Cubs Versus Sox, Game Three

I can't stand to watch any more of this. The players have to stay and watch, but they get paid for it and I don't.

The Sox did everything they could to help the Cubs in the bottom of the sixth. With two out, Alfonso Soriano hit a triple to the sweet spot in far right field.

A White Sox pitching change brought Andrew Sisco to the mound. He then contributed two wild pitches and a walk before the White Sox CEO replaced him with Mike MacDougal.

MacDougal apparently likes to pitch, which he proceeded to do so. He induced Michael Barrett to ground out, ending the inning.

For all that effort, the Cubs scored one run. The score: Sox 3, Cubs 2. The Cubs were still in the game.

Or so it seemed.

In the top of the seventh, Carlos Zambrano got tired and forgot how to pitch.

The Cubs Board of Directors called on Neal Cotts to replace Zambrano, and A. J. Pierzynski promptly hit a grand slam.

That's when I clicked the button on WGN. I later turned it back on briefly, and learned that the Cubs had scored four more runs in the eighth.

Not good enough. I can't stand to watch the last inning.
