LAST TIME IN WHITE SOX LAND

 

 

The Machine imploded, giving up Six runs to the lowly Royals. Humber started his Return to Sanity tour.

 

NOW the Sox welcome the free-spending Tigers to the South Side.

 

Welcoming the p****cats to Chicago will be...

 

 

John Danks...who is very excited for something.

 

Countering him will be...

 

 

Gary Oldman

George Smiley

 

 

Drew Smyly. Seen here...not smiling.

 

Smyly leads the league in ERA, but the Sox lit him up for two runs (a lot for both the Sox and Smyly) and he's been plagued by John Dank's Syndrome: s***ty run support.

 

And who cares about his ERA? We got this guy:

 

 

Swag.

 

THE WHITE SOX LOOK TO REBOUND.

 

WILL JOHN DANKS BE AN ACE?

 

YES.

 

BECAUSE f*** ALL THE HATERS.

 

THIS.

 

IS.

 

WHITE SOX.

 

BASEBALL.

This pitching matchup has regression to the mean written all over it.

 

Danks is a far better pitcher than we've seen so far, and he made progress his last outing. His ERA is headed down, he'll continue to improve.

 

Smyly pitched in only 23 minor league games in his career, and he's currently leading the league in ERA? Below 2? Not sustainable. He's got weaknesses, they will be found, soon. His ERA has to go up. And the Sox did better against him than anyone else has thus far.

 

Let math be math tonight.

We need a Detroit Sucks smiley.

Why? Doesn't just typing the word "Detroit" pretty much imply "sucks" anyway?

If I were doing word association, that would be my response every single time.

I have been told there is more than one way to skin a cat so let's find one of those ways and win this series

What a remarkable resemblance.

Now that's a kick ass game thread starter

Only 1 game ahead of the Royals in the loss column

What a remarkable resemblance.

Dunn or David Letterman bobblehead!

Now that's a kick ass game thread starter

+1

Either that or this will be the ultimate jinx post tonight.

Not a good opening for Danks.

Prince is 0 for his last 22...

Prince is 0 for his last 22...

Your fault.

Make that 1 for his last 23....Totally saw that coming

Woops De Aza

Well this sucks.

some ugly defense by ADA

How many pitches does John Danks have? 1?

So glad Danks is paid to be Sox losing streak stopper.

Hey John, try and get out of the 1st if you can.

How many pitches does John Danks have? 1?

 

Yep and it's called "ball"
