Maybe my limited posting history and first game thread will be what starts the magical streak the Sox need....
So far you're lookin' good. You may want to seriously consider starting the game thread tomorrow.

Danks posted the first complete game shutout by a Sox pitcher in Seattle since Jack McDowell accomplished the feat on Aug. 1, 1993
Danks' complete game shutout was the first by a Sox lefty in Seattle since Floyd Bannister did it on Sept. 13, 1987
Now you know!
Cool! He was awesome. Another "nugget". We were sitting behind the Sox dugout and got a kick out of Ozzie several times chucking peanuts at the Moose (Mariners' mascot).

Arlington stadium has become a modern day poltergeist. I'm never going to that stadium. I'd fall for no reason.
Look on the bright side though, they'd probably erect a statue of you.
Well, this will be my last Sox game this year. I guess I'm pretty fortunate really that the only games I get to go to are when they play in Seattle. I've seen all the games this year and one (win) last year, 5-1 overall. Let's make it 6-1 Gavin! I'm stoked to get to see the Tank play today.

Well, I am waiting and I will see tonights game adn tomorrows also as it is on the Fox NW (ROOT) channel which we get. Loved Lilli last night. The kid is really somethig. Can't help but cheer for him everytime he comes up. Hoe to see Viciedo in both games. Maybe he plays 1B?
Lilli really crushed that one. We were sitting out by the Sox bullpen and had a nice viewpoint of the ball sailing well over the wall. It was especially nice for him hitting what turned out to be the game winner in Safeco since he loves playing here having grown up in the area.
My daughter got Will Ohman's autograph, her first White Sox autograph. She was excited about that. My first Sox autograph was either Tommy McCraw or Ron Hansen....can't remember which one.
Tonight we get Larry Bernandez Bobbleheads. Woot.
