Ding Dong: Sox Turn Twinkies Into Cup Cakes
Well. It looks like the Chicago White Sox have finally learned how to hook piranhas. And, it looks like the law of averages may be catching up with the Minnesota Twins. It also looks like Ozzie Guillen isn't as crazy as people might think and that Greg Walker is back to being a genius.It's not just the fact that the Chicago White Sox have found their offense, it's the fact the it's back in a big way and being sustained for more than one game. Suddenly, Paul Konerko is hitting, Nick Swisher is hitting and Joe Crede has transformed himself into Babe Ruth.
All just a week after Ozzie got behind the wheel of a bus and drove it over his GM and hitting coach.
With the Twins sputtering, the Indians injured and the Tigers still on the outside looking in, these are halcyon days for the White Sox. If they can complete a sweep of the Twinkies this afternoon and then take two out of three from the Tigers, they will be in fairly good shape in the AL Central. That is, if the offense can keep it up.
Gavin Floyd had some problems in the first inning with his curveball, but corrected it as the game progressed. He continues to show maturity on the mound with each and every start and seems to have broken his habit of compounding his problems when he gets behind.
Paul Konerko was two for four as were Jermaine Dye, Nick Swisher (who also had four RBI) and Joe Crede. Alexi Ramirez, who has all but stolen the second base job from Juan (Wally Pipp) Uribe was three for four.
Makes you want to believe, doesn't it?
