Let's blow this place up with some payback for last night's ass kicking.

Please light it up

Danks is gonna do his best Luke skywalker tonight.

Sox win tonight, 8-2 and go on to play .800 ball for the rest of the season. Will it be enough to matter? Who knows--but it will be fun.

Death Star?

Awesome....we get to see the Richar/Gonzalez platoon go into effect tonight.

AJ P = Han
Thome = chewbacca

Owens CF
Fields 3B
Thome DH
Konerko 1B
Pierzynski C
Dye RF
Pods LF
Uribe SS
Gonzalez 2B

"Thats cause a droid dont rip peoples arms off when they lose."

"I suggest a new stradegy, let the Wookie win."

Richar not in the lineup and Fields batting 2nd is just stupid. But then again, keeping s*** players and trading the solid ones is stupid too.

He just needed some time off. Those 2 games over the weekend really took a lot out of him.

WGN tonite. I'll be watching

Goddamn, Erstad sure loves America.

?

That pic is amazing. I see Jesus.

COME ON GUYS

Our 1-2-3 goes 1-2-3...nothin' new there

Between ducksnorts and umps missing pitches, its amazing the Sox ever win a game.

Pods RBI triple, Sox up 1-0.

Shut em down Danks. That's all you get.

Guess that means we lose.

What the heck, you invite people then you arent there? Bad form

That's a great pitch. Danks is definitely a lot better when he works off of his fastball -- it's only a 90 MPH pitch, but when he locates it it's tough to hit.

looks like the pen is going to get torched again tonight

I've seen people say they don't see with Andy Gonzalez is up here...and he did just strike out...but he had a .223 batting average coming into the at-bat, but has a .336 OBP to go with it. The man's got some plate discipline.

Ump's Strike 3 call on Jeter was Naked Gun-esque!

Good to see that I was right on this. Richar will get the "Anderson" platoon treatment. Oh, the pitcher throws lefty, and Richar is lefty. We must bench him tonight, and play my toy, I mean my number one guy off the bench Andy Gonzales.

Go team

Couple of comments:

- It was dumb to move Fields up to the #2 spot just when he was getting comfortable at the plate. There's nothing about his game that leads you to believe he'd be good in that 2 spot, and he hasn't looked good at the plate in the few games since.

- .19 ERA is all that is keeping me from saying KW had a horrible offseason.

????

Danks/McCarthy ERA difference?

They probably looked at that Josh sees a lot of pitches, and thought number 2 hitter. That isnt the case. They should of left him back in the order, allowed him to hit freely and learn. They should of moved Prancer or Toy down to number 2.

I'm glad to see him moved into the 2-hole to give him a shot. We just traded away the guy who's been hitting 2nd for the last couple of years and now we need to find another. What's to lose giving Josh a shot? He handles the lumber pretty good. If he doesn't excel then you move him down. That is, if he can recover from the damage this temporary move might inflict.

Lefties are hitting .310 against Pettite, Make sure we put Toy in at 2nd.

DJ is fluffing the art of hitting.

Hawk just said all 4 of our hits are by lefties, too. Guillen is a dope.

Mine as well walk him. Uribe is up next.

This is baseball strategy. You have a guy who features a plus cutter. You keep people of the same hand in against him. Against Mariano, a lefty gets sawed off. A righty has a better chance. Against Buerhle, lefties have a better chance than righties because of the cutter.


Ozzie is appendage aware though.

S.O.B.

Yep. And the sad part is that we know this, and Guillen hopefully knows, yet he doesn't do it. I don't know

How many hits can Danks allow with 2 strikes tonight?

Farmer and Singleton made a few comments about Fields glove. Saying its oversized like a OF's glove. Hopefully if the announcers are making comments about it, He can switch to a smaller glove like an infielder should have.

Just got rocked by some dude named Shelby.

We rock hardcore.

Man this is getting really F-in old

let's blow, blow, blow white sox....

Better question: how many home runs can we give up?

"Boy these Yankees are hot"

Gimme a f***ing break DJ, we are a s*** team, plain and simple.

This is men against boys out there. We might want to watch how many innings Danks throws the rest of the way.
