Congratulations, White Sox

This White Sox offense is not a stranger to seeing HR milestones. Last year, White Sox DH Jim Thome hit his 500th HR. The only milestone HR to ever that was also a walk off, game winning homer.

Well today, versus Zach Miner and the Detroit Tigers, both Jermaine Dye and Paul Konerko hit their 300th HR. Both did it in the 2nd inning and were actually back to back home runs. The first time ever two players hit century mark homers in the same game, nevertheless, the first time it happened back to back.

While J.D. has been on a few team in his career (Royals, Athletics), Konerko has been a White Sox for life. And while Konerko (and Dye too) will probably not be in the team next year, as a White Sox fan, I would like to thank you both for all your service in a White Sox uniform and helping the team win a World Series in 2005.

Congratulations guys.

I like how the White Sox offense masks how bad it's defense is and how truly terrible Gavin Floyd is. He picks up a useless win with a line of 5 IP, 5 H, 2 HR, 7 BB, 2 K, 6 ER.

Boo!

Also, the cubs just drew their 19th walk in 2 games
