Stupid. Why does Ichuchi who is a dangerous hitter, bunt in the first inning, and a guy like Widger who has been looking for a hit longer than The Go Go's, doesn't. Failing to bunt there cost the Sox a run.

 

Our managing has sucked since the start of the Boston series. Kudos to Leyland for playing his starters all 3 games this series.

i am crying right now, where did my white sox run off to?

This is shaping up to be another 4 runs on 14 hits games like we saw in NY.

Leadoff man on.

 

Nice feel to this game so far.

Pods would have taken strike 3 at least twice today off Rogers.

I'd rather that than what Pablo is doing.

Folks, Widger is the BACKUP catcher, AJ can't start every game! Every team in the majors has the same setup as the Sox do so this shouldn't continue to be something to get angry about nor to be fixed so enuff of the ragging!

 

And Ozuna grounds into a double play. Way to go, Pablo

It's been fun watching Ozzie get his ass handed to him by the best managers of the American League over these past few series.

Where is Detroit's backup catcher today?

Gooch has trouble w/lefties, so he plays Cintron last night. Guillen is in a slump

I know it's still early, but I dont like the look of this game so far.

AJ (along with the rest of the STARTING lineup) should be starting every game in a HUGE series.

We need to win this game, we can't afford to go 5.5 games behind. Remember pitchers we still have the second half of the season to go.

I agree. They need a RH OF that can play all three positions.

But as Hawk says, this is a much bigger game for Detroit than it is for the Sox.

Then why was he not bunting?

There's a break.

I would like our backup catcher to at least get more than a hit in a month. Especially considering he gets more playing time than a lot of backup catchers out in baseball.

WHEW -hut hard

That's a break.

Luck. YAY!

nice quick inning considered the lead-off hit. anyone have pitch counts for both pitchers?

Lets go guys-make this old guy pitch

BEAUTIFUL pitch by the Count and Widger right there to get the groundout to 2B
