Today is a huge game you are right, I like the early start as it doesn't give them much time to dwell on the loss. As to the offense, I like the signs that we are showing. We had 13 hits last night. I can't remember the last time we had 13 hits in one game (the most in the Cubs series was 11hits) So we are a step closer. before we were getting 3 or 4 hits and scoring one run. The key to today is to jump on Radke early. Get that confidence back. Plus getting 7 or 8 out of Mark would be huge.

Well said. It is one of the big reasons me and my former-ESPNers all made the move over here. If I wanted to deal with trolls, I would go back there.

From ESPN1000. They actually gave me a Friday nite game, granted it is against the Tigers, but still. It took them 3 days to get it to me, so I get to go down to the grandstand and see how to spend my $100 gift cert.

I am guessing Vlad gets about 5 years $75 mil. I think Vlad is one of those guys to whom it matters where he plays more than how much he gets paid. I wonder where he lands next year?

More like :puke Billy Koch

Farns has already said he will appeal. What a chode, he got a game per punch, he got off easy.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am ready to let Flash close. Anyone else?

Val and his 3 run HR made 8 points and the PTC winner. The ONLY person who picked him was ElrockinMT. Congrats!

That idiot was still there when I left. All the way down to his "witty" little copyright symbols and "board closed" posts. Ah yes the fakester. And the sad thing was is as pathetic and ignorant as he was he never even approached the depths of kenblanks and Boog_Alou95

Today's game is a first pitch at 1:05 Chicago time, and only 6 people have picks in so far! Match up today is Radke and Buehrle.

My question is why did Manuel use Koch in that situation in the first place. Even if he gets the Twins out in the 11th then the Sox score in the 12th, he has to pitch a second inning. Koch has had enough problems going one inning let alone two. Heck at that point I just go to Rick White and give him a chance to prove himself.

WTF is wrong with Billy Koch, seriously. This guy used to top out at 100mph, now his fastball is the same speed as Mark Buehrle. Is he hurt or mental?

You guys realize that if Harris or Rios know how to track and catch a fly ball without letting it get past them, or if Frank Thomas can actually dig out a realatively simple turf bounce from Joe Crede ( it bounced about 10 feet in front of him, Frank contorted his body away from the ball and wiffed on it) the final score is 5-3 Sox. Sure the offense didn't contribute in the 2nd half of the game, but if the defense is even respectable this whole conversation is moot.

I don't get the Ponson talk, starting pitching is the least of our problems. we need hitting and defense bad.

Jim Thome got right around that much. Are you telling that that Thome=Vlad?

How hard is it to PLAY SOME f***ING DEFENSE? WILLIE HARRIS, AND ARMANDO RIOS ARE HORRIBLE IN THE OF. With Harris it doesn't matter how f***ing fast you are if you are running the WRONG f***ING WAY when the ball is hit.

What is the big deal, it was just like reading a whitesox61382 post

Kind of sounds like a Boystown color, don't it?

Dude are you really that pathetic? What a loser!

We should have won 5-3

3-2.

We won't make it to the 11th. I said earlier, Gordon loses this one.

Right before Jose hit his 3 run HR they flashed that stat that Jose had brought home a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs only twice in ten chances this year.

No way. He will get AT LEAST $10mil, if not more from an LA or SD.

Have you seen Rios in the OF at all? Rios is HORRIBLE. Even when Lee is in dumbass mode, he is still WAY better than Rios.
