I still say BA is an improving player. Another bomb tonight from him? Nice win.

Mark had been pitchin so well. Wonder what happened?

So true. Dump him. As far as showcasing him by playing him, that's stupid. Teams don't know what Uribe can do or can't do by now??

Paulie and Thome are big-time players. They both need to play and both need to have great second halves if we are going to make the playoffs.

Twins won't go away. Not that it matters in early July.

It seems like we always lose at least two in a row after a win streak. Haven't studied the stats, maybe I'm mistaken. It just seems that way to me. Yuk. No fireworks from the Sox on the 4th. Need to slop out two wins and split this series against a mediocre team. Many teams beat Blanton; we surprisingly struggle tonight.

Oh well, at least we agree we want a win in these uniforms.

I don't know why you would say that. Without these guys and women you would not be grilling hotdogs on your patio today, you'd be worshiping some dictator and having one child maximum per family. You wouldn't be rooting for the White Sox, you'd be rooting for the Reds.

Good point, Al. But nobody can deny they are pesky.

If it offends people they should get over it. Military people like being recognized. I'm sure they love it. It will be done in good taste, you know that. Political correctness and the coddling of our youth and putting them all on ridalin (sp) and drugs like that are some of the reasons this world is starting to suck. p.s. How many of you young people had freedom as kids as we did? Get up every day in summer age 9-12, gather up friends, ride bikes somewhere to play ball all day with no adult supervision. Maybe go home for lunch. In winter after school gather friends go play basketball or hockey no adult supervision. Uh nobody was kidnapped. Nobody died. Now coddling, Ridalin, etc. GO SOX!!

Good point whitesoxfan. As good as our record is, our losses seem so disheartening at times this year. Crazy season.

We are a home run hitting team. Paulie hits home runs. We want him back.

Does everybody in college wear their hair like that nowadays? Interesting.

Hurts to lose on a four-hitter by Javy. Oh well. Hope he keeps his head up and realizes it's one of those things. Can't win 'em all. Gotta come back and beat that hack they are pitching tomorrow.

I kind of like him in the limited games I see. As long as he has a job in some capacity, radio or TV I'd think he'd be happy. Money is money.

Yes we want him back. This winning without him should fire him up as well. It still sounds like he's a ways away from tonight's game reports. It sounds like he is at least a week away if he has to do a minor league rehab. Let's keep winning w/out him then welcome him back as he hits some immediate bombs. From the AP story: White Sox 1B Paul Konerko reiterated his strained left oblique felt better after taking batting practice for the second straight day but was not sure when he would start a minor league rehab assignment. “I don’t think it’s all my decision on when I’ll go,” he said. “I think it’ll be my decision on when I come back because I’m the only one that’s going to know exactly how it feels in the game.” Konerko said the oblique started to flare up after about 20 swings, just as it did on Tuesday, but he shrugged that off as “that last little bit of scar tissue you have to break through.” ... Ozuna started at third for Joe Crede, who insisted his surgically repaired back is fine and that he just had a day off.

OM Gosh. AJ with the bomb. It can't get any better than this the past couple nights. Was Hawk beside himself with a great call??

What do you guys think of how streaky the Sox are? Either we are worldbeaters like we are again or we are in the tank. I hope when we do lose (I hope it's after we rattle off 15 in a row) we somehow gain consistency. Maybe that's impossible with this team. I'll take first place either way.

Should be interesting. I think we'll get hosed and only have two. I'll go with Carlos and AJ. Just have a feeling. Dye might make it as well. I'll say two of those three are in.

There's no reason to hope for a rainout. If CC beats us, good for him. Like somebody said, a funky DH date late in the season could screw us just as much. What if we lost 2 then? It's a marathon season; bring on CC even if he one-hits us.

Any link to Lexi's homer off anywhere?? Thanx.

That's a great way of putting it. My apologies to the internet gods for hating on OC and Swish for a long time. Always had faith in Mark.

Wish I could have heard it. Wise and OC and all the others you mentioned. Fantastic stuff. Congrats to KW.

OMG, no matter what happens this season that win will be special. OC has done very well of late, but now he is a true member of the White Sox. Wow. I mean he has to feel good after being a true hero. Alexei?? This guy needs a nickname if he doesn't already have one. He is amazing. Danks?? Wow. Now we're on a wild win streak again. Keep it up Sox and when you finally do lose, remember you have a helluva team and no more slumps. Go SOXX!
