Boyd vs Cease

Let's keep hitting lefties!

 

Pat Mac's Irish Ale from Horse Thief Hollow was lucky for the end of Game 1...have another for Game 2 or...Goose Island Sox Golden Ale for the sweep? ?

With an actual big league lineup. Let's go!

They just said on NBC gonna be a delay because of storms?  I'm looking at blue skies here in Chicago.

I’m trying to hit every Chicago brewpub this year starting Memorial Day.

Looking forward to hitting the two that way, sad Argus in Pullman closed last March.

Golden Ale is a solid choice, believe they brew it here vs. the n Baldswinsville/ Fort Collins.

Looks like murders row compared to last game.  Can't wait to see Engel back.  Leury is working on my last nerve.

Can Eaton take his suspension for this one? 

Just announced they will not start game two until they allow a “potential storm line” to pass through. No start time was conveyed.

Jerry wants that concession ca$h.

@Jack ParkmanI got to say that you were one of the only people who didn't give up on Giolito and repeatedly said the ace was still in there. The guy proves you right over an extended period of time and becomes a top tier pitcher, and then after two not great starts you have jumped off the wagon and put him fourth in the rotation. It's one of my favorite things about you and also one of the funniest.

It ranks up there with Fathom having a database of negative stats on every player in all types of situations.

Usually you'd say you don't want to start a game and stop it ruining the starting pitcher, but with Cease LaRussa would probably pull him before any rain anyway

Must admit it must have been hard to choose Giolito as your token sunshine story to preserve credibility ("see, I'm not negative about everything, I like the worst pitcher in baseball for God's sake!") only to see him turn around and actually become good. You should try Lopez, I have a feeling he won't disappoint

Boobirds out at the park for screwing the fans a 2nd straight night

I mean, he still has a 3.45 SIERA and his other peripherals are great so he'll be fine. 

Based on how they're pitching right now, that's how I'd line 'em up. 

I think Giolito will be the guy from the last two years by the end of the season if he still has 96-97 in him, and I think he can still be very good even if he doesn't, if not quite ace level. 

I'm not jumping off the wagon at all, but right now he's the Sox 3rd or 4th best starter, depending on how you view Kopech.

Tony will need to reach over a quarter into his seventeenth season to allow Leury to pass Cal Ripken Junior.

Garcia must be one of the worst hitters in baseball ever to get two starts in a DHer.

Yeah yeah, I know, he's now suddenly the most clutch-iest hitter on the team.

Well, here's the list of some of the players who are actually WORSE than Leury on offense this year.

 

LaRussa must believe that Leury's actually peak Rafael Furcal, and goes on similar hot streaks.
