"Two outs here in the top of the first of the American League Division Series, and stepping into the batter's box for the visiting White Sox is the cleanup hitter, right-handed hitting center fielder Vernon Wells, who batted .282 with 27 home runs and 98 runs batted in the regular season. Wells batted just .247 with the Pale Hose after joining them in early July, but he did blast 16 long balls in his three months with the club. The big right-hander Nageotte is staring in to his catcher Hammock. Clint's settled into his stretch position, and he's centered himself almost perfectly on the mound. The perfect location to ignore Magglio Ordonez at first, he seems to be thinking, paying no mind to the Pale Hose baserunner as he kicks and fires a devil of a changeup, right on the outer half of the plate for a called strike. Wells steps out briefly and takes a quick, easy half-swing at the air. Now he moves back in, and again Nageotte's ready to go quickly. Here's his oh-one offering...fastball, off the plate, Wells takes a hack anyway and somehow loops one up and over the right side of the infield...and into right-center for a base hit. Ordonez is around second and heading for third, Nic Jackson's going to come up firing...his throw is up the line and Ordonez is in their safely, and now Mientkiewicz fires down to second...not in time to get a hustling Wells! Ozzie Guillen is gleeful on the bench, folks. A bloop single with a man on first and two outs gives the Pale Hose runners at second and third for the longball threat, Eric Munson."

Might be a good time to mention that three days ago and one day before the regular season, I inked Wells to a three-year, twenty-million dollar extension (seven million per year). Podsednik may not be the jolt we expected, but that trade for Wells was inspired (not to mention dumb luck). I'd expand, but Eric Munson's digging in.
