If this was Paul Konerko’s final at-bat as a White Sox player at soggy U.S. Cellular Field, it’s safe to say he went out in grand style Sunday night.

Sox 5, Astros 3

After 46 years and an additional five days, the White Sox methodically scraped off layers of World Series rust Saturday night.

What Los Angeles Angels catcher Josh Paul described as “kind of a one-in-a-million shot” Wednesday night transformed the White Sox’s 17 innings of frustration into a zany combination of relief and excitement.

No. 3 hitter Jermaine Dye tried to generate some offense Tuesday night with a sixth-inning bunt attempt and catcher A.J. Pierzynski tried to steal second base in the seventh.
