8-17-2009 White Sox vs. Royals

For half price Monday, some friends and I decided to go to a game as a group for the second time this season. It was also the second time rain delayed the start of the game, this one lasting for an hour. It would rain a couple times during play, but it was played through. Coming into this game, Mark Buehrle had 4 No Decisions since his Perfect Game and was looking for a W against the Royals while facing Brian Bannister.
1: In the 2nd with two outs, after a close play at second went for a double and the first hit of the game for the Royals, Maier scores in Mark Teahen with a single.
2: Yunieski Betancourt rounds the bases after hitting a 2 Run homer on the next at bat. Royals lead 3-0.
3: With a man on, Alex Rios hits a ball to short to go for the 6-4-3 double play (As seen on Sportscenter's Top Ten (Number 6)).
4: In the next at bat, Alexei Ramirez bloops a ball into right for a base hit.
5: Jayson Nix homers to put the Sox within one.
6: With the bases loaded in the 4th, Mark Buehrle gets a comebacker and turns the 1-2-3 double play.
7: In the Sox half of the 4th, Ramirez reached base on a fielder's choice, retiring Rios on his way to third. Scott Podsednik comes through with the RBI double to tie the game.
8: A single by Billy Butler in the 5th scores in Bloomquist and gives the Royals a 4-3 lead.
9: A.J. Pierzynski hits it to Callaspo who turns a fancy double play.
10: With Carlos Quentin on base after he was hit by a pitch, Rios delivers a single that is misplayed by Teahen, allowing CQ to score and Rios to reach third.
11: Alexei would hit a sac fly to score in Rios giving the Sox a 5-4 lead in the 6th.
12: Matt Thornton came on to pitch the 7th inning and went 1-2-3, here retiring Anderson for the first out. This is also the 4257th video taken on my camera, giving me more videos than Pete Rose has hits.
13: To the bottom of the 7th. After a walk to Jermaine Dye, A.J. delivers the homerun in the rain to give the Sox a 7-4 lead.
14: Thornton had already warmed up for the 8th, but Ozzie Guillen decided to put Scott Linebrink in, who would get two outs, but walk two batters and then gave up this game tying homerun to replacement Jacobs.
15: In the bottom of the 8th and after a walk to Rios and sac bunt by Ramirez, Scotty Pods comes through again with the go ahead RBI single.
16: Big Bobby Jenks enters in the 9th to get Bloomquist to ground out.
17: A nice play by Brent Lillibridge retires Pena four out number two.
18: Butler grounds to Alexei to put this game away as the tarp goes on the field.
Final Score: 8-7 Chi Sox
