Just WIN!

We get to see Portugal and Brazil tomorrow, I think we might see some goals rather than low scoring affairs.

Cowley tweets that Kenny Williams will be making the roadtrip to Pittsburgh and Washington, together with the team for the first time this year. http://twitter.com/cst_sox/status/16190596398

A blurb from mlbtraderuors.com On another note, I was watching MLB Network late at night and they had the preview for "The Club" and it wasn't a longer preview than what I've seen before. They focused a lot on Kenny and Ozzie and the unfolding drama it seemed like.

I think Paraguay will upset Italy today.

If this is I love Ozzie thread then: I love Ozzie for pinch hitting Juan Pierre today.

What a crazy game, I was there tonight, couldn't bring White Sox the win unfortunately. Today was second time I witnessed Gavin Floyd take a no-hitter to the 7th inning, I was there two years ago when he did that against Twins.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 12:26 AM) Reinsdorf has an amazing bond with Ozzie. If Reinsdorf calls the shots, Ozzie will be here for as long as he wants. Unfortunately all signs point to what fathom just wrote.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 05:06 PM) There is a store right over by Wrigley Field that sells mostly Cubs stuff, but they have stuff from all teams. I am sure they will have some things in there. I think it's right across the street from the Cubby Bear. Thanks guys!

I just won 2 tickets to tonight's game, but as I'm at my sisters house I have no chance to go back home to get my Sox gear. Anywhere I can buy a Sox t-shirt anywhere in Wrigleyville?

Raining in Wrigley 3.5 hours before first pitch.

This is outstanding piece of work Kalapse.

We will know more when lineups are posted for the Sox - Cubs game. With the day off tomorrow and AJ having a day off Wednesday he should be in the lineup? Right?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 02:04 PM) Yep. Flowers in April: .323/.432/.613/1.045 Flowers in May (change of swing): .122/.215/.280/.496 Flowers in June (back to old swing): .333/.429/.800/1.229 (30 ABs) Which only makes one think, why would they try to f*** with his swing if it was obviously working? I'm no hitting coach but is there a chance HIS swing won't hit Major League pitching and that's why they wanted him to change it? If it ain't broke don't fix it!

Braves put up a 4 spot on the Twins in the first inning, currently leading 5-0 in the third.

Thanks!

QUOTE (3E8 @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 01:27 PM) Flowers absolutely tore the cover off the ball in 18 April games. He didn't struggle at all offensively to start the season. After altering his swing per Greg Walker's advice in May, Flowers stated in an interview the swing change didn't work for him and went back to his old swing in June. In 9 June games thus far, Flowers has an OPS over 1.200. I have very little concern in his offensive ability. This isn't a guy who's enjoying a temporary hot streak. He's been a beast with the bat his entire professional career Do you by any chance have a link to that interview?

No excuses, JUST WIN!

I voted yes, but looks like AJ's rights kick in at midnight so he won't be traded this weekend. Any chance AJ comes back next year on a cheap two year deal to split C/DH duties with Flowers?

Do we know which Sox pitcher will face Strasburg next weekend?

BOOM. Hafner.

Thank you fathom for pointing out the game is on TBS. Has Cleveland got a hit off him yet?

Latest column from Cowley: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/wh...T-sox13.article He pretty much says Ozzie is fireproof and talks about the possible future of all 4 baseball managers in town.

Good win! SWEEP tomorrow!

OVAH!
