I've actually always liked Alexei in the 2nd spot, as I think having a runner in motion keeps him focused on not pulling off the ball.

Well the April version of Alexei I don't even want in the lineup, let alone batting 2nd.

How is this game not being delayed? It looks like it's raining pretty hard.

Wait, I missed something - Paulie is going to the All-Star game?

 

Morneau is out with a concussion. So Konerko was named to replace him

How come Juan never gets a day off? Everybody else does.

Juan and Omar have no pop in their bats.

He's one of those guys that plays just about every inning of every game.

 

He consistently is right up there every year in games played.

Is paulie starting the game?

 

no, he's a reserve. Cabrera is starting now.

I was just thinking. They also could easily have added Billy Butler instead of Paulie to the game. Paulie's had a better year, though.

Ugh, this offense really needs some lefty thump.

What the f*** are you doing Rios?

AJP has got to stop calling for 2 strike fastballs!! Bad defense there cost us a gift out.

Mitch Meier isn't a bad hitter.

Good job pitching over it!

Good use of offspeed!

How can Ned Yost play Guillen? It's painful to see him jog the bases with his injury.

3rd time around? We should start teeing off on Bannister soon.

Gordon HAS TALENT.

He can't be sent down. He can turn it around! Quick bat on that meat.

Nice Gordo!

 

You suck Pierre!

 

I know lilly was hot, but I Ozzie giving him a chance to do some good while we're on a streak like this. Get his confidence up.

I turned around to see Gordon take a swing thinking superstitiously "if I watch him the whole time he will hit a bomb." Next swing, BOOM!

 

You're welcome all.

Wow, that was Sheffield-esque!

HE'S ALIVE!

At least Omar goes with the pitch. Nice hit.

I like that Rios is trying to pull the ball a little bit more.

Will Paulie make the White Sox Hall of Fame?

Time for a Paulie HR. It's been awhile.

Yah Paulie! That's a real big run!
