Today we have the venerable Christopher Sale

 

Perhaps he'll bring dat closer face today

 

 

he's sharing the rubber with Nick Blackburn, who I expect to get an earful from that old crab Ron Gardenhire

 

 

 

LET'S TAKE THE RUBBER MATCH BOYS

It would be nice to see Dunn with a day off. Maybe Youkilis at first and Konerko DH? Or Danks in LF and Dayan at DH?

I would rather Dayan DH and see Danks in left.

 

 

I hope Sale destroys their lefthanded lineup today. I know Mauer hates hitting against him

This would be a big win for the club as they head to New York for a very tough four game series. Lets give Sale some offense tonight! WAKE UP BATS!

Or Konerko with a day off today, since Dunn should sit Friday vs. Captain Cheeseburger.

2012 Sox winning percentage . . .

 

when Sale starts: .643

in day games: .621

on the road: .588

vs. RHP: .585

vs. AL Central: .571

 

In theory, there is no game the Sox are more likely to win than Sale starting on the road during the day against an AL Central opponent with a righty starter.

I approve this post.

Wow. Let's call the bookie! Can't lose!

Give Dunn the day off against Sabathia this weekend. Nick Blackburn is absolutely terrible, maybe he can help Dunn get on a hot streak again.

I don't need to hear about Chris sharing rubbers with Nick Blackburn...or anyone else for that matter....

Is this one of those games that, as Hawk says, "the boys will be fighting to get to the bat rack first"?

 

Oh my, this means we're about to get shut out again.

Escobar 3b

Youk 1b

Dunn dh

Rios rf

AJP c

Alexei ss

Danks lf

Hudson 2b

Enough lefties in that lineup?

 

They could squeeze one more in if they moved Dunn to 1B and let Sale bat.

Very lefty lineup....hope it works out vs Blackburn.

I do think that PK,Tank and Gordo could use the day off before heading to NYC.

Now, please,can someone other than Alex,Alexei and Youk get a hit?

Nick Blackburn has been absolutely pathetic this season, let's make today one of those stat padding blowouts and get all our bats back on track.

 

Lefties vs. Blackburn this year: .380/.468/.598/1.066

Nick Blackburn this year vs LHB - .380 / .468 / .496

 

Wow.

 

That explains all the lefties in the lineup today.

I think this calls for a patented Soxtalk freak-the-f*** out session about sunday lineups and ruining batters mindsets forever and ever and stuff

So, Robin apparently looks at stats.

Wow.

My stats were a bit off (hence the deletion), the slugging % is actually much worse, LOL. WHarris's post has the right stats.

WTF is Robin doing? Danks, Escobar, & Hudson in one lineup? It's Wednesday not Sunday! Just throwing away a game because his players are tired? Awful!!!
