Mackowiak and Ozuna Put Big Hurt on A's

What a game! Frank Thomas hit two homeruns in his return to US Cellular Field, but in typical Frank fasion, he popped out in a cluctch situation. He came up with men on first and second and one out, and a passed ball gave him a man on third base. Then, he hit a pop-up to AJ, and Bobby Jenks struck out Bobby Crosby to end Oakland's tenth inning threat.

On the other hand, the White Sox had no trouble with clutch hitting. Rob Mackowiak hit a game tying two-run homer in the eighth, and Pablo Ozuna drove in AJ on a two out bunt single in the bottom of the tenth. Pablo Ozuna, yes!

The home plate umpire tonight was terrible. He repeatedly have Oakland's pitchers strikes that were chin high and shin low. Meanwhile, Jon Garland, Matt Thornton, and Bobby Jenks were squeezed, which led to Jon allowing all four Oakland runs. Ozzie chewed out the umpire in the second inning and was ejected. However, Ozzie was in the right because that umpire was horrible!
