Sadly, I'm going to be scared about G on the road every game until he has a few good ones in a row.

Doesn't matter. The Sox are getting at least 6 today.

That was a hell of a play by Alexei.

That was close to being an incredible DP. Nice save by Konerko.

Absolutely horrific footwork by Beckham there. He needs to be more flexible on the turn.

Nice, very nice.

Good job Gavin, keep the offensive swagger going.

Peavy's fastball got a little wild in the first and it cost him. I'm not sure I trust the KC gun but it had him 94 through the whole game.

Did he have the good slider going?

Do a hit-and-run here!

It's not just you. He's been awful their this year.

You are correct. He belongs as a corner OF already.

Did he have the good slider going?

Again, aside from the 1st inning, yeah.

Excellent, I was out all night, and when I heard he pitched into the 9th, I was stunned.

If he was pitching with a team that had any confidence in its closer, he'd have pitched 8.

Is Jayson Nix our only hitter to swing at a 3-0 pitch all season?

I think a couple others have over the past week.

What has happened more often these telecasts, Frank saying no doubt about it, or Hawk sucking the Big Hurt off?
