Despite having what can rightfully be called a horrible season, the White Sox have something to celebrate: Jim Thome has hit career homerun 504. The Sox’s win today against the Minnesota twins has put them out of last place and ahead of the Kansas City Royals in the American League Central division. Along with Thome’s homerun, rookie Jerry Owens, went 5 for 6 at bats with 3 runs batted in. Every member of the team also reached base at point or another during the game. Javier Vasquez only gave up one run in the first 5 innings. Too bad all this came so late in the season because none of this means a thing for the ball club as we enter the last week of the regular season except for that the White Sox might not end up last place in their division and probably won’t finish with the worst record in the sport.
Meanwhile, the Cub’s win today against the Pittsburgh Pirates helped to boost confidence that they will be around in the post season. Soriano hit a homerun to right field in the second inning as well as another one in the 5th inning and hit a double in the 7th. They now have a 2 game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers who earlier in the season seemed unstoppable. The Cubs have seven games left to play and can hopefully keep of the competition for another week.
