Answer Me This—

Why didn’t Grady Sizemore bunt in the bottom of the ninth, the White Sox down by a run, two runners on, nobody out and Nicky Lopez up? Letting Lopez swing away and fly out meekly to left was a move worthy of Mickey Mouse. Oh, well. Cubs 7 Sox 6. Maybe Mouse’s exit can be felt in more subtle ways, like Lopez and Gavin Sheets each collecting three hits on the night while Andrew Benintendi hit another two homeruns; that’s five in five games for Benintendi. Garrett Crochet gave up seven runs, but the bullpen actually managed 6.2 scoreless innings. And how nice to see Jerry Reinsdorf at the park. He must be proud.
