Pitching matchup

MIN: RHP Carlos Silva (1-2, 7.59 ERA)

It's been a frustrating start to the year for the Twins' ground ball pitcher. He has struggled to get hitters to chase his sinkers and instead has been beaten by lots of singles. The White Sox could be a good rebound team for Silva, who allowed only one earned run over seven innings in his only outing against them last year.

 

CWS: RHP Jose Contreras (2-0, 1.29 ERA)

The right-hander was absolutely dominant last Monday night at home against the hapless and undermanned Royals, allowing just one hit over seven innings. Since a rough first inning against the Indians to begin the 2006 season, Contreras and his various arm angles have been as solid as any pitcher in baseball. The right-hander has allowed only 13 hits and four walks over 21 innings, while striking out 11. Contreras has a 2-1 career record with a 2.54 ERA against the Twins.

 

Aboz gets the jump on the gamethread!

 

Lets Rip Em!

 

Hasnt 8 games been a high water mark for the White Sox win streaks for quite some time now? I cannot remember them going past 8 games in a row for some time now.

Yep. They did it multiple times last year, with the last being the final 8 games of the playoffs.

Sox need to once again break out the brooms. This will be my 7th game of the season, hopefully going 6-1 in games seen.

This will be my 7th as well, but I am only hoping for a 5-2 record

Which means, since we won opening day, that we had a 9 game streak.

Lets go sox.

Lets see Count duplicate his last start

No game for me til Sox/Cubs.

 

Anyway, Sox are on a great roll, let's finish off the Twinkies and move on to the West Coast.

Should we be expecting a "Ozzie's Sunday Special" line up today? Oh wait, Timo is gone and most of the reserves played yesterday.

The Ozzie Sunday Special just doesnt bother me anymore. These reserves are great.

lets make it 8

 

I find it ironic that for as long as I can remember we only make it to 8 games, but 7 is crap so lets go for the sweep

Anyone up for a game chat today?

Wow, Brian making a very awkward play.

Runners at the corners. One out.

 

Come on, Count.

The walk getting JC in trouble early.

1-0 Twins on the sac fly. The walk hurt Contreras.

AARON ROWAND WOULDVE THROWN THAT GUY OUT

He would have hit the back of the pitcher's mound, and he would have killed 100 worms on the throw.
