Palmeiro walks after two quick strikes from Jackson. Where is the killer instinct?

Jackson gives up a 2 strike double. Things aren't looking good for us today.

As long as we don't get through the bottom of the 5th we are ok and the game doesn't count.

Another homer. What the heck is happening to this guy

Another homer and this one with a man on. Crap!

I think he just got his first ML strike out. Keep it up Diaz.

Let's hope Diaz isn't coming unraveled now. He left two on last inning and gives up his 2nd homer today followed by a hit.

Ever since that minor league rehab debacle Jose hasn't looked comfortable at the plate. He didn't look good at all down in Charlotte I might add. I really like Jose, but he needs some work with Walker to snap out of this funk. He is batting lefty against a lefty though.

Just don't get hit by a horseshoe.

Got to hand it to the kid. He came back nicely after the Palmeiro homer.

Whatever it is I think the Sox hitters should be talking to Raffy and see if he will give them some pointers. I just hope Diaz doesn't fall into that trap of giving up 2 or 3 long balls a game like some of our guys seem to do.

Followed by a Valentin K. Did this guy K the side? At least we got some runs. They should be very humble and ashamed after game one.

I here for game 2. Konerko comes throuhg with 2 outs and 2 strikes. You gotta love it.

Oh well. I have to sign off for awhile. I hope my leaving will lift the hex. I'll check in later.

Hurt walks. Gload in scoring position. Let's go Jose Valentin!

Gload with a single. he has both hits now. Of course he has never seen this pitcher before.

I am wondering why Carlos Lee is not sitting for this DH? He is anemic right now.

Wow! It looks like Jon really hung in there with Lopez. 9 pitches and a ground out. Good for Jon. Now let's score...

Sorry! Be careful your teacher is probably a Cubs fan.

Orioles ith 2 on and one out I see. Trouble brewing in River City!

Watching game day and they have Roberts batting against Cabrera. This must be the aggressive trading ideas that Kenny has? He traded for Cabrera in the middle of the game.

If these AL teasm were really smart they would bring up rookie pitchers for every game against the Sox. I am sure we would be 0-162 at the end of the year. It is a strange deal when we go from 15-0 and beat the heck out of an established ML pitcher to one hit through 5 against a rookie.

You got it!

Thanks! Usually Jon's problems come in the 1st inning or in bunches. He seems to be doing pretty good. Now as we have all said: Wake up offense!

YOU GO NUKE! Gotta love your post there from Ozzie too. I laughed when I saw that in todays Sox report in the papers.
