I'm going tonight, because my dad bought tickets when Sale was pitching.

 

Maybe that was the entire point of moving Sale back.

 

Sell tickets for Wednesday, then move Sale's start back and then sell tickets for Friday.

Please, don't get swept by the f***ing Cubs, at f***ing home.

 

I have absolutely no faith in Floyd to keep this from happening, though

Give away Gavin =

How far away is Brent Morel from returning? I know everybody hates him but I'm not sure if I'm ready to give up on him yet. Defensively he's at least a lot better than Hudson, and offensively is something Manto can work on him with. I'm willing to give him this year to see if he can work through the kinks.

 

What's frightening is this is a back issue. Those never go away. It may be a new Sox curse at that position.

 

Escobar is at 3B tonight. I'd like to see what he can do with two weeks of regular play.

He won't hit, but he will field, which would be an improvement.

Exactly. If Hudson isn't gonna hit either, I'd much rather take the plus defense.

Cubs@Sox 7:10. De Aza cf, Beckham 2b, Dunn dh, Konerko 1b, Rios rf, Piezynski c, Viciedo lf, Ramirez ss, Escobar 3b. Floyd v. Wells.

I wonder if this is the end of the Hudson experiment.

I agree, and if he fails give Lillibridge 2 weeks of steady play.

What happens to the BP cup if we get swept? The sox got it when we won 3 against the cubs.

I think Esco has some talent....he can't give worse AB's than Hudson and although he is not a plus defender at 3rd, I dont' see him being worse than Hudson has been. That said, I'm with your plan here, if he can't hack it over a 2 week span then move on to the next guy. Also, I want to know how many times KW has asked Robin how he feels this year. Player/manager anyone??

 

666 minor league OPS.

 

Escobar won't hit, and SS is his best defensive position by far.

 

It's like playing Vizquel there, but I would give Omar the slight advantage defensively because of his experience and savvy.

 

 

 

Speaking of interesting line-ups today, the Indians are starting Jose Lopez at 2B so they can keep Chisenhall in the line-up. That's a disaster waiting to happen.

So still an upgrade from having Orlando "my head's been up my a$$ since I arrived in Chicago" Hudson playing there right...??

 

Edit: Sorry, I figured that was just as good as any other nickname given here on SoxTalk.

If we get swept by the Cubs after the other faceplants against NL teams I think my head will explode tonight.

We'd be 1/2 game out of last in the AL East.

 

In the AL Central, the Royals could be 3 1/2 games out after tonight's action.

Taking bets on how many innings Floyd gets before he's pulled. Over/under is set at 4.

I don't like Floyd, but I'll take the over. He's due for a good game, and it is the Cubs.

I feel better about Gavin because I've seen him be a pretty damn good pitcher for a lot of innings before. I love Humber and it was amazing to see that game earlier this year, but his success consists of something like 20 starts, maybe. That said, I hope they both get really hot and make the decisions difficult in a good way.

Time for Gavin to show up, Sox really need him tonight!......................I will take the over!

Let's go Gavin and White Sox!

Gavin 0-3 against Cubs and Sox 0-4 in games Gavin has started against the Cubs lifetime.

Well we've escaped our first fastball down the middle.

 

Gavin must be feeling frisky, hitting 94 now

He's thrown inside to each batter at least once, that's a good start. At least try to do it.

Curveball is biting, just nibbling with it. Can that f***ing cutter when the curve is working Gavin.
