Despite four home runs by the White Sox, including two from Jim Thome and a grand slam from Alexei Ramirez, the Sox lost to the Brewers 12-10 in an offensive-dominated game.  Gavin Floyd started the game for the Sox and had a very interesting day on the mound to say the least.  He pitched five innings and gave up nine hits, six earned runs, zero walks and struck out seven.  The Sox had four errors defensively that proved to be the difference maker and allowed the Brewers to rally and take the win.  Eight different players for Chicago recorded a hit and surprisingly they only had one strike out the entire game.  Without the errors the Sox would have surely won this game with ease.  On another note, Juan Uribe was announced as the opening day starting second basemen, leaving Alexei Ramirez looking for a starting position.  Ramirez’s best bet is in center field since Jerry Owens is probably going to start the game on the injured list.  The South Side Sluggers take on Arizona tomorrow in one of their last three games before the regular season starts against Cleveland on March 31st.
