Flash Tizzle

I will keep believing in this team until its statistically impossible for us to win first place. Being tied for second with the Twins worries me, but once again there is a perfect opportunity for the Sox to gain ground on KC; who are facing the Yanks at Yankee Stadium. LIMA TIME returns

1) Who will win the series (CHW/ANA) (2 points)? CHW 2) Which bullpen will issue more walks (CHW/ANA) (2 points)? CHW 3) How many errors will the Sox make (4 points)? 2 4) How many basehits will Jon Garland allow (4 points)? 6 5) What will Joe Crede's average be after the series (.002 either way) (5 points)? .203 6) How many different Sox players will have a multi-hit game during the series (5 points)? 5 7) Who will lead the Sox in doubles (4 points)? Ordonez 8) Will someone on the Sox get a save (Y/N) (2 points)? Y 9) Who will be in 2nd place in the AL Central after the series (2 points)? CHW 10) Will Tim Salmon hit a homerun (Y/N) (2 points)? N TIEBREAKER: Attendance on Monday night 19,230

Rangers third base coach is ejected. 69 pitches for Cotts.

Now Cotts needs to keep on a roll and not pull a Bartolo Colon. Im actually confident in our team. Lot of game left, but if we still have the lead going into the later inning with Marte and Gordon rested Sox have a good change to salvage.

Jose with a double, scores everett. Paulie on third. Crede up with one out. 3-3

Paulie grounded to Arod, everett was on second maggs on third. Maggs scores and when everett moves into third he is tagged out. Though the third base ump didnt get a good angle and calls everett safe.

Thats a s***ty call by the third base ump. ( Paul would of been doubled up in that situation if everett was at first instead of second) Arod throws to the third baseman and is tagged out. the ump didnt see it, everett is safe.

If I was Manuel, and Konerko didnt get a run in I would bench him for tomorrow. This is ridiculous. Players go up to the plate with a 3-2 count on Dominguez, he should be getting murdered.

Carl hits a double, takes away a DP opportunity from Konerko. Maggs into third

5 K's for dominguez. Frank is sack of s*** this road trip, rather have daubach out. Basehit by maggs, chip away Sox.

Lee K's for the second time. End of inning. Cotts needs to stop these guys now. Limit Rangers to 3 runs and we can still win this game

Robbie flies out. Ball was in the air for about a minute. 2 outs.

It is 3-1, I heard Roney say something with 5 in it, thought thats what they had. My bad.

Man, this guy is all over the fricken plate. 45 pitches by Dominguez.

5-1 Texas. But im not getting my hopes up yet.

Check that, Alomar was thrown out at second. Two outs. Frank walks. Dominguez has thrown full counts to every batter so far.

Once again Sox waste an opportunity for a rally on a strikeout by Lee and alomar is thrown out at first. Long game ahead.

Our buddy Phil Cuzzi is lingering around 2nd base, looking to screw the Sox at every opportunity available. Robbie walks to start off the game, a good start.

Where is everyone? Looks like another thread Ill have to carry. Sox coming to bat

Dominguez is 10-0 with a 2.67 ERA in the Minor Leagues......... Will we be seeing Cy Domiguez tonight?

That doesnt sound good. You dont keep hitters off balance throwing it down the middle for every pich. Being wild could benefit him if he doesn't go to the extent he did on his last start.

Texas either doesn't care about sweeping us, or don't take us too seriously because not only are they benching Blalock but the Sox killer from this series Palmiero.

Everybody, dont make any predictions today.......needless to say they haven't worked out, and when you write them it just seems like a jinx. Yesterday, Heather Lee: ----Fearless prediction: The White Sox will not shutout their opposition; however, they will score just enough runs to eke out a win. Fri, Southsider2k3: ----I am predicting a 6 inning 3 hit shutout, you heard it here first! MERCY!!!!!!
