2008 State of the Sox

June 22: Cubs 7, White Sox 1

If you watched the first inning of this one, that's about all you need to get the idea of this game.

Top of the first: Two singles in three at-bats, followed by Jermaine Dye smashing a high splitter into the ground somehow for a 4-6-3 double play.

Bottom of the first:  Javier Vazquez throwing the first eight pitches out of the zone, followed by Derrek Lee executing a hit-and-run to score one, with Orlando Cabrera dropping the throw back into the infield to allow another run to cross the plate.

The Sox grounded into more double plays, the Cubs went back-to-back for the third straight game at one point, and that's about all there is to this one.  Writing any more about it would be the equivalent of cutting.

Record: 41-34 | Box score | Play-by-play
