The Big Three
What a win for the Sox last night and again, another great performance by that great middle three we have in our lineup.
Paul Konerko did the unthinkable - taking Mariano Rivera deep in the 9th inning, then telling us after the game how much Greg Walker has helped him learn to hit the ball to right-center. A tremendous home run in a tremendously important game for Paulie.
Jermaine Dye came through in the 11th as he has all season, doing a great job of shortening his swing with 2 strikes. Don't forget that Jim Thome drew the big walk that put Iguchi into scoring position in that inning. This "dream team" has continually come through in the clutch all season.

While Jim Thome is having an MVP season I think the Sox miss Aaron Rowand. He seemed to do a lot of little things to win games. Thome does the big things and thats great,but Rowand seemed to add a certain spark for the team as well as a great glove in centerfield. I think the Sox will gain at least a wild card berth and have a great shot at it all again. Although i am a Cubs fan I am from Chicago and saw many a Sox game as a kid and still have a bat day bat that says go go Sox on it somewhere. It was great to see Chicago celebrate baseball again! Good luck Hawk.

Please stop with the "you can put it on the board...YES, after a sox HR. The YES sounds like a husband and wife having a simultaneous orgasm. Hopefully you two aren't..
