Nix is like a college player. He's going to kick two of every 10 grounders.

Guys, who is headed to the bench? Can he play second base?

So who gets benched? Not CQ. Not Dye. I guess Pods?? Cut Wise and it's a Pods/Rios platoon of some kind??

I said a .500 team. Nobody can argue with that. We are mediocre. I accept it. The team has teased us with some great great moments and wins; but we are just .500 this year.

.500 teams are not a lot of fun to be a fan of. They tease us. We just ain't that good. I doubt anybody will disagree with that. It could be a lot worse, I know. We could be the Royals and buried six weeks ago.

Oh no, not the Alexei to centerfield argument again. Not gonna happen. CQ does need to start being last year's pre-injury CQ or he's just another one year wonder.

head to head league; put me in our worst league. I'm not great at football. But sign me up in our lowest league.

And if he does I'll be fine with it. Best catch in white sox history and recently beat the Yankees with the hit. Go Wise!

Dye may have hit a funk in his season. That makes him no different from anybody else except maybe Paulie, whose been pretty consistent all year. Dye is a god.

Broadway. Thanks for the info. I wonder how he's been doing. He didn't thrill me like Clayton did. Today's loss is all on falling behind 5-0. I didn't see it. I assume John Danks had a s***ty day.

A mental off day? Well f*** them, then. Suck it up guys. AJ can't play every day. Our back up catcher can't hit. Thome, Konerko, Beckham, Getz, Dye, Pods, Nix all played today and we still lost.

Who did we give up to get Castro again? Isn't he pretty much an automatic out?

I assume we got the bad Dotel today. Not that it matters. We played great overall in the last seven games, but our record says we are pretty much a .500 team. On to Cleveland series. Got to win 2 of 3 to keep this thing rolling in the right direction. As bad as we are on occasion, the Twinks have been pretty darn horses*** this season. I'm still not convinced Detroit is that good, but they have a nice 3 game loss column advantage on us barring a rousing ninth inning rally.

Falling behind 5-0 at home is no recipe for a sweep. Lousy start today.

Why did Danks stink today? He and Mark both had rare bad outings.

As lousy as it is to lose, we just have to keep winning series. Pretty much every series. We'll be 3 back in the loss column v. Detroit unless we rally today. Got to take 2 of 3 vs. Cleveland.

Tying it up woulda been huge. Wish Nix coulda got his up in the air instead of whiffing. But can't blast a guy who already has a 3 run homer. Bad inning for the good guys.

Jimmy with a single? Nice job. Time to tie this up Paulie. No DP.

Are the Twins due for a long homestand. They suck so bad on the road. It'd be nice to tie this sucker up in the third and start anew today.

Great job Thunderbolt! You did call it. I fear a couple others have jinxed us for tomorrow however. Saying we'll hit the 7.00 ERA Santana. In a reverse jinx, I'll say Santana will mow down our lineup like Al Capone's game mowed down so many back in the day. Go Sox! Nice to see Thome rap two homers tonight. And Pauley. What a year he's having. So far so good. Unfortunately if we want to win this division, we're going to have to keep on rolling. There's no margin for error. Really very little with the monster road trip looming at the end of the month and no guarantees on the West coast swing.

No doubt that second bomb was huge tonight. And the first was dandy as well. Love it when Jimmy is connecting and getting it up in the sky instead of the shift.

I hate statements like this. He's having an unbelievable season. Can't we just enjoy it? Pods will give us a huge discount. Nobody is going to pay big bucks for him, considering he hasn't played great anywhere but Chicago in the past few seasons. Plus we have Danks to come up if Scotty sucks, right? We can get him cheap. I wouldn't worry about it now if I was Kenny. Pods is going nowhere. Who is going to offer him much more than we will? We are in the driver's seat on Pods. He was washed up in the eyes of baseball before he returned to the South Side. Pods to start the year with Danks ready to come up?

Nice job Thome, Gavin. Excellent win again! Have you noticed Cleveland is playing pretty well? Hope we can keep it up. Can we sweep Cali? That would be awesome heading into the Tribe series.

Oz has to leave Beckham. Thank goodness we won tonight. Even Oz is probably superstitious. Hopefully Alexei will excel at 7 or 8. Go Sox!

101 pitches; do you let him come out and leave only if one guy gets on base? Don't want to let it implode on him? Or let him finish regardless?
