The only guy that I would like to see on our team do the HR derby is Frank. His swing is much more conducive to the derby. Most of the guys that do that are HR hitters with HR swings. Maggs is a gap to gap hitter who happens to be strong enough to hit some HR's.

So now everyone wondering why Olivo stayed in the game think that Sandy wouldn't be headed to the DL after that hit?

I for one would NOT want Maggs in the HR derby. He doesn't have a natural HR swing and I don't want his swing ruined for the 2nd half the way Konerko was last year. Let Boone do it.

Rowand throws out Hafner at home to end the inning, on a great play by Olivo after Hafner plowed him to hold onto the ball!!!

Thomas pops out to make it 0-5 and 0-3 with RISP today. Sox lead 7-4 going to the bottom of the 8th.

Rowand follows with a double that misplayed by Spencer, Thomas up.

TONY G DOES YARD WORK!!! WHITE SOX LEAD 7-4!!!

But Olivo swings at ball 4 on the next pitch... two outs.

Sox pull off a double steal, 2nd and 3rd now with one out.

Crede with a nice sac bunt to get Harris to 2nd. Wedge is out to make a pitching change. Looks like the Tribe is going to bring a lefty in to turn around Valentin to the right side.

Konerko with a lead off single in the 8th, his first 3 hit game of the year. Harris comes on to PR for Pauly.

6 of the last 7 outs recorded by Sox pitchers have been K's

Wifredo Ledezma and Detroit beat the Red Sox 3-0, Mears gets his 4th save.

And that is it for Jon Garland... Dave Sanders coming on to pitch to Ben Broussard.

Shaner Spencer just misses a HR off of the top of the fence for a double. 2nd, 3rd still two outs.

Two out single ties the game 4-4. Milton Bradley gets the two rbis and it is a whole new ball game

Crede with a web gem reaching into the Indians dugout to make the catch, two outs.

Gerut pops out to SS, one out.

Phillips doubles, second and third now still no one out. 4-2 Sox.

Lead off hit followed by a walk to the #8 hitter. no one out bottom of the 5th for Cleveland.

Maggs gets a one out walk, and Carlos GIDP while half assing it down the line. Halfway home Sox lead 4-1.

Through 4 innings- Garland 66 pitches Traber 71 pitches Thomas, Ordonez, Lee for the 5th.

Garland K's Hafner for his 5th K, and gets the Injuns 1-2-3 in the 4th.

It about time for Gonzo to have his 2nd half injury break down anyway. Go ahead let them give up prospects for him...
