fathom Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) Adam Dunn with another day off. Not like it matters, he wouldn't hit a lefty anyways (.143 OPS this year, no hits). Edited May 1, 2011 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) Heard on espn that only one team has been 8 games back at the end of April and gone on to win the division. It would be pretty awful if the mighty Baltimore Orioles took this series. I guess I'd be ok with a split only because it would be a positive trend. Oak/LAA/TB/Det- L NYY/Bal - split? I'll take it at this point. Edited May 1, 2011 by Swingandalongonetoleft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) Pretty excited to see Britton for the first time. Great sinker, plus slider, decent changeup. Edited May 1, 2011 by DirtySox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Nice to see Floyd pitch out of the inning without any damage. I just expect the worst, and with this team, I'm usually right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPickle Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Britton's K/BB ratio was pretty terrible coming into today so maybe the Sox will be patient today and draw a few more walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) Let's see if the head case pale hose realize it's may and the bad April evil voodoo is over. 9 games out. According to baseball tonight only the 87 tigers have come back to win the division down 9 or more at this point. Of course they didn't get the memo that we went 25-5 in inter league.

Let's gloss over the pile of s*** that is our offense. Yeah, they were talking about that yesterday...how we have given up 43 runs or something in the 7/8/9 innings in 28 games.

caulfield12 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Well, the 1983 White Sox were 16-24 and 7 games back on May 26th. That was their low point. Of course, citing examples that happen once every 20-30 years (or 2006 Cardinals, 05 Astros, Rockies, etc.) doesn't instill too much confidence.
