At least Jose C is not on the line for the decision any more.
The streak continues.....its amazing how many times this has happened!

Whoops. Might not want to fall behind Jim 3-1 with them loaded.
Surprisingly enough, Jim was only hitting .211 with RISP and only .200 after a 3-1 count before that AB.....you can move those numbers up a bit now though!
Let's not be so hard on Javy...without the error, the Orioles get one run at most that inning. If he can hold his own for another 3-4 innings (or maybe more), I still believe we will come back and win this game.
I'm guessing the vote was fairly close from these comments......

If just 60% of the people voted for one of the American league players, thats about 11.5 million votes and Liriano would most likely have had 3 million+ as well with the other 3 dividing approximately 5-6 million votes.

That Hawk, as I've said before, he may be a senile old coot, but he's OUR senile old coot.
If you don't love the Hawk, you must be a Cubs fan
Today would be a good game for Politte to have his last chance to stick....give him an inning and if he's shellacked here, its time to thank him for a great 2005 and refill his roster spot with Montero, Tracey, or someone else who at least has a chance to help this team.
Liriano and Santana won't lose the rest of the year??? Give me a break....they MAY win 75% of their starts but every pitcher in this game is beatable and does lose games.
Furthermore, Santana has a proven past....but there's a good chance that Liriano may be a flash in the pan. A few good months does not make a superstar....we need to remember this whether we are talking about the White Sox or our opponents.
The Twins will not win 100 games....I think 85-88 is more realistic and we should easily be able to outperform them.
The Tigers should be a challenge for the division title....but as someone said in an earlier post, there's a lot of games left between the two teams and this will decide the division.
Detroit has played at nearly 100% of their capablities for the first half of the season while we've probably realized 70% of our potential in 2006. If these roles reverse after the break, the Sox will win the division by 5-10 games....count on it!

in all honesty AJ is prolly the 4th most deserving guy on there
I disagree with that statement....Not only does AJ have great stats this year, but his "tough mental attitude" is inspiration for all the other White Sox. Without AJ, I think this team is easily 4-6 games off its current pace....there's not another player among the 5 that I could say that about.
How many times can we vote? Also, should we try to arrange an affiliation with a national league board that we vote for their player....as long as they vote for AJ? I think the Mets might get the most voters out.....if we can trust those from NY to fulfill their end of the deal.
