OK, I take it back. I'll eat crow tonight. Everett with a GIDP. Add him to the list also.

I think Carl is a good rightie hitter isn't he? Seems to me he homered a couple game back from the right side.

I don't want to act as if I am not in awe of Maggs, but these DP grounders happen way to ften. Ditto for Lee and Konerko. I think they are trying to pull the ball all the time in these situations. But then what do I know.

Good to see the Hurt get a hit. 2 on and 0 out. Let's score.

SuperSteve go to Chisox.Com or MLB.Com and log onto game day. You can folow the computer action play-by-play

Now we are into the Twins bullpen. Time to blast them guys!

No matter what you think of Colon or what names you want to call him you have to admit the guy is a battler. He came back and got them with two on and no one out. No runs in for the twinkies. Gotta luv the Bart

Like I have been saying all along ... stick with BC

Manauel probably won't take Bart out till next inning unless they get another hit off him and then two runs will score.

I purposely didn't say anything about Stewart batting as I was afraid of the jinx, but he got a hit anyway. Colon needs to show his stuff now.

We could sure use a couple more runs just to be on the safe side. Maybe Colon is saving his blazing stuff for the last couple innings to blow the Twinkies candle out. i sure hope he has something else to offer.... id hate to waste that first inning on nothing........ btw,32,807 at the game tonite....... Good to see that much of a crowd. However, the Sox deserve a full stadium especially in a battle of behemouths like the Twinkies and the mighty Sox

ahh but how quickly you foreget.... i have still life of you two in action........dont make me get the pics posted here..... proof is in the kodak moment..... Please share the photos with us.

What's your take on that? Olivo just young and inexperienced or is it Colon's fault?

Didin't Manuel and Cooper have a talk with him earlier this year about taking it up a notch and going with heat?

What are you two doing? The threads are getting me excited!

That's great. Not to many K's, but it seems he has been getting lots of grounders, heh?

Yo Ms Lee, How fast is Bartolo throwing tonight?

BC neeeds to get Piercawhoski out now!

Logging on Heather. Good job again. Let's keep it up, OK?!

People, people, people..... Don't kill yourselves over the game being in the afternoon. The lords of baseball invented the VCR for just these times. Put the old tape in the machine adn go to school. Rewind it when you get home and watch our Sox win and Loaiza get #20. I plan on recording the epic battle so should you. Try and stay away from any updates during the game time while in class.

The Sox should feel good about Colon pitching Monday. The team knows it is a big game and Bartolo steps up for the big games. I think we have an excellent chance Monday to win. Question is can we play some small ball, run, bunt and get the big hits when needed?

And you have a great site name. I loved Al Lopez and if I am correct Ray Berres was the pitching coach, Tony Cuccinelo and Don Gutteridege were there too. Baseball is the most frustrating, but loveable sport there is in my opinion. You start in the early Spring and follow the ups and downs and ups and downs of you favorite team all the way till the Fall. Then you wait for Spring Training where hope springs eternal. You just keep coming back for more-what could be better? The line that James Earl Jones said during the Field of Dreams movie always comes to my mind, " Baseball has been the one constant in our lives." Waxing the philosophical a bit I must admit.

I'll be watching on WGN.
