Freddie Garcia leads the Sox quest for 11 straight. This is fun. One would hope that the Cubs are in a state of disaray and the Sox with their stuff in a group will rock!

It's along season and it's great when you are wimnning. We need to stay on an even keel and play hard. I have no doubt that will happen. The Twinkies are a good team as are the Tigers, but we are just as good. I am guessing we will have a a great summer baseball race

I'm so old I remember Minnie Minoso, Nellie Fox, Luis Aparicio, et al

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 11:43 PM) Yeesh, Lou sent Zambrano home after the first inning because he didn't want any problems in the clubhouse. From Lou's tone it sounds like Carlos could be in some trouble here. Was a blow up seen over the TV broadcast? I am DVRing this game on WGN

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 11:27 PM) Color me unimpressed. I don't think santos will stick around the majors for too long, and if he does, he will be in the back end. I realize this is a very unpopular opinion. I will say I don't agree with your assessment.

OH! OH! CQ k'd. He might be going into a slump

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 11:16 PM) Nice job of coming back to get him by Sergio. Just in case al you guys don't know it already- I think Santos has a great chance of being pretty special

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 11:11 PM) Garcia vs Silva Danks vs Dempster I think Sunday is on WGN

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 11:02 PM) No reason at all to push him with "Fluid in his shoulder" and a 6 run lead. I agree and now I see santos is coming in to pitch the 8th. Good call

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 11:00 PM) Ah crap, they're loaded. JP was just toying with them and give the Cubs false hope. Ground out for the third out force

Jake could go another inning maybe. He is still throwing 93 MPH and less than 100 pitches. But, Ozzie might want to be cautious

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 10:49 PM) Nice sac fly for Gordon. Nice swing. 6-0! Kotsay with a nice tag as well. It would be so great if GB starts to come out of his slump also. Getting a bunch of guys hot will work just fine

Is it possible that CQ is finding his groove? Homer and a double today

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) Wow, Lillibridge just missed a pitch for a million dollars.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 10:38 PM) 11 in a row retired by JFP. THat's our usual 10+ retired streak. This streak has been so much fun it's unbelievable. You just hope it never stops even though you know eventually it will.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 10:36 PM) Lillibridge doesn't really play enough to be hated. Why hate the kid anyway? He is a scrapper

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 25, 2010 -> 02:24 AM) This series actually worries the hell out of me for some reason. It's along season and you aren't going to win them all. We are playing in our home park and playing real well. We have a good chance of winning this series too

I think KW and Ozzie are too much in love with Juan Pierre to make any trades like that. Plus I don't think lead off is our issue. A lefty reliever of quality and a left handed power bat to maybe fit in at DH makes more sense.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 09:38 PM) Blah. Pitcher wins have pretty much become the most worthless stat in baseball (and that's saying a lot). Gavin just needs to keep doing what he's doing. He is so fun to watch when he's on. I'll admit sometimes I get bored with Buehrle and Danks. Even when they're rolling. Maybe because they're so similar. But I find myself not even wanting to get up to take a s*** when Gavin is dealing. I am sure Gavin appreciates your loyalty

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 08:52 PM) That JJ Putz signing is looking f***ing awesome right about now. He's got a 0.79 WHIP and a 11.1 K/9, great life on his fastball and that devastating splitty, what a pickup. The back end of the bullpen has been nails for us. If you hope to win the division that's a necessity. Putz when healthy is dominant. Put him, Thornton and then Jenks together all are lights out. Now if Linebrink and Williams can step up and join the trio

We know that when Konerko goes on a hot streak lots of homers follow

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 24, 2010 -> 07:15 PM) He gawn! Good luck to Jayson, just not against the Sox. Good luck to him. He left with class and I am sure he gave the Sox his best effort. I was hoping he might be passed over and then be at Charlotte ready if we needed him later.

This turn around is almost to good to be true, but I don't want to wake up from the dream.

Watching Gavin dominate lately has been a beautiful thing
