Halo will survive the night without you."
Lillibridge then responded, "I promise I'll be in bed early 2nite Noone wants to win more than I do. As much as I luv playing bball I have a lot of nerd in me." He followed up with another tweet this afternoon, saying, ""I did get to bed quite early so trust me can't wait for the big game tonight... #Halo is awesome!"
On the one hand this is awesome, because we're always in favor of more athletes representing gaming. On the other hand, it's also awesome because the Twins rule. Suck it, Sox! We can only hope that White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, the most entertaining person in sports, joins the Twitter commentary on this matter.
