Derrek Lee was the big star in game two of the first series of games between the cross-town rivals. Piniella said that Lee would not be available until Tuesday of next week. Then off the bench pops the secret weapon.
The question begs, which is more important to Chicago baseball teams and fans; The World Series or the Cross-town Series.
Yesterday was played like game seven of the World Series. The wounded star comes to the plate in a pressure situation and delivers the way you would expect him.
Pitching was not a strong point yesterday. Marquis kept the team in the game with both his arm and his bat. Michael Wuertz got to be a hero and erase some of the damage from the previous week.
We got an unimpressive peek at Carlos Marmol. Sure he set the side down in order, but pitches were flying everywhere.
The Sox have not looked great in this series, but they have not been mailing it in either. Joe Crede and Paul Konerko smacked home runs. There have been some great plays and some impressive pitching (at times).
The first two games have given fans everything they could hope for in a cross-town series. Today the Cubs go for the sweep. The Sox will not make it easy. It will be fun to watch.
