We've got the Sunday lineup going today...

That it is....

Paul Konerko, who is hitless in 10 at-bats in this weekend series, is not in the Chicago White Sox lineup Sunday for the finale against the Seattle Mariners.

 

Adam Dunn is at first base, with Dayan Viciedo as the DH. Leadoff hitter Alejandro De Aza also gets a rest, with Brent Lillibridge taking his spot. It is also a day of rest for third baseman Orlando Hudson.

 

The lineup behind Chris Sale:

 

Lillibridge, cf

 

Beckham, 2b

 

Dunn, 1b

 

Viciedo, DH

 

Rios, rf

 

Fukudome, lf

 

Ramirez, ss

 

Flowers, c

 

Escobar, 3b

 

Sale, p

Can we just DFA Dome if he has an O'fer today? I feel like we're going to try too hard to get something out of this guy, who has nothing left, when we should be getting a look at Jordan Danks.

Oy...that lineup sucks.

 

Oh well, gotta give guys like De Aza a rest. That guy's been playing non-stop for like 3 weeks now.

Totally agree. In his limited ABs, he's hitting .171 this year. Just seems like a wasted roster spot.

We've got the Sunday lineup going today...

Sure is.

I'm not a fan of taking the bat out of Jordan Danks' hands when he was finally hitting his stride. He's not too old to be a prospect, might as well let him hit the rest of the season down in AAA

Ouch. I get it, but still ouch.

 

I don't want losing 2 of 3 to friggin Seattle after winning 9 in a row to send this team into a funk.

I feel a big game for Lexi today. I'm calling for a 3/4 day with a HR.

If you'll allow me to fall into negative mode (aka normal mode): Have your 9 game streak snapped by an inferior team and scored 8 runs and STILL lost. Put out a Sunday line up that will possibly (probably) lose you 2 of 3 against an inferior team. Followed by an off day? They better destroy Toronto on Tuesday or I start fretting again haha.

Sounds good to me.

 

Verlander in trouble early.

 

The mortality of he and Papa Fatass this year will go a long way toward making us division champs.

Three years in AAA, he's finally figured it out, or maxed out as he should, but still has the glaring K weakness. There's nothing left for him to prove down there, IMO. More AB's won't get him closer to handling MLB pitching - he needs to learn here now, going forward. JMO. I think Jordan's a bench player, but still an upgrade over Dome in several ways. Can play all three OF positions/has much more pop.

This Seattle team did just score 31 runs in 2 games against the best team in the AL...you think Texas fans are fretting??

Good quick inning forr Chris.

 

My guess is he's going to be pitching a bit more to contact today to save his pitch count.

Gordon looks like a Power Ranger in these unis

Everything Millwood is thowing is away. If Lillibridge reaches, he has to try and steal

The numbers on the back of these jerseys are enormous.

Sale got squeezed there. That 2-2 pitch was a strike.

That had to be like 450 feet.

89mph fastball to dead fastball hitter. Not good with this ridiculous Sox lineup

We've got plenty of thump in the lineup today

Yeah, Sale should have had the side struck out, but ump squeezed him.

When's the last time Fukudome had an AB?

May 22nd. The last time he started a game was May 20th.
