Is this game really starting in one minute? I don't see it on MLB.TV (I am out of the area) and whitesox.com is telling me the game is starting in an hour
Check ESPN

It's his fault because he blew the whistle and killed it. Easy thing to do there was let it play out.
Hoculi wasn't the ref that blew the play dead.

Ed Hoculi. Normally good, that time awful.
I don't think he was the back judge. In his explanation, he said it should of been ruled a fumble. Yes, that was awful.

Thornton better get his fastball higher in the zone than what he was doing against the Blue Jays. Granderson is a great low ball hitter.
Good call.

Wow, that sure looked like strike 3 to Ryan. You hate walking him after being up 0-2 in the count.
Looked good to me.
Alright, Matt. Now is a good time to stop sucking.

Vazquez got his 2000 k today. Big deal for todays pitchers?
It seems every big even number is a big deal to someone. 100, 500, etc...
I like that it seemed like he didn't care and is taking care of business.

I guess he hadn't started his left foot towards the plate. That was kind of lucky by Verlander to catch himself in time. Cabrera had that base stolen by 10 feet.
My guess is that if a pitcher tries to catch himself and throw the runner out, he balks 50% of the time.
It didn't look like he took his back foot off the rubber when he threw it. That is what got me.

Swisher just overmatched in his at bat. Does he ever try to just get a single instead of always swinging out of his ass?
Swish, like OC, has a better swing when he tries to go the other way.
Juany!

How do you gauge if the hitters are jazzed up ? Do hits equal jazzy ?
It is always funny to me when people say a team or player doesn't look into things. How are they suppose to look? I love the press conference with Bobby Knight explaining he has no clue what a game face is.
