An unexpected second game thread. Well it worked out yesterday so...

 

This one is going to be on a bit late on the east coast so the Sox better give me a reason to stay up.

Make it a streak. The M's are struggling, so a win would be expected.

But we are struggling too...they may expect a win lol.

 

Anyway go Sox

Mark buehrle pinch hits in the 17th inning at 3am chicago time, game winning homerun

Robin Ventura will sub for Stone on radio this weekend.

I love these late-night games because they give me an excuse to stay up late. Go Sox!

Too bad we miss out on Felix Hernandez and Eric Bedard

 

Silva, Washburn, Batista we gotta take at least 2 out of 3

we have absolutely pounded carlos silva in the past...

While Washburn and Batista shut us down start after start.

Tonights game could set a tone for the trip... lets try and set a good tone.

Destroy them Jose.

Ichiro will reach base to start the game.

Ichiro will reach base to start the game.

Jose will then strike out the next 27 batters.

I think a poor offensive showing tonight sets the stage for a miserable road trip. If we lose, that's fine...but score more than 2 runs though.

If we win the SEA and SFO series' and split with LAA, I'll be happy. That's a 6-4 road trip. Anything more is just icing.

 

But game 1 is key to setting the tone, as others have said. Jose has been a pleasant surprise this year, at least from my perspective. Keep it up Jose!

 

Jose will then strike out the next 27 batters.

Correction - halfway through the game he will strike out a guy who will reach base on a passed ball. So he will actually strike out 28 batters.

NO SEXSON Either!

 

NEW YORK -- Seattle slugger Richie Sexson was suspended for six games and fined Friday by Major League Baseball after charging the mound and throwing his helmet at a Texas pitcher the previous night.

It seems like everything is shaping up for a sox sweep. Everything is falling into place. No bedard, no washburn, no sexson!~

I'm sure he'll appeal and play in the series.

Sexson could well appeal.

Go go white sox! THey better win the series. The only thing the Mariners are hitting lately is the Rangers pitchers. And with their helmets! ZING!

Washburn will pitch tomorrow unless something changed that I don't know about. The Sox will miss King Felix though which is bad news for Brian Anderson.

Kalapse...I can appreciate you being a Quentin fan and all...but that avatar kind of gives me the willies!!!!

Sexson could well appeal.

Sexson will play in the series. At least according to the Seattle Post Intelligencer.

Sexson slapped with six-game suspension; he'll appeal

 

The enforcement division of the Commissioner's Office came down hard on Seattle first baseman Richie Sexson Friday.

 

Sexson, who charged the mound Thursday night after feeling Texas' starter Kason Gabbard had thrown at his head, was hit with a six-day suspension by Bob Watson, Vice President of On-Field Opperations for MLB.

 

The suspension was due to start Friday night, but Sexson filed an appeal, and the suspension won't be enforced until the appeal is heard. So Sexson is expected to be in Seattle's lineup tonight when the slumping Mariners start a three-game series with the Chicago White Sox.

 

Traditionally appeals are cut in half, more or less, upon appeal so Sexson is likely to come out of this with a three- or four-game suspension after having charged the mound and having thrown his batting helmet at Gabbard.

 

Felix Hernandez, who had to be restrained after the brawl started, and two Rangers, catcher Gerald Laird and pitcher Sidney Ponson, both were fined.

Jose will then strike out the next 27 batters.

 

Edit: Jose will strike out the next 26 batters after picking Ichiro off.
