K.C. 2 Sox 4

Yet another quality start from the rotation, and another White Sox winner. I have started to become spoiled with the pitching performance's that the Sox have been getting this season. In past years the Sox starters struggled to put together back to back quality starts, and this year, they struggle to put together back to back games without a quality start. This almost doesn't seem real.
On the mound....
Freddy looked pretty good this evening, surrendering only one run on 7 hits through the first 6 innings. He came out to pitch the 7th and put runners on 1st and 2nd before being pulled for Neil Cotts. The runners advanced on a passed ball by AJ, and following that Cotts walked the batter. Politte came in to relieve Cotts with 1 out and the bases juiced, got to a 0-2 count on Sox Killer Sweeny, then gave up a blooper to center. Rowand came on to make the catch and nearly pegged the runner tagging on 3rd with a throw to the plate that was deflected by the mound, killing it's momentum. Cliff struck out the next batter to end the inning. That last run was charged to Garcia, giving him a line of 6.1 IP 8H 2R. Hermanson came on to record the save, he of the 0.00 ERA.
At the plate...
The Sox looked alright tonight at the dish, with Crede and AJ each hitting homers. Crede's was on a good pitcher's pitch, down and in, and he turned on it and ripped it into the seats in left. Its nice to see the long ball, but I'm still waiting for them to string a bunch of hits together, with the heart of the order chipping in, for a nice big inning, a la the Minnesota Twins.

Side note: A couple post's ago I brought up BBTN's ripping of Sox fans and their refusal to give the Sox credit, and apparently I'm not the only one to notice. Over at White Sox Interactive (link on the right) there's a nice piece regarding this same issue. It's the latest addition in the "Totally Biased News Watch" box. The other two new pieces by Vickery and Laffer are also very good reads worth checking out.

BTW: What a great night in baseball....The Twins lose by one run to Cleveland, ending the game with the bases loaded, and the sCrUBS walk in the winning run in the bottom of the 9th inning in Milwaukee. I love this game.
