Sox lineup: Gonzalez CF Erstad 1B Konerko DH Dye RF Fields 3b Pods LF Uribe SS Richar 2B Hall C

Sox have the best record in AL Central over the past ten games. Tonight they begin their sweep of the three game series against the Tigers on their way to a historic comeback for the Central Title.

Don't look now, but over the past ten games the White Sox have the best record in the AL Central.

Floyd can hold down that spot until next year when KW signs Zambrano

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 08:06 PM) I don't have a problem with Danks going through growing pains in his first full year with us....because, in theory, we had 4 other guys that were dependable. What we actually have is 3 guys who are very dependable, sometimes even dominant, 1 guy who is going through growing pains that should be expected, and one s***storm of an excuse for a starting pitcher, who could be 40+ years old easy, AND is signed for 2 more years. We need a Carlos Zambrano to shore up our starting staff.

Sox win tonight, 8-2 and go on to play .800 ball for the rest of the season. Will it be enough to matter? Who knows--but it will be fun.

I like his arm.

I'm weary of watching Podsednik's miscues in LF. Just bring up Sweeney and stick him out there for the rest of the season.

Ozzie's got Fields batting second tonight. Hmmmmmm...... Richar batting ninth.

Anyone know if Konerko tweaked something or is this a scheduled night off? I figured he'd get Sunday afternoon off to give him two days in a row after this long stretch of games.

Any word on why Konerko has the night off?

Iguchi traded for a single A player per ESPN1000. That's disappointing.

QUOTE(heirdog @ Jul 24, 2007 -> 02:30 PM) Replace Murton with Pie and you have a deal...or we can just take the 2 draft picks Now I'd do that in a heartbeat.

Would I do it? Hell no!

Willie was a good hitter throughout his minor league years, so this comes as no surprise.

QUOTE(CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 22, 2007 -> 01:21 AM) Yes 6 for 6 with 6 rbi u heard me right . Take that, all you Willie Harris bashers!

Sox win, 8-4!

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Jul 12, 2007 -> 11:01 AM) Two double headers in the next month lead me to believe haegar is here for a while regardless of results. He is an ideal spot starter and long releiver as he can do both during a double header and does not need to be shut down for a couple of days. Maybe he'll be another Wilbur Wood and start both games of a double-header.

I'm looking forward to see Haegar pitch for the Sox. I was a big supporter of him and was pulling for him to make the team out of Spring Training. I was very disappointed and a little baffled when I saw how poorly he was doing in AAA this season. Hopefully he has turned it around for good and I hope he has a very long and productive future in the majors. I just hope A.J. is ready for him! Thanks to the guys with the "inside" scoop. To think, if I would have believed the initial post about Haeger's return I could have taken the info and posted it on WSI giving me instant credibility as an "insider!"

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 11, 2007 -> 08:30 PM) Wow, Chuck was not one of the names I expected that would come up here... I think they like the fact he could relieve or go long innings to save the pen. Hopefully he isn't as amped up as the last time we got here and he doesn't overthrow the knuckler again. Where is all this talk about Haeger being called up coming from? It was only posted by a couple of posters here with single digit post totals and nowhere else that I can find.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 10, 2007 -> 07:21 PM) Haeger's probably just being called up to pitch out of the pen. The rotation will be Garland, Buehrle, Vazquez, Contreras, Danks. No trades will be made. I'm almost positive this is the case. Has Haeger's callup been confirmed yet? I can't find anything on it.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 10, 2007 -> 09:08 AM) I hope he does come back. He might not be as good as his All-Star season, but guess what, he's a solid ball player who is overrated by some, and vastly underrated by his bashers. Should come relatively cheaply and solve our CF situation for 5 seasons. Yes.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 10:56 PM) He'll be with the White Sox next year. Good.

Blow it up!
