Paul Konerko and Jermaine Dye were two major components to the White Sox's beating up of the North Side Scum.
Jon Garland started the game, pitched 3 innings striking out 1 and only allowing 2 hits. No Runs.
Then came Charlie Haegar in the 4th inning he struck out one also, but only went 2 innings. But enough of the pitching, lets get to the killer offense!
Brian Anderson and Robert Valido's first at bats resulted in strikeouts. Then up came Paul Konerko to face Rich Hill (who pitched awesome... yes I said that...) and crush a 3-2 fastball 400 feet out of the park. Followed by a Jermaine Dye fly out to second. The second inning comes up with a K for Josh Fields, and a double play. In the erd inning things didn't go much better. But the Sox lit up in the 4th. The inning started out with a walk to Valido, and a walk to Paulie. Up cam Jermaine Dye with 2 on, no out, smashed some 2-1 high cheese for a 3-run bomb. Wait, it gets better. No, really!
Fields grounded out, then came a first-pitch jack from Rob Mackowiak (the "official" Cubs killer of the team). Nothing happend after that until the 5th inning when Paulie crushed another home run! I love this guy!
The damage quieted down for awhile. Until the 8th inning when Rob Mackowiak hit a single, moved to second base on a Wiki Gonzalez strike out, then was driven in on a Gustavo Molina (no relation to Jose, Bengie and Yadier) home run. I dont know who he is either!
The Sox scored 2 more runs in the 9th for a final score of:
Sox 13 - Cubs 2 (ha ha ha!)
