White Sox shutout Tigers


There's a big three game series this weekend on Chicago's South Side. The World Series champion (I love typing that) Chicago White Sox are hosting the AL Central leading Detroit Tigers. Even while just watching the game on TV, I could feel the electricity from the game.

The White Sox defeated Detroit 5-0. The final out was dished up by Magglio Ordóñez, who left the Sox for the Tigers as a free agent two years ago in a parting that was anything but amicable.

Sox starter Jose Contreras, picture courtesy of AP, threw a three-hitter.

The South Siders now trail the Tigers by 7 1/2 games. In the wild card race, they lead the Minnesota Twins by 1 1/2 games.
