Jose V. is hot at the plate! We need some red-hot bats and he's pretty hot, ain't he?

Closer by committee is ok with me with Koch suffering.

I'll gladly take 2 of 3 also. Even though we blew the lead in game two, s*** happens. 2 of 3 every time means a pennant.

I also feel sorry for PK, don't hate him. He gave us some monster years. Hope he can fix the problem somehow.

We pretty much need a new ss, 2B and cf. The question is how do we rebuild in those 3 positions? Any ideas? I'd be all for bringing up minor leaguers to replace Jose, D'angelo and the stiffs who patrol center for us. I'd rather lose or be mediocre with new bodies.

Koch is such a disaster. Like you said, it's the Ritchie deal all over again. He is a joke.

I don't like Harris, D'Angelo or Rios. Do any of you? Koch is a disaster. KW makes me sick.

How could we not score?? Way to go Carlos. Make contact with the f***ing ball.

Let's face it, Jose is our best option at ss. Harris and Jiminez will never make anybody forget Guillen and Durham.

Good point Laura. I don't think we're negative all the time, though, and we're not fair weather fans. We are still here. We just want to either win or lose pretty, not lose like a bunch of rubes. As far as tonight, I am very impressed with Marte and Koch especially after their recent woes. And it's nice that the team won in Minnesota after blowing that lead to the Cubs Sunday. It gives us a glimmer of hope that we may possibly have some heart this year. I sure hope so.

How come none of you are jumping on my beltran bandwagon? And Jim ... I followed hockey in the old days also with Bobby Hull, Mikita, Dennis Hull, Pappin, Tony O, Gerry Desjardins, etc., but after leaving chicago for many years I can name no blackhawks. I was wondering if you still follow it or care anymore since the grand ol days of Hulls?

Nice job by Marte and Koch. As much as I wanted E-Lo to stay in out of fear we'd blow it, this can do nothing but help. We've got to have closers and they did get it done 1-2-3 in the ninth. That said, why can't we hit the ball? Is it all on Konerko being a stiff suddenly?

What happened? How did we win??

JM is really rolling the dice, but you got to have a closer, right? If Botch blows this one, we should release him.

Wow I'm proud of marte! Way to bounce back. Will Botch f*** it up?

Oh boy, he's coming off that disaster vs the Cubs

Way to move the runners up, guys. Way to score a run after a 1-out double. If Koch blows this game, it will be so sad. Is there any chance he could do the job and get em 1-2-3?? The Twins are ripe for the picking. Can we complete the deal??

This is scary. I want E-Lo to stay in the ninth, but mostly because I have no trust in Botch. I hate to see E-Lo give up a two-run dinger to lose it, but I'm on the record saying leave in E-Lo. What do you all say. We can second guess ourselves later. I do think Koch may blow the game. I say leave in E-Lo for the wrong reasons, the fact our closer scares the s*** out of me. At this point in time, I don't like our chances in this game. Comments?

Four prospects who suck for Beltran.

Amazing how many pitchers get hurt. Todd is done.

Uh oh, this is just like the Cub game the other day. Can our starter go all the way? If not will our relief blow it?? Wish we had scored more than a deuce thus far.

I thought of Todd, too. I'm glad we sent he and Royce to Milw, cause I haven't heard a word about either. how is Todd R. doing? Seemed like a nice enough guy in his postgame quotes, but oh he was so bad. He sucked.

How bout we suck it up, trade Colon for 5 prospects somewhere, then trade 3 of our prospects for Beltran and sign him. Oops we can't sign Beltran since he has ayatollah as his agent. I wouldn't mind keeping colon but I can't get what ncorgl said about him out of my mind. If Ncorg is right, Colon must be a cancer.

I'm worried about Minn. They swept us last time up there when it looked like we had momentum after sweeping the equally mediocre Orioles in some close exciting games. I hope we're still in the race at the all star break. I think I'd take .500 vs. the Twins at this point. If they win all the games, we're finished and it's fire sale time.

I'm not meaning this to sound mean but here goes. If Sandy is such a great clubhouse guy, then why would he let that Colon stuff go on? Ncorgl? comment, please. I feel sorry for Josh. Is he out of options? Can another team pick him up?
