That catch was a potential killer! Bad luck cause of the baggie. If that's off the wall ... wow.

Nice hit. I wish Thome would do that with two strikes more.

We need to beat these Twinks with Detroit getting hot again.

Jimmy whiffs.

I'm not a big Wise fan, though I didn't condone booing him early in the year. Wise is not good enough.

Found a hole. Nice job Gordon. First pitch!

Of course. Royko loved the Billy Goat and he was Mr. Cub.

Who will replace Johnny when he gets to about 105 pitches? Poreda or Carrasco?

Nobodys in the chat room.

I love Jermaine Dye. His all star snub is really disappointing.

A dinger here would be awesome.

wow 1-8 and we still won the division. Amazing.

Does anybody know the facts? Our record in this s*** dome the last 4-5 years?

Special K, not many teams have 5 good starters. It looked early on that Richard was going to be the surprise of the season. He was looking good. Now he's been horrible. There still are some guys we can trot out there. I vote Poreda or I guess Colon, but we better have our hitting shoes on when it's Colon. He's going to give up 4-6 runs in six innings every outing.

They finally mentioned the premium pricing for the dodger series, but didn't ask KW to comment on it.

Nobody with a brain would want Gobble. He is one of the worst pitchers to ever take the mound in Chicago.

I agree about the Metrodome thing. This year Ozzie should treat the series like the games in Wrigley. He ought to blast that f***ing building and just say, 'we'll take our chances.' Frick the piranhas thing. Crede is no piranha. He's more a typical White Sox. A slow home run hitter. Same with the M and M guys. They are bashers. They have some grinders, yes, but their starters are not invincible. They may sweep our ass, but that would truly be disappointing this time. We won games in KC and Cleveland we should be able to win some in Minnie. If they own us there again this season it's just never meant to be and we'll have to regroup when they move outside.

OMG. No thanks on Freddy.

Yeah I realize that. I edited my post while you were posting. I was further complaining that our trip to Minnie isn't exactly a killer. And I don't know where Cleveland is going but I assume back to Cleveland.

Ramblings ... We suck in day games, don't we? Why does baseball schedule these day games in the middle of the week after night games? I'd have loved the same scenario as the last two games. 7:11 p.m. Sox win! Who cares if its a travel day. Sox go to Minnesota. Whooo long trip. Isn't the life of big leaguers amazing? Clayton was so promising after 3 starts. He was great. Got positive press and acclaim. Now he looks like s***. I'm not knocking Beckham at all - I love the guy - amazing though how one severe 0hfer can dip his average to .245. Baseball is an unforgiving game. And Lexi. Those first six weeks he was just total crap. Now he's a god. It's why so many probably love this wacky game.

I voted Poreda as well. This scenario is what needs to happen unless Freddy is ready. How's he doing?

There's no way they can trot Clayton back out there after today's start. I am stunned he's been this bad of late, but no way a big league pitcher can get hit like he gets hit. He was on top of the world after those early starts, now he's worse than Jose was early in the season. We can't afford to give games away and we're pretty much giving away the game when Clayton starts. Bring on Poreda. It's his turn.

Exactly. You can acquire guys in free agency. It would be dumb to send 5-6 studs to them for Roy.

Don't forget, we've had a healthy dose of Cleveland/KC lately, though we did beat the Dodgers and Cubs. The Pods thing is sort of scary; he's been so comfortable and we'll be moving him soon. Keep BA around just in case. Pods' defense may be a horror story out in cf.

It's fun to watch Paulie bat when he's on fire. If we were coming offf our WS year, right now Paulie would be an all star as well as Dye, Mark, AJ and either Bobby or Thornton. As it is we get one guy. What a joke.
