We missed you in the chat tonight, Nuke.

Horrible picture of Grienke, he looks like a 12 year old.

We missed you in the chat tonight, Nuke.

 

 

I was out for the evening. I didn't even get in until the 7th inning had started and I caught the end of the game with whoever was there. I defenitely wont be around tomorrow though. I got a whole trainload of stuff to do and won't be around in the evening.

Garland goes for No. 12 against KC

In just his 14th start of 2005, Jon Garland can match a win total that he took 33 starts to reach in 2004, 32 in 2003 and 33 to hit again in 2002.

 

But picking up victory No. 12, which would be a Major League high, doesn't seem to add any extra importance into this appearance for the right-hander.

 

"We will see when it comes," said Garland of the significance held by wins Nos. 12 and 13. "All I can do is go one start at a time.

 

"I didn't deserve to win the last one, but things went my way," Garland added. "It all eventually evens out, though."

 

Garland gave up six runs in six innings during his last start on Wednesday against Arizona, but a 10-run sixth inning for the White Sox produced victory No. 11. He has a 6-0 record with a 3.30 ERA at U.S. Cellular Field this season.

 

Zack Greinke, another talented young right-hander who hasn't had near the success of Garland, gets the call for the Royals. Despite having a 1-7 record and an ERA just short of 6.00, Greinke has looked solid against the White Sox this season. He has allowed seven hits and three earned runs over 14 1/3 innings and two starts, striking out 12 and walking four.

 

Paul Konerko and Carl Everett have found absolutely no luck against Greinke, with Konerko producing one hit in 13 at-bats and Everett going hitless in 13 trips to the plate. The White Sox have a 7-0 record against the Royals this season and have won eight in a row and 12 of their last 13 against Kansas City dating back to 2004.

 

Pitching matchup

KC: RHP Zack Greinke

• 1-7, 5.97 ERA in 2005

• 0-1, 1.88 ERA in 2005 vs. CWS

 

CWS: RHP Jon Garland

• 11-2, 3.61 ERA in 2005

• 3-1, 4.37 ERA in 2004 vs. KC

 

Player to watch

With hits in nine of his last 11 games, Joe Crede has watched his average rise to .243. He has a chance to take it a step higher on Tuesday, with five hits in 12 career at-bats against Greinke, including one home run and two RBIs.

 

Quotable

"We haven't had the discussion yet, but I doubt it. We have confidence in the kid and if you do that, you take the confidence away from the kid. I'm not saying I won't do it. I will think about it." --White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, on possibly skipping Brandon McCarthy for Sunday's series finale against the Cubs and pitching Garland on regular rest

Garland owned the Royals even when he was still Judy. He should have no problems now that his name if officially Jon.

It's a long season, and ya gotta trust it.

Yeah, watch him win tonight and then go John Snyder on us.

Garland's gonna need to be awesome because we always have trouble with Greinke.

I love the clche's and they are so true!

Not expecting too many runs after last night's slugfest.

 

Greinke's usually good against us and the Royals have been Garland's b****es.

 

 

Greinke is usually solid verses us, but look at the offense he's had behind him and you see the 1-7 record.. This might turn out to be a good pitchers duel

lets bust the game wide open quick and win this one

I think that his 5.97 ERA hasn't helped out his offense much either.

If I'm correct, Greinke has an excellent curveball and throws a bunch of breaking balls and offspeed stuff. If that's the case, the White Sox will have trouble. We don't handle those type of pitchers too well at all.
