Well I'm sure not excited about this lineup. I'd guess Uribe's only in there since 3b D won't be great tonight. Might as well keep one side above average. I hope the bats come out tonight.

Ozzie lied! Uribe back in there tonight at second, and no Joe tonight.

 

Swish CF, OC SS, Thome DH, PK 1B, Dye RF, AJ C, Quentin LF, Ozuna 3B, Uribe 2B

 

 

Still no Brian Anderson either

Aside from CF Tampa's park is smaller than the Cell. I really think this entire series may be a slug fest.

I wouldn't mind seeing that. chicago has had a ton of low scoring games of late. it would be nice to get 10+ runs in one of these games in Tampa.

A couple guys named Vazquez, Danks, and Buehrle might have something to say about that.

Terrible lineup...with all the guys we have slumping, I can't believe we're benching Crede. It will be nice if Richar can return, as we're way too righty dominant in the lineup.

Yeah I can hope so. But aren't the Sox and Tampa tied for the lead in hrs? That's why I expect some high scoring games. The only thing that makes me think otherwise is that Tampa is fairly young and so veteran pitching may over match them.

what a s***ty day.

 

I was suppose to make the trip from Orlando to Tampa for the game but my car wasnt done with repairs in time. And now mlb.tv has blacked out the game b/c I'm in the Tampa market. And Orlando might be the only f***ing city that doesnt carry FSN b/c of some cable dispute. Looks like I'll be listening to the radio tonight.

I say this every year, but I hate watching games from Tropicana on TV. Looks so dark and dull.

Luckily they'll be getting a new park. That park looks SWEET!

Atta boy swish.

God Konerko is in a slump. Hope he turns it around soon.

I am getting tired of PK...so slow and always go in to long slumps.

It is not so much that Konerko is an a slump as it is that I can not remember the last time he was actual hot.

PK continues to kill our offense. One of these days, Cabrera will actually hit it where he's supposed to on the hit-and-run.

Ugh, I can't believe we couldn't score. Let's go Javy!

It is not so much that Konerko is an a slump as it is that I can not remember the last time he was actual hot.

July of last year he hit 8 home runs and put up a 1.076 OPS. In June he hit 7 and put up a .957.

And that's why Ozuna should not be playing 3rd base. The defensive mojo needs to turn around.

With a fast lineup I think Crede should definitely be playing. If the problem continues I can only hope Joe will come in for the later innings.

One off day in 15 games for a day coming off major back surgery is not the worst idea in the world. That translates to a 152 game a year pace for him.

Even though he had a good day yesterday, I wish it had come then. Baltimore is a much slower team.

no pena tonight...thats good

I wonder if the D-Rays fans are as mad about that as the people here are about Crede getting a day off.

Isn't Pena also in a real bad slump?
