Heads said yesterday that he won't be here today, so the gamethread's up for everyone. I see that yesterday's thread is still up, so I thought I'd start up today's.

 

I thought about doing today, but I'm bad mojo.

I think we're ready to platoon Erstad/Terrero and Sweeney should be playing every day, except for against the toughest lefties. He's too young to be a platoon player, and he hits righties (at least this year) worse than lefties statistically (not sure about historically).

tonights lineup:

 

Erstad, CF

Uribe, SS - he's been doing okay, I guess, but 2?

Pierzynski, C

Konerko, 1B

Dye, RF

Mack, DH

Crede, 3B

Iguchi, 2B

Sweeney, LF - yahoo!

Uribe has one of the best approaches at the plate right now, can't hurt to try him in the 2 hole. Gooch is swinging his bat through mud right now, he is superslow.

AJ batting 3rd, might as well at this point. Nice to see Sweeney back in there.

And thats why Uribe is hitting 2nd

BOOOOM!!!

 

Wow, maybe he should be batting cleanup.

Uribe!

time for a 3 run shot

 

haha, kc... always good for some run scoring errors

If Sweeney gets a hit here I'll stop calling him overrated for a while.

This sux because when Iam at work like this during a game I depend on the game thread to update me on what the hell is going on.But this lack of activity is very dissappointing.

Predictable.

So freaking sick of Iguchi's at-bats. Erstad needs to hit that ball in the air there. It's too bad we couldn't take advantage of the Royals trying to let us blow them out.

It may be my imagination, but there appeared to be something different about Sweeney's swing his last AB.

 

I'll have to pay closer attention his next time up. From first glance, his three swings just didn't look right.

F***ing Erstad... Sweeney has a nice AB as Elarton wasn't giving anything to him, and Erstad goes and does that. Erstad sure is great at those 6-4-3, 6-3 and 4-3 putouts. Reminds me of our post ASB CF in 2005.

yea, that was very lame by grindy

Thome's wife = HOT.

A hitting coach that shall remain nameless better be working with our power hitters not hitting, and not trying to elongate and f*** up another swing.

Erstad's OPS now sits at .640. Of course, he'll bunt a runner over next week and drive in a run on a 1-for-4 night, and everyone will be gah-gah over him again.

 

We need a CFer. Let's let Erstad play in a role he'd be perfectly acceptable in as the 4th OFer, and hopefully Kenny can get the Sox a real CFer by July.

Buehrle's control is way off right now.

I knew someone would bring up his name, that's why I didn't want to jump to conclusions.

Sweeney's swing definitely seemed longer and not smooth.

he doesn't seem to have his good stuff today.
