Breather Over

The White Sox beat up on the Iowa Cubs last night at Wrigley Field. Tim Anderson, Eloy Jimenez and Andrew Vaughn all homered in a five-run first innings as the Sox won 9-3 to sweep the weekend series against a bunch pretend major leaguers. Dylan Cease struck out ten wannabes in five innings. That said, Cease also gave up three runs to the likes of Greg Deichmann (who he?) and Frank Schwindel (who he two?). But if they’re going to count the game, you may as well take the win, right? Now, it’s on to Minnesota. Even though the Twins have four fewer victories than the 52-61 North Siders, they’ll present a tougher challenge. Target Field is full of ghosts—Michael Cuddyer, Jason Kubel, Joe Mauer…I’m pretty sure those guys and other ex-Twins enter the bodies of current players to wreak havoc on the visitors from Chicago. Stay tuned.
