Man, these last few days have felt like 2 weeks. I'm lost without White Sox baseball. Let's get this second half started off right.

 

amen to that!

 

i've been sitting around all day just WAITING for 5:30... ugh 2 and a half more hours...

This game can't start soon enough. My head is spinning from reading all the trade threads.

 

 

Yup... when you don't play baseball for four day, the trade threads go nuts.

I'm looking forward to this game more than any other aside from Opening Night.

i guess i never realized how much weaker that yankee lineup is this year than in recent memory. wow.

Widger's stats against Johnson:

 

.250 BA in 12 AB's, .308 OBP

 

Ozuna's stats against Johnson:

 

.500 in 4 AB's, .500 OBP

 

Widger just might do alright at the plate, it's how the game will be called that is a bit concerning. Contreras will keep him in line though

Didn't widger go yard against RJ last year?

 

I'm desperate to feel good about him playing tonight.

ozuna looked awful at the plate last weekend. hope that was just a glitch...and not a return to form.

Yes he did, on a fastball at his eyes.

Pods doesn't have great numbers against Johnson at all, and provided Ozuna has fully healed, I think an argument could be made that he just might field better than Pods could tonight at Yankee stadium

Has Jiggets been ousted by Chicago Tribune LIVE? Shanowski is very monotonous and bland IMO.

pre-recorded anthem???

Them cheap Yankees. Can't even get a singer to sing the national anthem LIVE!

 

i was about to say that with jiggets, did he fet fired?

Let's get them Yankee boo birds out right away!

 

NO! It's FROEMING!!!

ill start of this game thread right,

 

O-E-O Pa-blo

2 down.

First team I've seen not to have the Thome shift.

zer lame!

Are you kidding me? That pitch was nowhere near a strike. There's a Yankee strikeout call right there.

can you say high and outside...

Anderson + heralded lefty = good night for Brian
