The longest for the white sox in that time span... probally not the entire mlb.

I bet you it was the whole MLB...Schilling had the longest in the last 5 years at like 41 or 42.

Have we even hit any triples this year?

 

I mean, our ballpark isn't exactly conducive to them....no wierd angles or gaps in the corners.

 

Rain's here...at least MB got through his 6+ innings already.

 

Six of them.

 

Three for iguchi.

One for rowand.

One for dye.

One for uribe.

I'm pretty sure Black Jack had the longest streak in the last 15 years or so, and I'm pretty sure it was 48.

 

He keeps this up this streak alone might win him the Cy.

Hopefully the Cy and the well deserved GG.

101 Pitches for MB through 7 innings.

 

MARK I LOVE YOU!

 

We've outscored Cleveland 15-3 in this series. God wouldn't you hate to be those guys? Supposedly having a solid offense, being outscored 15-3, and then going into the 4th game of a series and having to face an All Star sitting on 13 wins?

That should be it for Mark since he did start the ASG.

Cotts is warming up. It will be interesting if we don't see even a sign of Shingo. It would pretty much confirm all the trade rumors.

Cotts is up.

Shingo could pitch unless he'd already been traded. Probably would want him to anyway...make sure he's still all right.

Holy crap, right as you posted that I did as well in the sub forum, same thing basically.

Trust me, if we have an agreement in place, or are close to trading him, he won't pitch today.

Shingo is pretty bad against the tribe...

 

Time for the tribe to set up their Cotts, Neal is coming in.

That was one of the quickest 1-2-3 innings I've ever seen by the Sox hitters in the top of the 8th. Throw strikes Neal!

Shingo has also really struggled against Cleveland.

Or it could be that Cleveland has murdered him this yr with 5 HR's and Ozzie sees no reason in risking more damage.

Cotts + wet baseball = nervous Sox fan

Shingo has also really struggled against Cleveland.

He's struggled against the Cleveland Lefties (Hafner et al.) Last time he pitched against their righties he did fine.

Good catch by Dye there. Nice change from the outfielder he was earlier in the year where he dropped more than his fair share.

Is Cotts trying out for the Bandits?

Cotts under handing that from practically the pitchers mound was pretty weird.

Rare hit by Cotts allowed against a righty batter. Might we see Jenks today?

Viz is warming up. Bye Shingo!

Wet ball...no reason to rush the throw and end up having it slip out of your hand.

Some very good defense by the Sox today. Who will we see in the 9th?

If we see Viz instead of Shingo in the 9th, how can you not believe the rumor?

Because of the fact that Shingo gets rocked by Cleveland. Why have him come in, have a chance to give up a couple runs then have to run out the back end. It makes plenty of sense.
