The All-Star break could have been a road bump that derailed the White Sox momemtum as they cruised into the break with an 8-game winning streak. Instead, they've picked up right where they left off, winning ugly, and racking up their second 9+game winning streak of the year.  ... They've only had 3 such streaks in my lifetime (if you don't count their 10-game stretch that spanned two seasons -- and I know I don't) and two of them
