The importance of Youk to the Sox cannot be understated. Also major props to Humber to bolster the starting pitching which we needed badly. Let's hope he can keep it up long enough to get Floyd and Crain back and eventually Danks if at all possible.

To be fair it didnt sound like he was that good in his rehab starts either...so yeaa
The last one wasn't bad. Slightly rocky 1st inning then a lot of zeros.
Poor Axe . Sox just abusing him using him on 3 days rest and now starting after 2 innings of relief Friday. Pitching staff in shambles. Getting 2 in KC was big. Sox record in Fenway damn good last few years but Bosox healthy and Konerko .228 since May 28th and starters dropping like flys and bunches of rooks in the pen, the Sox are a disaster waiting to happen.
Cook has pitched well against the Sox. I know Robin wont change the lineup with PK in it so I'm hoping PK sits the 1st game after the HBP and his suckiness for a month and a half. Rios should be hitting 3rd Dunn 4th.
! don't think it would be that hard to bunt hard and get it to go 30-50 feet past 3rd base. Normal bunts you try to have a loose grip on the bat and deaden it. A hard bunt would mean to just keep it fair and doesn't have to be right down the 3rd base line since the 3rd baseball is playing close to 2nd base . I could easily see a double bunt in Dunn's case and there's nothing wrong with a free double. Won't ever happen unless the Sox actually clinch the division semi early and Dunn's screwing around. But in the playoffs a hit like that would be awesome. He should at least try in in batting practice once in a while.

The main thing with that Tigers series out of the ASB is not getting swept.
1/3 is fine...a sweep puts the White Sox on their heels a bit and brings all those 2nd half slide questions back into everyone's minds.
The Tiger's need to worry about being swept not the Sox.

3 years is just crazy, unless it's a team option only, like with Gavin.
You have to think he will get some 2 year offers for at least 10-15 M So offer 2 with team option for buyout year of 2 M.
