Yesterday Abreu barely taps Holaday with his bat and they call intereference... when that was much closer to the spirit of the rule.

The bad defense in the first is going to wear heavily on Latos' pitch count. He'll be very lucky to go 6.

Eaton and Lawrie do good work walling off the 1st base side.

Latos is going to learn the hard way about allowing too many fly balls on hot days at US Cellular. Not that I'm too worried, his stuff looks good, but today may go down as learning experience.

SEASON OVER

Danks stuff doesn't really translate to the pen. Doesn't translate to starting very well either I know, but he would be a very bad pitcher to bring in when things go awry.

They're gonna keep Erik Johnson around today in case Latos gets murdered (Texas was scoring like 7 runs a game until they came to Chicago) and call up Gonzalez the instant the game ends. I'd almost guarantee it. The question I have is whether this is a spot start for Gonzalez to alleviate the wear and tear from 19 straight game, or the first step in the The End of John Danks. Maybe both.

If it were an injury they would be skipping his start entirely.

Playing some big swatters this series with no Sale and so far, so good.

per Bruce Levine

As long as he never plays 1B again.

A sweep would be pretty nice.

Finally some good news from the farm.

that's a nice catch. with this complete lack of days off for the next 10 days might be a good idea to throw in a spot start.

It also prevents concussions.

Defense has been the difference in a lot off these games.

12-6 is a good number. Latos gotta keep the good times rolling tomorrow.

They arent gonna score.

Anyone caught what Albers said to the ump?

Rollins needs to finish that play.

Desmond will run and this game will be over soon.

He can strike out looking, strike out swinging, strike out on 0-2, strike out 1-2 and strike out on 2-2. Five tools.

Those last two plays were the right moves. Jackson is ice cold and DeShields made the throw of a lifetime to get Navarro.

Lets see some Navarro POWER.

GLAD TO BE WRONG NICE JOB TODDFATHER
