If this lineup does well tonight (scoring 5+ runs, solid defense) then this should be the same group of players starting the opener in Minnesota. If there has been ONE glaring negative in Ozzie's short career as manager, its been his inability to field a consistent lineup. If Uribe continues to stay hot and Willie continues to act the role of leadoff hitter, Ozz should find spots for these players. Even though CF doesn't suite Gload, if he excells tonight, his ass better be there in Minnesota.

Wunsch has pitched well against LH/RH, but his role in the past has been more of a left handed specialist. Not to say he'll have problems going beyond one inning, but keep in mind the bullpen must be kept fresh for the three games preceeding Cotts' start. Hopefully Ozzie won't leave any starters out longer then necessary in order to save the bullpen (in the event Neal doesn't fare well in Game 4). Though I fear he will anyways. Then again, unless our starters are planning on eating up innings the Minnesota series will probably become a heftly load for the bullpen. Why must this problem exist?

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!! THERES 2 IN A ROW, ONE MORE! ONE MORE OUT AND BILLY WILL RECORD HIS FIRST 1-2-3 INNING IN GOD KNOWS HOW LONG!!!!! I'M SO GLAD I'M ALIVE TO WITNESS THIS EVENT!!!!!!

Whats more rare: Randy Johnson throwing a perfect game or Koch pitching a 1-2-3 inning? We might have both tonight.

Could a 1-2-3 be in store for Billy tonight? Even DJ is looking forward to it.

Somebody has to do it: STOP.......................... BILLY TIME.

Why couldn't this perfect game have been against the Cubs?

RANDY = perfect.

Johnson 1 out away. I'm going to jinx him. His bid for a perfect game ends HERE.

4-2 Ballgame. Runner on third, 2 outs.

Alright everyone, back to the Sox game. Marte in trouble with runners on second and third with one out.

Back to the Sox game: Marte in to pitch. K's Lawton for 1st out.

Yeah, me too. Sox are winning 4-1 while Johnson is on the verge of pitching a perfect game. 4 outs away.....

Randy Johnson is 5 outs away from perfection......

Nice bunt there Hollywood.

4-1 Sox, bottom of the sixth. One out, runner on first.

Is it the 6th inning already? Just about time for another collapse. Lead off walk.

Garlands cruising: ten in a row retired. Into the six, 4-1 Sox.

Hawk is beginning to make a lot of little mistakes this season. Not much to worry about at this juncture, but that man has too much pride in himself to follow a Harrey Carey downward slope. We all are aware of his age, but I hope he knows the right time to retire (when it arrives)

Three straight AB's Willie ran the count full, except this time he has a single/RBI to show for it. 4-1 Sox.

Nice heads up baserunning for Valentin. 3-1 Sox.

2-1 Sox. Two run single by Paul Konerko. Have to admit, with the way these last couple games have been going, I thought PK would ground into a DP.

Carlos walks, Frank remains at second. Valentin up with 1 out.

This has happened several times now. A Sox runner is thrown out stealing, then the next batter immediately proceeds to get a hit. Do your job Carlos.

Maggio thrown out at second (somehow). Ozzie, stop running players not named Uribe or Harris into outs.
