A.J.'s slam pushes the Sox past the Tigers


Freddy Garcia threw a 1 hitter into the 9th, where Bobby Jenks took over to finish the game, although it was not a save situation. In the bottom of the 4th inning, follwing Dye's HBP, Thome's walk, and Konerko's single, catcher A.J. Pierzynski hit a grand slam to put the 1st 4 runs on the board YYEEESS!!! In the 5th, Jermaine Dye bombed his 43rd home run and Jim Thome blasted his 41st. Dye has a chance for 130 RBI + this season, he has 118 surrently with 10 games left in the season, thats 3 RBI per game and he could make it to 130. Kepp that in mind. Then, in the 7th, second baseman Tadahito Iguchi hit his 16th of the year. Garcia went 8.0 innings only allowing 1 hit in the 1st inning to Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez. Tonights attendance was, roughly, 39,850. The winning pitcher was, of course, Freddy Garcia who's record improves to 15-9 and the loser was Justin Verlander who's record went to 16-9. The Sox win the game Sox 7 - Tigers 0.

Visiting The Central

The Central standings look like this

Detroit - Leader
Minnesota - 1 game back
Chicago - 5 games
Cleveland - 19 1/2
Kansas City - 32 1/2, but hey, who really cares?


The Twins beat the Red Sox tonight. Which makes them one of the best teams in the Central
division. Their pitcing staff is one of the best in the MLB! With a healthy Fransisco Liriano and Johan Santan, they are a really, really, really, good team. The Sox have very few games to make up for, 'cuz they lost so many this month. The playoffs are a far way off for the Sox they are 4 1/2 games back in the Wild Card and need to win 5-6 more games in order to even think about the playoffs again.

P.S.
