I can't think of the last time I saw us play a worse half game (4 and a half innings) than we did today. I'm sure I've seen it, but it's been years.

Hopefully this embarrassment of a team will take the pressure off Gavin and give him some confidence.

The thing that drives me even more nuts is you waste a day like this on defense and the mound against a guy like Johan. Baker is SO awful, you know your going to score and should get a win against him.

Indeed there are...fans have really been great this year.

the more runs we score the more this hurts, anyone else agree?

UGH....what a freaking waste. This should be a damn win, screw you Baker. Paulie with a missle though.

It's a 7 run ball-game folks!

cut in half!!!!!!!!

the more runs we score the more this hurts, anyone else agree?

 

Not a surprise....Baker is pathetic. It does hurt more though, you should win against a pitcher like this.

Sox with a touchdown just after halftime. Still down a touchdown and an extra point, however.

Mack now 8 for 8 against Baker in his career. That's something else.

Hell yea, if we can force a punt here then look out.

Because you're an idiot Robert, that's why.

If you had told me we'd score 7 in the ENTIRE game with Garland going I'd say it's a win for sure. But instead, we have 7 through 5 and are somehow still getting doubled up. Baseball is a strange game.

Ha Ha. I said the exact same thing when they read that letter.

It took us until the 6th, but that's their first inning not scoring a run.

 

If we can just hold them down the rest of the way and hit 2 grand slams, we've got this thing.

I think we can grind our way to 8 runs for the victory.

Mack is 8 for 8 against Baker in his career now, wonder what the record is for most at bats against one guy without making an out?

 

And now Minnesota gets in on the act with an error, lol.

Owens notches his second hit of the game there

RBI groundout for Juan, 14-8. For some reason I refuse to believe this game is for sure over with as strange as it's been. Also, I was at the game on the 4th and thought I couldn't possibly have seen an uglier game.....but today's game is proving that statement to be false.

Hope we're not blowin our load here.

nice...

Off topic this is from Ken Rosenthal:

 

The stalemate in the White Sox's negotiations with left-hander Mark Buehrle is fueling industry speculation that Sox general manager Ken Williams will soon trade the pitcher.

 

"I get that sense from talking to people and from the (White Sox's) response to us, but it's hard to tell — Kenny loves disinformation," says an executive from an interested club.

 

Another executive flatly predicts a trade, saying White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf won't give in to Buehrle's desire for a full no-trade clause — and that Buehrle is just as stubborn.

4th error, wow. liner to Fields, still 1st and 3rd 1 out.

And this from Jayson Stark ESPN Insider

 

Jul 6 - According to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark, the White Sox are reportedly marketing Buehrle aggressively, but teams are balking at the price -- three players with two being prime-time prospects. Stark is also hearing that Boston might be getting back in on Buehrle and trying to expand the deal to include Julio Lugo.
