Royals starter Zack Greinke also earned an early exit when he tried to get revenge in the seventh by hitting Nick Swisher, but by then the score was 12-2, and not even this could motivate the White Sox to score more than one run. Griffey started at DH, and went 1-2 before being pulled when the game was out of reach; Swisher went 1-3 and Konerko, 0-4. Only AJ Pierzynski collected more than one hit, including an eighth inning solo shot.

Olivo took umbrage, charged the hill, and earned an ejection for himself, while manager Ozzie Guillen and Carrasco were also tossed.

al styles, with laid-back Joe Torre of the Dodgers going up against the controversial and mercurial Ozzie Guillen of the White Sox. Both managers have won World Series, but on this night it seemed that Torre could do no right. His lineup against the left-handed Buehrle included the right-handed Young and LaRoche instead of Andre Ethier and Blake DeWitt, and while Young did hit the homer, it seemed that the lineup made little difference. Torre also left Lowe out on the mound an inning too long; right after the jumbotron flashed “Lowe has retired 12 of the last 13 batters” the wheels came off. And bringing in Cory Wade, who allowed an RBI hits to DeWayne Wise and Alexei Ramirez, certainly didn’t help Torre any.

Really, it’s a wonder they didn’t lose more. This past off season, Ozzie Guillen and the front office cited a lack of energy as the reason for the dismal season. Operating on that belief, they went out and acquired the hyper active Orlando Cabrera and boisterous, fun-loving Nick Swisher via trades with Anaheim and Oakland, hoping they will re-energize the team.
