Watch Adkins will give up 4 runs and the Sox will end up losing this game 8-7.......dammit why can't we hit scot shields?!!! CWSOX45 His ERA was below 3 before this game, so it's not like everyone else was hitting him. He had a 3.91 E.R.A. as a starter, as a reliever he's great. But come on. Even Cleveland scored three runs off this guy in seven innings. We have two hits. CWSOX45 Virtually every Cleveland player at every position cares more about the game then the Sox players do, so that will be the result. Exception would be Everett.

I'm sure they are just scared to death, just s***ting their pants lol.

When the f*** else is he going to bring in Adkins. This is as good a time as any! That's why. 5-0 halos. So instead he should pitch when we're losing 10-0. Jerry has to get him in eventually. If he sucks its his fault not JM's. :finger

I assume that this is Jon Adkin's major league debut?

Old roman gets bashed if he says the Sox are going to lose and they win so I think it's only fair to say nice pick on Garland getting the victory.

Yah that's a pretty lame excuse. THese guys are being paid millions and they are going to play s***ty today because they are worried about a late night. Poo Poo!

Problem is, that for guys like Olivo and Valentin they have about the same probability to lay down a successful sab-bunt as they do at getting a single. Valentin sucks at getting the bunts down because he's just worried about how many homers he cant hit. Olivo gets the benefit of a doubt, but I think he's just too excited in the batters box.

1 pitch 1 out for Jon G.

Is it just me or are Thomas's numbers really not that much better than last year's? He was great for the first half but he's totally fallen off after the break. Come on Frank. I don't want to hear people calling you the big skirt again. -As I type this he doubles, coincidence

Remember you optimism is a complete curse cwsox.

Our minor league closers aren't really set guys, it's usually closer by committee. Charlotte Munoz/Ginter/Sanders Birmingham Bajenaru/Bullard Winston-Salem Fields/Hummel/Castro Kannapolis Larson (although they don't win very often )

I probably have way too much experience with this type of thing. I'd always choose feet.

Well the Royals are hitting against Jeff Weaver who has been terrible this year, I wouldn't be surprised if the Royals could hang on to tonight's victory.

I don't think Appier is nearly as bad as everyone thinks he is.

Tribe 0 Twins 0 after 3 Davis vs. Santana Royals 3 Yanks 0 top of 2 Appier vs. Weaver Twins really need tonight's game, especially with one of their best pitchers out there in Santana

On a serious note Castillo has played at A, AA and AAA this year in the Sox organization. HIs latest move was to AA from A after Cotts was called up to the show.

We are bringing up Adkins.

In a post game interview Manuel said that Cotts will be given one more chance to start. from chisox.com http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...recap&fext=.jsp

Here I found a link from mlb.com. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=mlb

The link to the story on chisox.com is empty, but it says he had soreness in his right elbow. Probably just a lame excuse to put him on the DL. I wonder what role Adkins will play.
