Sox Pound Cubs Thoughts

The White Sox beat the snot out of the AAAA team from the north side 6-1. There was little pressure on the south siders. Our boys are vastly superior to theirs, and the Cubs need to win just to salvage their season. Meanwhile, we are the defending champions, which is something the Cubs have not been able to say since Teddy Rossevelt's second term.

This game was typical Cubs baseball. Maddux repeatedly missed his locations and was crushed by the greatest team that Chicago has seen since the great 2005 White Sox. Meanwhile, Ronnie Cedeno made an error of omission by throwing to first when he could have thrown Jim Thome out at home plate, and Neifi Perez made an error of comission on a throwing error.

Not everything was bad for the Cubs. They managed to get two hits and even score a run against the ace of the World Series Champion Chicago White Sox, Mark Buehrle. That is tough to do. Just ask the Cleveland Indians who have been two hit shutout by Buehrle twice in the last three years. The Cubs were a veritable offensive juggernaut on Friday.

As for the White Sox, Jim Thome hit a bomb while Paul Konerko and Joe Crede each had RBI doubles. Scottie Pods added to his stolen base lead, and Alex Cintron laid down some sweet bunts in batting practice, which was televised on Comcast Sportsnet. It was business as usual because the White Sox rule. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
