Sox Win Game and Series with 11-0 Thrashing of the Tigers (Game 11, '08)



If only every game could be this easy, right?  The White Sox took the Tigers out of this one early with 5 RBI by Paul Konerko within the first three innings with an RBI single and a grand slam.  As it turned out, Paulie's RBI single is all the White Sox would need, since the Tigers were shut out by Javier Vazquez and the Sox bullpen.  But for good measure, Joe Crede added a grand slam of his own, making decisions as to what to do with Crede in his contract year a little harder, or easier, depending on one's point of view.  I for one would like to see the White Sox try to keep Crede.  He is a home-grown guy, and has come into his own.  He is a World Series hero, and already enshrined in sclupture in front of US Cellular Field, like Paul Konerko of the '05 squad, and brings intangibles as well as fantastic baseball skills to this ballclub.  In my opinion, he is a franchise guy like Paulie, and regardless of his agent situation, this is a guy I think the White Sox should make a priotity to keep.  Of course, it is always easy to spend other people's money. Just my humble opinion.
