White Sox are 5 games behind DET in the Al Central, with 31 left to play. They have a half game lead on MIN for the wildcard. Sox have their ace on the mound.

 

And I'm 3-0 in regular season game threads.

 

ahem... do re mi fa so la te do...

 

GO YOU WHITE SOX!!!!!!!

Pinnage for victory.

Go get em Jon. Stand em up and sit em down.

 

Welcome back Jim.

Welcome back Big Jimmy! Your gonna rock in that 5th hole where you belong! C'mon Jon G! Your our Ace, keep the consistency going big guy!

 

Theres a chance we can only be 3.5 games behind Detroit after tonite. Right now Detroit is trailing New York 2-0 in the 6th in game 1!

The Central isn't close to being over White Sox nation. It isn't over by a LONG SHOT!

JG please continue to throw "bowling balls" up there.

These are the games where the Sox scare me.......when on paper everything points to blowout in our favor

 

1) their starter is 0-6 in his last 8 starts

2) our ace is on the mound going 11-1 with a 2.97 ERA over that period

3) they're the worst road team in baseball, currently on an 11 game losing streak

4) we're getting a slugger back and Dye remains in the three hole where is AL player of the week

5) DET is down two with two at bats left and we have a chance to gain more ground on them

 

There's not a single category on paper that says we could possibly lose, except these are the games where our guys typically lay down........................will be interesting...........

tigers lose, 4.5 games back. This is huge!!

and they could be in the process of losing again an hour before our game starts, could be 3.5 before the night is over.......considering we were 7.5 games out after two against them, people should see how quickly a 4 game swing can happen.......

Scoreboard watching as officially begun for me. I watched the last of the Yankee's game on Gamecast. September could be a long and exciting month.

 

Let's hope the Yankees stay on a roll . . .

the Destoyit Tigers looked very bad in game 1.....they are in freefall....somebody get them a parachute....

Destoyit? Is that a joke of some unknown variety or really bad spelling?

Is Game two of the Tiger double header really scheduled for 7:05?? That seems stupid. Even if it is a double rain out thing.

Things are looking in the right direction! Just need to play some good fundamental baseball starting tonite! Wow how big would it be if were just 3.5 games back of the division?!? That would be a big confidence booster for the team.

Remember, this is a game in New York, which means that tickets can be sold and money made for both games. You just need the time to empty the stadium between games.

I see it's the ESPN game tonight as well. I forget which Yankee it was but he talked about the rock star like surroundings the Yankees have and how it can get tiring.

7 eastern.

is there a lineup yet?

7 eastern.

 

I just IM'd my Detroit friend and she stated the obvious: the TV schedule. The 7:05 game was scheduled for TV--they're not going to lose the ad revenue by covering it mid-day.

Stay hot JG

Let's hope Jon steps it up again. He does and the sox win.

You're worried about Oakland? One game at a time, my friend.

This will be a classic 2006 White Sox letdown night. Everything points to a sure-fire, no miss win for the Palehose, but in true 2006 choke style, they will figure out a way to stink up the place. I hope I'm wrong and will be happy to absorb the criticism and ridicule if indeed I am. It's the least I can do, and my sacrifice for a Sox victory.

Pods, LF; Iguchi, 2B; Dye, RF; Thome, DH; PK, 1B; AJ, C; Crede, 3B; Uribe, SS; BA, CF. Jon Garland on the mound.
