The White Sox will be well represented in this year’s
All Star Classic Tuesday night in Pittsburgh. Seven
players from the Southside of Chicago will be making
the trip to the Steel City for the game. The heart of
the Sox lineup will be there to provide power.
There isn’t a team in baseball with more power production
than Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, & Jermaine Dye. Jose
Contreras has won 17 straight regular season
decisions. Mark Buehrle is a proven winner and heads
the staff, despite a couple of rough outings when he
allowed seven first inning runs. BIG BAD Bobby Jenks
has been lights out for the Pale Hose as the closer.
And last, but not least is A.J. Pierzynski who was
internet elected by the fans. A perfect White Sox
promotion of PUNCH AJ landed him the last AL roster
spot. The White Sox are busy producing I PUNCHED AJ
tee shirts, rumor has it they’ll send one to Michael Barrett.
