The White Sox have two pitchers warming up just in case, but Contreras gets Kennedy to ground back to the box for the first out of the inning.
Update: A lucky bounce for Figgins puts Chone at first. The ball hit the first base bag and bounded over Konerko.
Update: Not a good night for Pierzynski and the running game. The White Sox pitch out, but A.J. double clutches and Figgins steals the base easily.
Update: Uribe makes another great throw from the hole to get Cabrera and hold Figgins at second.
Update: Guillen comes out to talk to Contreras, and he’s leaving Jose in to pitch to Guerrero.
Update: Guerrero hits a shot, but Rowand catches at the wall in right center. A little less wind and we’d be saying Guillen left Contreras in one batter two long. Instead, he’s through eight innings, but in line for the loss.
Guererro has come up small this postseason.
Thought that one was gone off the bat. Chicago caught a bit of a break there.
There was a stiff breeze in from left as there always is when it’s cooler. Any fly ball will get knocked down. To hit it out to left, it will need to be a line drive like Crede’s home run. That does not bode well for the Sox. They’ll probably hit better in Anaheim.
