Solid Effort

You begin to wonder with the way Jose Contreras has come back from the dead and the way Scott Podsednik has performed since joining the team if Kenny Williams hasn't made a deal with Mr. Applegate.

Seriously...how could anybody have expected this?

Contreras was brilliant Wednesday night and the Sox generated offense without the home run in getting a solid, workmanlike win. They stay two games behind Detroit.

It's an afternoon game Thursday.

And now for something completely different...the recaps:

Mark Gonzales returns after a day off for the Chicago Tribune

and Jesse Temple is on board for Whitesox.com
