South Side Slugfest

I was going to wait until this game was over before commenting, but it's a wild one in Chicago tonight. The Indians had an 8-0 lead. The White Sox scored 7 in the bottom of the 6th. Cleveland extended their lead to 9-7, and the Sox scored a solo run in the 8th. With the socre 9-8, the Indians loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the 9th, and ended up scoring four runs to make the score 13-8. There's now 1 out in the bottom of the 9th, and the Sox have already scored 3 runs to make it 13-11. They have a man on 2nd and Everett at the plate.

Update: Everett flies out to center. Tying run at the plate in Jose Valentin, who has two HR in the game already.

Update: Valentin pops out to 2nd to end the game. A big win for Cleveland. They take three out of four to take 2nd place in the AL Central. With the Twins losing three out of four and the Rangers getting swept, the Indians gain on three of the teams they are chasing. They're in the hunt for the division and the wild card; they need to find some pitching.

...and Jake Westbrook gets the Win after giving up 6 runs in 5 1/3 innings. Kinda Wakefield-esque, and some consolation for my fantasy team.
