I do not feel confident in those 30 games against Minnesota and Cleveland, and the Sox always struggle with KC and Oakland no matter how bad they are.

The Sox are what their record says they are.  

We know.

Newsflash: They're never going to be healthy. Nobody is. 

Even with the long-term injuries to Robert and Jimenez last year, they were one of the healthiest teams in baseball. 

Fully healthy? Yeah probably not. In terms of not losing key players for long stretches? I think they can get a little more lucky in that regard in the 2H.

Looking for the White Sox to start a winning streak tonight. Getting Anderson back is huge, hopefully the bats stay hot and Lynn pitches a solid game. 

I'm really not feeling good about this series. I hope I'm wrong but this just feels like it's gonna be another series loss or sweep to another good team. Having TA back will be nice and is sorely needed, but we have much bigger issues than that, sadly.

Who's getting injured in this series? 

 

Just put Yoan on the IL. They’re nuts if they think he will be fine in 24-48 hours.

 

 

What in the world do they think will change between now and the start of the game tonight? Come on someone after in charge and make a bloody decision.

This is universal in all of pro sports today, players have to learn the difference between pain and injury.  Mike Singletary could fight through pain and illnesss, so could Jordan.  Take the hair bun who tweaks his knee and is like I’m done let me throw a ball at the grass to show my frustration but pitches with zero ill effects days later.  Only to go off, using his pitching arm, to abuse products in the dugout (like the genius that he is) after he blows the game yesterday.  Players are too soft, just cuz you experience pain doesn’t mean you shut it down.  You fight through it like Jordan did.  Either the Sox training staff is one of the worst in the past 30 years or players are too soft nowadays.  What’s next, I got a hang nail and can’t pitch.  Let me just brush my hair in the dugout and put it in a man bun please?  Time for these players to play like men and quit wincing at the smallest form of pain.  Or fire the training staff, one or the other has to happen to get anywhere.

Hair bun had his knee drained. There was an injury there.

I sincerely believe that we must strive mightily to win this game and more as we move ahead 

I'm not excited about $5.60 a gallon gas but it's great to be back in Illinois and easy, legal, wagering. I'm thinking the over for today. Lynn could really get lit up.

But isn't it nice to get confirmation? 

Burger at 3B, Harrison at 2B.

One lefty in the lineup is pathetic.  Berrios is another guy who’s way tougher on righties than lefties.  Stay hot Hahn!

The only lefties available are McGuire, Leury and Haseley so there's not much to pick from.

Sure let’s start the guy batting .208 over the guy who’s hit and batting .272 at second base

Not exactly a new development over here.

That’s his point.

Is there some kind of a power struggle going on here?  There is something we aren't being told, because none of this adds up on the surface. 

Maybe they are trying to rush someone to Chicago, but don't know if they can get them here in time?

Can't think of what else it could be.
