You know, I didn't realize before today that Contreras has a lower ERA than Bonderman.

He's had a habit of pitching great for most of the game but finding the key moment to turn it into a loss or no decision.

JC looks good so far, attacking the hitters like he should be.

They GAWN!!! All of em.

JC k's the side!! Bottom of the 1st 0-0

Well, Jose, that's certainly not a bad way to start the game...3 straight strikeouts. Yeah, we'll take that.

HOLY s***!!!!!!!!!

 

 

CONTRERAS IS THROWING THE FASTBALL AND LOCATING IT!!!!!!!

 

 

YOU SEE THE RESULT!!!!!!!

 

 

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!

Very nice inning. Way to go Count

Chat is heating up already. Stop in and say hi!

 

 

I take it Jose doesn't want to be traded

Mercy

Vegas has the odds posted on AL MVP & not one WhiteSox is even mentioned....hmmmm....nice work in 1st JC!

We need to get to Bonderman early, before he settles in.

Beautiful. I love Tadahito.

Man Frank. Get the ball in the air. Second straight game.

Can you pick a guy on our lineup who has earned an MVP?

 

Literally, Konerko needs to hit like .420 in the 2nd half to get his name in that race. There are guys with over 80 RBI's already.

second night in a row frank's left a guy on third with one out. He's not a #3 hitter anymore.

Nope. But no way a change will be made unless you see a total collapse. Frank never has been a big situational hitter, and it's even more magnified now.

I agree. He is a #4 hitter, but then again we really don't have a #3 hitter. I thought Rowand could have hit 3rd, but he hasn't performed as well as he did last year yet. Iguchi is another possibility, but we don't have a #2 type hitter to replace him. I doubt Ozzie would change the lineup right now, but i think this one would be a bit better....Pods, Rowand, Iguchi, Frank, Pk, Dye, AJ, Crede, Uribe.

Iguchi has been too damn good in the 2nd spot. Too damn good.

Beautiful Joe. Just the pitcher you want to do it for too.

That's comical that wasn't called an error on Crede. Hopefully, Contreras can pitch over the rare miscue by the left side of the infield.

Thanks JOe.

That's the Contreras we all know and hate. The man just can't overcome defensive lapses. However, that Crede grounder should definitely be changed to an error.

Iguchi has been too damn good in the 2nd spot.  Too damn good.

I agree, but Rowand was great there last year as well. I think Iguchi has more power than he has shown so far, being in the #2 hole has limited his opportunities to hit Hr's. I believe he could easily hit 20-25 hrs a year. BTW JC gives up a 3-run bomb!!!!!

That's what's wrong with Contreras. Guy strikes out 4 of the first 5 guys he sees, somehow gives up a 3-run homer.
