AJ Ryan Guzman up for Twinkies

tribe fails to score in second top 3, zip zip

i was at that game Siro pitched it was in late August at Fenway on a Sunday afternoon. I believe the run was unearned because of a -- believe it or not -- Valentin error. Sox had a chance to score in the ninth, but couldn't get a big hit. Von Joshua got tossed because he laid a towel down in the dugout to show John Hirshbeck how wide his strike zone was. Siro literally gave his career to the Sox. Pitched lotso innings. Pitched hurt in the Division series against Seattle. The pitching was actually pretty good against Seattle, considering Parque, Baldwin, Sirotka and Eldred all were sore or shut down. Foulke gave it up in one game in Comiskey as I remember. And the offense was a total no-show. TOTAL. Three full years on the sidelines tells me Sirotka will need a miracle to come back.

Sox got no right to say a word about the Twins' schedule not after losing 8 games to that rotten team. Not after that three-game series in July when the Sox huffed and puffed their way to THREE runs in THREE games. They dug the hole. They gotta dig out of it -- THIS WEEK. As for the Tigers, we'll be lucky if they beat the Twins twice in seven game. I believe Minnesota has won 21 of its last 22 against Detroit. Two or more will be a bonus. One thing that does give the White Sox hope is White Sox history. In 1967 they were locked in a four-way race against Minnesota, Boston and Detroit. With a week to go, I believe the Sox were a game out. But insiders were predicting the Sox would win it all because they had the easiest schedule. So they lost the last five games of the season -- a twi-night doubleheader at Kansas City as well as a three-game series at home against the Washington Senators. KC was the worst team in the 10-team AL with a final record of 62-99. Washington finished 76-85, tied for 6th. The Sox ended up fourth, three games out. As bad as KC and Washington were that year, they look like the 1927 Yankees compared to these Tigers.

i checked the baseball america website i don't think sirotka pitched for the third straight year always liked him -- a lot. hope he comes back somewhere. never wanted to see him leave, especially for Phat Man Wells.

if the sox are going to win it, they're going to win it with pitching. Need the same kind of chunking in the Twinkie Dome starting Tuesday Kudos to buehrle, who can finish this year over .500 after starting 2-10

nice job by Buehrle, climbing all the way back from 2-10 to .500 whudda thunk it?

twinkies out in the 8th leading 4-3

twinkies have score lead 4-3 runners on second and third two outs LeCroy up

i believe twinkies have second and third with one out Rivas up top 8 not good not good at all

somebody will give Par-Kay another chance he didn't pitch that poorly this year. His velocity wasn't much -- topping out at 85-86, still -- but he never was a hard thrower. In fact, he started two games for Durham in the International League playoffs. My sources say he wasn't released because of the way he pitched as much for the way he tried to 'big-league' too many people. Maybe getting released by a dreadful team like Tampa will knock him down a few pegs.

it appears that Flash Gordon left the team after last night's game to return to Florida for the funeral of an uncle. He'll definitely miss today's game and maybe Sunday, too. Thoughts and prayers with Flash and his family. He is also negotiating a possible contract extension with KW. Sox trying to get it done before the end of the season. As reported earlier, Tampa is probably going to make a run at him, appealing to his desire to stay closer to home and his four children year round. seems like a strange time to be talking about contracts with Gordon, Robbie and Bartolo, but that appears to be what is going on.

they play THREE MORE twinkies and Cleveland play monday in Cleveland while the Sox are in Minny resting If milton pitches on Sunday, be interesting to see if Santana or Pulido or Reed pitches

Dougie MIeniekeiieiiiieiiiieie flies out twinkies lose 4-3 we don't take advantage, but somehow we are still tied for first

Mike Timlin ain't Dennis Eckersley

cleveland gets leadoff man on in the 8th gotta have SOME good news tonight

Twinkies out in the 8th, still behind, 4-2 Rally time, damn it

The Boston bullpen has given it up quite a few times this season. time for the Sox (white) to get their share.

Boston has four hits imagine if they had more no, don't

appears that LeCroy just flew out to right with two on and two outs in the seventh bottom of 7 Tribe 4 twinkies 2 wake up, fellas

how about this? The only Red Sox batter who has not walked is -- Walker

Rather than chase the division title, the White sox decided to Walk On By

another walk? must be a mistake 5 by Wright 4 by Koch 2 by wunsch 1 by Schoeneweis Where's Cotts when you need him?
