2nd game of a 4 game series and the starters are:
Josh Stewart- 0-1, 4.91
Brian Anderson- 2-1, 3.48
Gametime is 1:05 CT.
Anderson is 3-1, 4.91 lifetime vs. CHI and Stewart has never faced Cleveland.
Magglio Ordonez has hit in 14 straight and Frank Thomas has reached base in every game he has played this season. But, neither player has really broken out yet. They might have a chance against Brian Anderson, a left-handed hurler. Thomas is hitting .500 this season against lefties. With an intentional walk from Billy Traber in the seventh inning, Thomas broke Luke Appling's White Sox career record for walks with 1,303. Thomas has now reached base in all 15 games he has played in 2003 and leads the American League with 17 walks. Jose Valentin has reached base in 13 straight games. Ordonez extended his hitting streak to 14 with a RBI-double to left in the third inning. Ordonez has the longest active streak in the American League. Aaron Rowand is in a 2-for-26 funk during his last seven games. The White Sox are 10-0 when not making an error in a game, and 0-6 when committing an error.
Weather: Luckily for Manuel, his team has been more consistent than the Chicago weather. After hitting 84 at game time Tuesday and then dropping to 34 with the wind chill Thursday, Saturday's forecast calls for 70 degrees with scattered thunderstorms.
