Getting It Going
It was good to see the Sox get it going on a lot of different fronts last night. How about Paul Konerko? One pitch after Joe Mays woke him up with one under the chin, Paulie drilled it out to left. That was his first home run against Mays and his fourth in the last four games.
Then you had Jose Contreras dealing. He was coming from so many different arm angles I thought he might get wild, but he was able to keep his release point consistent.
Finally, we saw Brian Anderson make a great diving catch coming in on the dead run from center field. The most difficult play for a center fielder is coming straight in and having to dive, but he got off to the side just enough to keep his elbow from hitting and shaking the ball out of his mitt. If you're not getting any hits, then take some away.

I have to admit that I was getting really worried about Anderson. I loved Aaron and was sad to see him go. Brian maybe needs some practice against our starting pitchers so that he can really feel what its like to have an at bat against amazing pitchers and build his confidence. At this stage they shouldn't have to baby him but the guy needs practice. Not every at bat can be perfect but come on Brian! Hit the ball! Leave no man stranded

Hey Darrin,
It's Bianca. I just happened to hear one of my staff memebers listening to your game that's going on right now and I thought of you. Hopefully you'll have the opportunity to e-mail back and let me know how you and the family are fairing.
It's good to see that you're doing so well.
I really hope to hear from you soon.

It was very smart of Kenny Williams to pick up Paul Konerko in the offseason. Go Sox. Win or Die trying. Love Hawk and DJ watch them every time WGN plays a sox game.
