Sox lose to the Tigers in game 1

The White Sox have lost. NO!!!!!!! Oh well. Kenny Rogers pitched a great game for the Tigers, and Magglio Ordonez did most of their scoring, bombing 2 homers for a grand total of 2 RBI!! Yup, 2 solo shots for Magglio. Mark Buehrle finished up the night with 4 K's, and Josh Fields homered in his first MLB at bat tonight, his first home run/hit ever!. Jim Thome (left) also blasted his 40th home run of the season, in the 8th inning. He now has 101 RBI on the season. The first time since 2004. Brandon Inge also homered for the Tigers in the 9th inning off of Brandon McCarthy. The Sox have 12 more games left to play in the regular season and need to go on an 8-9 game winning streak in order for the Sox to hopefully make it to the playoffs. The Twins also need to stink in the next handfull of games in order for the Sox to make it. The bullpen was de-fective once again for the Sox, with McCarthy, Logan, and Tracy all doing below average.
The final score: Tigers 8 - Sox 2. The Sox's record moves to 84-65 while the Tigers' moves to 90-60.

Visiting The Central

The Twins did not play tonight which is a good thing, sort of, for the Sox. And the Tigers are playing the Sox. The Tigers are now leading in the Central by 1 1/2 games over the Twins. In tomorrows game, for the Twins, the pitching matchup will be Matt Garza for the Twins and Tim Wakefield for the Red Sox. And the Sox-Tigers game will be Freddy Garcia (above, right) for the Sox, and Justin Verlander for the Tigers.
