Time to make sure everybody gets an at bat and let up so we don't score all our runs today. Nice job of hitting, White Sox! Jermaine baby!

Are you all worried about the resurgent Tigers?

That's the OC we thought we were getting.

OC needs to connect against Grabass.

I didn't see the play, but we're really a station to station team under KW.

At least Anderson looks like a big leaguer. He'll be OK once he's a regular somewhere.

Will our bullpen outpitch theirs and win us this game? We may be done scoring.

I can't argue with that. GO SOX.

You gotta love Mark B and Quentin. Also you got to love the nights we blast some home runs. When we hit home runs, we win.

Nice initial post. Congrats to Toby. Please keep it up. I wonder if he'll play against the lefty tomorrow again.

I would not be pleased to go 2-4 in the series. That would be lousy. 3-3 would be acceptable, though we'd lose ground to our red-hot Detroit rivals in doing so. I mean winning two of three at home and losing 2 of 3 at Wrigley is about the best we can hope for. 4-2 would be great. 5-1 awesome. We ain't gonna go 6-0. 0-6 would be a great big bummer and likely end our season.

Was it wise to bring up Wise?

I don't think making a statement matters much to the Sox. The team has a batch of veterans who probably remember last year's s*** pair of series vs. the Cubs. I think they've played enough games they are just games. Hopefully the weird Sox offense will compete.

Wow is right. I wish I could have seen this game on TV to make up for those 2-0 losses I seem to watch every time. Kudos to everybody. What hitting! Keep it up. But poor Carlos. Hope he feels good about his three walks, which he should. But still no hits from the slumping sensation.

I don't know bout that rangercal. It seems this year there's reason to have some concern about those hitters you mentioned. I don't think anybody's panicking. Those guys haven't produced for the most part. Dye's been pretty decent. I realize Swisher gets on base some, but his lack of hits has been disturbing. Thome and Konerko have been pretty lousy. Notice nobody's complaining about Carlos and AJP and Crede. Some of the big bats have sucked, hence the concern.

Detroit finally got beat. Good job Giants ... for once.

How bout Fields at second base and Alexei in center? Swish at first. Or just put Fields at first and see how bad he is over there? It doesn't take a star to play first, just ask Mark Teahan.

The Sox are in first place, which is good. Many of us long time Sox fans, however, are not excited at all. My question is ... are we too demanding on this team? Should we be elated at what's going on and our postseason chances? Or are we long-time, loyal Sox fans aware when we have a special team and when we do not, and we are correct in thinking this team is the worst first-place team imaginable? This team has had some really big flops in certain series. What is the verdict?? Should we be elated with our first-place White Sox and should we shut up about our horrid offense and streakiness??

If Carlos Quentin doesn't start getting two hits a night again and hitting gappers and homers, we are in deep s***. Five of six losses, lethargic play against the Rockies.

True, it might be a double sweep for the Flubs. I'm impressed they dusted 2 of 3 from the Jays when the Jays kicked our ass. Even though Paulie has sucked, the absence of his bat weakens us more.

We've lost five of six now, playing s***ty baseball again. I say it's Griffey time. Can he play first base?

This would be a nice time to get Fields' bat in the lineup, but that can't happen because Thome is a big blob and can't play first. Any scenario in which Fields could be called up? I have a feeling we've seen the last of Paulie for a while.

So true, Joe, so true. But amazingly we are 4 games in first place. Is Oz the coach of the century???? What you say is true. But we are in first.

It might be wise to bring up Fields and sit Thome against most all lefties. Rest Crede once a week. It might be wise to start playing Anderson more for Swish. If Fields was a jack of all trades he could also rest Paulie. We could play him a lot, but I don't think Fields is capable of hopping around from 3B to 1B to LF. Let's face it, we go as far as our veteran hitters and veteran starting pitchers take us. The big money guys will win us or lose us a pennant. Tonight they pretty much all were s***, including AJP cause of his inability to throw the ball.

Thome may "blow" but Paulie has been worse. It's a fact, jack.
