6-20 Sox Rock the Cards
====The St. Louis Cardinals are playing like a AA team tonight giving up 9 runs in the 3rd inning. St. louis brought in Brad Thompson to try and stop the 9 run drive, but the Chicago White Sox seemed unstopable and were loading the bases up getting another 2 runs from a base hit by Paul Konerko. The entire Sox lineup got a hit in the third inning. Here's a recap of that slaught pulled from gameday and further coverage from the game:====
~Cardinals starter Mark Mulder lasted only two 1/3 innings, allowing nine runs in what turned out to be an 11-run third inning for the Sox. Chicago batted around and, for the first time since 2003, had seven consecutive hits in an inning. Every White Sox starter had a hit, including home runs by A.J. Pierzynski and Joe Crede.
I got to give player of the game to Joe Crede with 2 HR and 3 RBI tonight going 4-5.
Funny fact though: Score 6-20 Game Date 6/20. ~

6th Inning Crap Shoot
Bottom of the 6th inning started getting interesting again. Loaded bases, two batters hit by a pitch back to back bringing in a run each. Sidney Ponson was removed by LaRussa bringing in Tyler Johnson. Big controversy now is going to be whether the pitches were intentional or not. Ponson has a reputation of being hot headed off the ball field. La Russa was ready to blow a gasket. Both benches were warned.
The 6th inning rally brought in 6 more runs and here they are. I highlighted the hit by pitch playes:
Bottom 6TH B:0 S:1 O:0
