A must-win for Sox. Nice to get a glance of Willie again, he should have batted first though.

My thoughts exactly, who cares what this asshole has to say? He's one pompous SOB. abo...you did not just replace buerhle with zito in your av :finger It's Foulke, my favorite Sox player for a long time, who KW traded away from a piece of trash. It's helping me get over that travesty to see Keith again. Yeah oops I meant Foulke...

I think they're just about dying for a proven closer.

Just throwing this out there.... Koch for Jonny Damon? That would be beneficial to both clubs.

I don't think she'll be able to drop him today. WE'RE DOOMED FOR SURE

He probably did that better than anyone on the Sox. He was hitting poorly, but he never failed to do his best. I'm disappointed that things didn't work out for him here but I'll definately be pulling for him wherever he goes.

ROFLMAO Sure Bean says that after ripping KW off about a million times

Steff! How could you! What happened to "Taking one for the team"?

Beat out Mussina? Now that is something, Mussina's pitching like a Cy Young right now. But I guess so is Loaiza. Hopefully he gets his 6th win today, Ryan Franklin sucks ass.

If only every player on our team had the heart and hustle of Rowand.... If only Rowand could hit.... *sigh*

Alomar doesn't get enough credit for what he brings to the team and his game-calling behind the plate. I'm really glad that we brought Sandy back to teach Olivo and other youngsters. And really, Sandys been a consistent hitter too. Olivo should be eased into becoming our main guy. As everyone knows, this kids got a cannon arm and is probably the fastest catcher in the league.

Absolute chaos. It's Girls Gone Wild in the chatroom

I think Bobby V would be a pretty good manager for us. Lots of experience, a funny guy, he could fire it up. If my calculations are correct, hes a 1117-1072 lifetime manager?

The weather forecast doesnt sound too good. Is it raining hard right now?

CHICAGO -- It was the third inning of Saturday night’s game against the Minnesota Twins, and Jon Garland had just allowed a solo home run to A.J. Pierzynski to tie the game, a one-out single to Jacque Jones and a walk to Christian Guzman. His next pitch to Bobby Kielty sailed high and tight, bringing White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper to the mound to talk with his struggling young hurler. "He told me I was rushing,” said Garland of his brief, but demonstrative, visit from Cooper. “He came out to slow me down, get me back on track and keep my focus.” Garland paid close attention to Cooper’s advice, retiring nine of the next 10 hitters. The 23-year-old right-hander worked 5 2/3 innings, allowing four hits and two earned runs, before he was ejected for hitting Twins first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz. Garland picked up his first victory, but more importantly, he held on to his spot in the starting rotation. The confidence gained from Saturday’s victory now needs to be carried by Garland into Thursday’s start against the first-place Oakland A’s. John Halama pitches for Oakland, a left-hander who has never lost to Chicago. “It’s all about being consistent, so I certainly hope he goes out and backs up his last strong start,” Cooper said of Garland. “I believe in this kid, and we all really believe in him. “He needed that game for himself, and we needed it for the team. He beat some of the better clubs in baseball last year, and he’s a young guy who is establishing himself more and more.” The White Sox need Garland to help avoid a sweep at the hands of the A’s, and the seventh straight loss to Oakland. But, the offense will need to produce to back up Garland. During the first two games of this series, the White Sox have scored three runs. Pitching matchup: OAK: LHP John Halama 1-1, 2.95 in 2003 Has not faced CHI in 2003 3-0, 4.71 lifetime vs. CHI CHI: RHP Jon Garland 1-2, 6.39 in 2003 Has not faced OAK in 2003 0-1, 10.13 lifetime vs. OAK Players to watch: It’s no surprise that right-handed hitters such as Carlos Lee (5-for-12, one home run), Magglio Ordonez (5-for-11, one home run and four RBIs) and Joe Crede (2-for-2) have hit well in the past against the left-handed Halama. But, left-handed hitting Brian Daubach is 4-for-9 in his career against Halama, while Frank Thomas and Paul Konerko are a combined 3-for-25. Quotable: ““I’m trying to make sure all of our position players get enough at-bats to where we expect quality at-bats when we call upon them. It makes it feel more like one whole team, instead of starters vs. the reserves.” -- White Sox manager Jerry Manuel on trying to work in his reserves as much as possible. Quick hits: The White sox have fallen to 2-5 in games started this season by Mark Buehrle, their No. 1 pitcher in the rotation. ... Paul Konerko has hit in nine straight games (12-for-35) and has reached base in 17 straight games. Konerko’s second-inning double was one of only two solidly hit balls against Mark Mulder. ... Carlos Lee has 11 extra-base hits and 13 runs scored in the last 12 games. ... Wednesday’s game time of 1 hour 54 minutes is the quickest played by the White Sox since a game of the same time against Seattle on September 13, 1987. Weather forecast: It’s a rainy end to the White Sox homestand, with the forecast calling for precipitation every day but Saturday. Thursday’s forecast is for 58 degrees, with a 70 percent chance for heavy thunderstorms.

I've had that problem several times too. And for some reason, it doesn't keep me logged in even when I select it.

HELL YEA And if it turns out true, theres 50 more rows coming

Exactly. No one on this team right now is hitting the cover off the ball. And our main guy to blame is Aaron? I refuse to sign. But welcome

Giants, Cubs tied 1-1 in the 10th Starters were Prior and Moss. Both pitched 6 innings and gave up 1 ER. Lets go Giants

And lets put nobody in the lineup...we can't be doing any worse
