QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 10:20 PM) What is the question? He's going to be a starter barring something ridiculous. Thing is, if we're going into next year with a 5 man rotation including Peavy, you're going to need to basically have a 6th starter ready to go as well. If Danks is traded and Buehrle is kept, you can have Humber, Stewart and sale fight it out for that rotation spot and put the other in Charlotte. Or if you really believe in Axelrod, he'll be available in AAA as a starting option.

Applause

Good at bat by Valencia

Ok Zach...

Cuddyer and Kubel still available on the bench

75 pitches through 7. 21 down.

Mauer is still the challenge

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 09:55 PM) I hate WCIU. I actually want to watch this game unfold and I can't... MLB network and MLB.com will start carrying this if he gets to the 8th

That was a long layoff for Zach.

Good hit Morel

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 09:40 PM) aren't white sox fans supposed to be above jinx-speak With Farmer and Hawk as our announcers?

Kid really has the feel for that outside corner. 65 pitches through 6.

Repko aced!

QUOTE (chiguy79 @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 09:28 PM) Banishment worthy...although I guess for admins it is ok...I had a friend say that when gavin had a nono into the 8th, next batter, hit. I don't worry about that any more since I counted down the last 10 outs for M-56.

Wait.. Is Zach perfect through 5!?

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 09:12 PM) I'm surprised, I'm certain you mean Oz's decision to play Mackowiak cost the division, not how Mack played. It's the decision, not the player ;-) And no, he's done it every season I can think of. Mackowiak ctually had one of his better seasons with the bat. The problem was he didn't know how to become twice as fast and get much better jumps in CF. Blaming that on the player is foolish.

Ways to get Rios out: 1. Fastball right down the middle.

The flaw then continues to be the fact that Rios and Dunn have never been close to this bad before.

Short and quick nets a double for the shire.

Very unreal. We are talking about Ozzies lineups right?

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) I really doubt that. Bobby Jenks agrees.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 5, 2011 -> 08:51 PM) I wish we had the chance to know. And nice dodge of the question. Has there been a single season where Ozzie has not inexplicably played and protected some player who didn't belong on the field? I'll go to my grave saying Mackowiak in Cf cost us the division in 2006. Rios and Dunn playing and Viciedo, De Aza, and Lillibridge benched or in AAA has cost more games than that this year.

There's one

Good to see Brent turn on a pitch for a solid hit
