the bears striking on their first drive. cutler getting them in field goal range for robbie gold and it was 3-nothing... the bears defense also had a good start... tim jennings with a pick off... and that set up a swing pass to matt forte for a 32 yard td... and then michael bush scored on a td run... the bears in charge in the 2nd quarter, 17-0...... the white sox are back home after a 6 and one road trip... they took a 6 game win streak into the action against the rangers... who now feature alex rios and aj pierzynski... they were facing chris sale on a rare off... for the sox lefthander... the legandary paul simon in the house on elvis night... i'm pretty sure paul was a big fan of the king... for sale tonight.. it was heartbreak hotel... he gave up 4 homers.. this one to chicagoan adam rosales.. the sox trailed 4-nothing in the 2nd when they staged a rally... dayan viciedo with a shot down the line.... this would drive in a pair... and it was a 4-3 game setting the stage for a bizaare play... in the third... ian kinsler got a ball down the line that gets caught at the bottom of the tarp... stuck in there...... viciedo cannot find it but tries to play it... it should have been a ground rule
9:53 pm
double but the umpire at third base choked... and kinsler got the inside the park homer... texas leads 10-4 in the 9th... before the game aj and alex talked about their return to chicago. sot i have nothing but great feelings for the fans and the organization. i'm miss the city, the people and the energy but i am happy in dallas and arlington and it was a fun ride. being on the other side is a little weird but for myself it is a good thing. it is something i never experienced before, and it has been great so far. the cubs just underway in san diego and they have begun the game wiht a bang... they already led 1-nothing in the first when nate shierholtz rips one off edinson volquez... a
9:54 pm
three run shot... his third homer of the week... the cubs lead 6-nothing in the 2nd... an historic night for the chicago sky...they took on the new york liberty needing a win to make the playoffs for the first time...and they got it...ellena della don the jumper...and he also gets fouled....the sky goes on to celebrate their first post season in franchise history...they beat new york....82-64... the chicago fire battling sporting kc....in bridgeview....it was scoreless in the first half when mike mcagee makes a nice play to set up a goal...he keeps the cross field kick in play and gives hunter jumper...yes thats his name...hunter jumper...a chance tyo score to make it one zip...thats how it stands late in the game. tiger woods and rory mcelroy are five shots back at the barclay. play suspended by rain in the middle of the 2nd round, not befoe matt kcuhar grabbed the lead and he did so with a great birdie putt. he barely taps it down hill but it was the perfect touch. in the cup. kuchar at ten under, good for a one-shot lead. blackhawks training camp is now less than a month away, but if you go out to arlington park tomorrow, you can root for jonathan taves. not the hawks player but the horse. a horse
9:55 pm
owner who is a blackhawks fans named one his horses 'taves.' he will run tomorrow and he named another horse kaner. so if you're at arlington tomorrow, it would be hard not to slap some money on one or both of the those horses. you know what happened earlier this year and the coach was out here with the cop. is their rate, then working here? do you believe it? i hope so. you never know. you still have to run the race. i like this little horse saturday. i think he is ok. he is quick away from the gate and he is ok. a nice horse. that's the news for this friday night. we're happy you shared time with us. i'm micah materre. i'm mark suppelsa. updates on wgntv.com. for all of us here, have a good night.
