Tonight's Lineup

 

A little different look against the left-hander ...

 

Pods, LF; Ozuna, 3B; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; Dye, RF; AJ, C; Iguchi, 2B; Uribe, SS, Anderson, CF. Vazquez pitching.

 

Gooch drops down in the order. Interesting...

Pablo is playing 3rd tonight and batting second, as Iguchi gets moved down in the order. Ozzie Jr. isn't going to be happy. He ripped his dad on his radio show for attempting to move Iguchi out of the 2 hole. His view was if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

With this lineup, and Victor Martinez behind the plate...GET OFF TO THE RACES.

 

Seriously, anyone not named Konerko, Thome, or Pierzynski has a shot to steal on Martinez if they get on base. And Cliff Lee hasn't given him much help this year.

 

Manufacture a few runs, cause some problems, and let's win this bloody game. Keep it going Javy, and stop those damn big innings.

 

Oh, and by the way...Brandon McCarthy MUST get work tonight.

Agreed, i wanna see some McCarthy/Thornton/Tracey/Jenks love tonight, any two of those will do. I also want a no-no from Javy so we might not even see the pen tonight

I just want BMac to keep getting work. He hasn't pitched since Tuesday. Rust has clearly been a problem for him previously, and he was dynamite on Tuesday when he looked like he was starting to get into a rhythm.

I am surprised Cintron isn't at 2B tonight. Iguchi is around .200 against lefties, I believe.

i agree i think he needs consistant work to get a feel for his change/curve.

Vasquez has great numbers vs. Cleveland, and Lee has been horrible against us I believe (at least those 2 have been true this year). So in theory, this pitching matchup should favor us strongly, whereas Sabathia vs. Buehrle should favor Cleveland strongly.

 

What will happen? Cleveland wins tonight, we win tomorrow I bet. That's just how baseball is .

"These fans here in Chicago are a black eye, cussing when there are kids around. I mean it's just bad for baseball."

 

Thank you Jamie. We'll try and do a better job next time you're in town to make your stay more pleasant.

f*** him.

f*** him.

i hope you didn't type that with kids around

Any word on Crede??

 

Should be interesting with both Pods and Ozuna at the top of the order. I don't believe I've seen that before.

Supposedly Joe should be playing tomorrow, IIRC. Linky.

 

Crede is listed as day-to-day and, in accordance with manager Ozzie Guillen's policy of giving players who leave a game an extra day of rest, will not play in Friday's opener against the Indians.

 

"There's nothing really wrong, and he expects to play Saturday," Guillen said after talking with Crede. Guillen had not yet spoken with White Sox athletic trainer Herm Schneider.

Blow me, Jamie.

Safe Bet:

 

Brian Anderson goes 0-4 tonight.

He's going to get 4 at bats?

I realize this isn't going to make any more popular around here (not that I was to begin with), but I'm going to agree with Jamie on this one. Not just in Chicago per se but at any sports event. People need to more mindful of what they do and say and how it can affect the people around them, particularly the younger people in attendance.

Unless you suspect Mackowiak is a nice defensive replacement.

Right. And this never happens in Detroit. Or New York. Or Boston. It's not right, but for him to single out the fans in Chicago is just lame.

Yeah, I'll give you that point.
