No Quentin tonight...so what? No excuses. Buehrle & Co. will show, the only beatdowns that occur on the Southside are on the field. RIP EM!!1!

XM Radio tonight. Buerhle can go more than 6. 7 or 8 is my guess. I think the starting staff is showing up again after two real good performances by Danks and Vazquez

Getz is starting at 2B and batting 9th.

So we're not playing CQ or Ramirez tonight?

I know Quentin is out for sure, pretty sure Ramirez is out as well.

Ramirez might be starting at short to give Cabrera a breather. Maybe.

Wow, Ozzie's trying to make sure we don't win tonight if he's playing neither Ramirez or Quentin.

Good for the kid to show what he can do. I might even take him as my PTC just to show my support.

Where are the lineups posted?

You have to use your bench sometime

I have no prediction for the game itself, but Griffey will hit his first home run as a Chicago White Sox and tie Sammy Sosa on the all time list this evening.

I prefer we use Getz tomorrow when Quentin is back(supposedly)

Yeah, I am a big fan of Getz and really high on his ability, but you have got to keep Ramirez in the lineup every game because he is a difference maker and it is especially importnat without your best hitter.

Aviles 2B

Teahen RF

DeJesus CF

Guillen LF

Butler 1B

Olivo DH

Gordon 3B

Buck C

Pena JR SS

 

Cabrera SS

Pierzynski C

Dye RF

Thome DH

Konerko 1B

Griffey JR CF

Swisher LF

Uribe 3B

Getz 2B

PK is so due to bust out.

Since the ASB the Sox are 12-12 with only 2 multi-game winning streaks and only one that was longer than 2 games (4, July 22-26 vs. Tex and Det). The other was last weeks two straight wins at home vs. the Tigers. We need to start winning games and put together a little streak, because we could find ourselves trailing the Twins by a few games while they're at home for the next week or so.

 

EDIT:We're also only 8-6 at home since the ASB. We'd all like to see our road record improve, but we need to win more home games, where we've been real solid all year. What this comes down to is pitching. Its improved a lot in the past week or so, hopefully that continues. Hopefully we can just dominate a few teams and put together one of our patented 5-7 game winning streaks soon.

And quite frankly...if we want Alexei to have a shot at the batting title he needs plate appearances. We try hard enough to get wins for our pitchers.

Getz r' Done

Gordon will be in the booth with Hawk and DJ in the third inning.

As Good as it Getz

On the other hand... Alexei, to me, hasn't looked as sharp the last couple games as he has. And this is a much longer season than he is used to. I am all for giving him a day off.

 

And tomorrow, with Broadway pitching, I'd rather not have a first-gamer like Getz on the infield behind him.

SWEET. I hope it is Hawk and DJ with him, not just DJ in the corner. But then again if Hawk is in on the interview with him, I am sure the conversion will steer toward Georgia and what a great state it is since they are both from there. And if Beckham is a golfer that would be even worst, it would be a 10 minute interview about golf courses in Georgia.

As Good as it Getz

If he does something big today, that would be an easy headline in the paper tomorrow.

If Getz really ends up working out and Alexei turns out to be really as good as he's looked so far, where does Gordon Beckham fit in the picture down the line?
