Sox sluggers going in different directions

"As the cheers get louder for Paul Konerko, the boos sound more deafening for Adam Dunn.

While Konerko extended his streak of hitting a home run to five games Tuesday night, a large majority of 35,155 fans expressed their growing disenchantment after Dunn struck out twice in his first two at-bats to increase his season total to 91.

Dunn has said in the past that he's familiar with the boos dating back to earlier in his career with the Reds.

But the expectations have been greater since Dunn joined the Sox this winter, and an 0-for-4 performance with two strikeouts dropped his batting average to .175.

And manager Ozzie Guillen suggested one way to cease the booing.

"If you don't want to be booed by the fans, do something better," Guillen said before the game.

"The fans don't want to boo the home run or the base hit with two outs. When you're struggling like that, we're in Chicago, the fans are pretty tough. They demand a lot, especially when the hype, the expectations were very high on him."
