Thank God this game is back on NBC Chicago. What a trainwreck that Apple broadcast was yesterday.

We've got Dealin' Dylan Cease on the mound who is coming off the best start of his career so far. Their Sox are starting Nick Pivetta who is 0-4 with an era over 7. Our bats are heating up, so on paper we take this series today. I'd like to see less men left on base, but I'm glad guys are actually getting on.

Lets extend this streak to 5!

Looks like we will get McGuire and Grandal again today.

Career .681 ops for active Sox hitters against Pivetta.

I would like Robert to hit another massive dong.  And AJ to stop sucking in general.  Hits w/ RISP would be quite welcome too.  Let’s win the series today boys!

I’m going to have to miss this one which is a bummer (heh) since Cease’s outings have become must view TV but him being out there combined with the sparks were seeing from the offense makes me confident today. Let’s make it 5 in a row and get back to .500!

Thank god they switched Cease and Keuchel. I’ll be there Thursday.

Yes, it's derby party day. I will only watch updates today.

Jesus @Tnetennba keep it PG! 

I wonder if Graveman and Hendriks will be available. They’ve pitched a ton recently. Hopefully there is an offensive explosion so their services aren’t necessary.

Pretty excited to say I'm going to the game today unless the plane crashes or United pulls their typical delay tactics. We've pulled away from the gate and the engines appear to be getting revved up though, so fingers crossed for a safe landing and fun game. Go White Sox!

Nice looking lineup today.  Probably the best set up with the current roster.

TA SS, Pollock LF, Abreu 1B, Robert CF, Yaz C, Sheets DH, Burger 3B, Engel RF, Leury 2B

Hey now!  Don't be afraid of massive Robert dongs!

 

LFG

 

AJ really needs to be dropped from the 2 spot, but there really isn't anyone I'd prefer there until Yoan and AV get back.

 

What was the point of signing Harrison if they're not going to play him?

There was no point. Waste of $$.

I said when they signed him he was just going to be a part time player as his bonuses started at 400 plate appearances.

It seems TLR likes to put the struggling players the spot before Abreu.  He did it early with Robert when he was struggling.

Need to stop having Grandal so low in the order. Need to have a good hitter behind him to take advantage of his walks.

Easy win.

 

Sheets is looking threadbare.

He's got a .280 something OBP%.  He sucks too.

He's starting to walk more though. That OBP was below .200 a couple weeks ago.
